We are facing one issue of converting from pdf to docx, few texts are getting overlapped. We are using the recent version of groupdocs conversion only.

Below is the java code snippet, we tried. Attached the pdf and converted docx for reference.

    String convertedFile = "template_" + templateId +".doc";
    com.groupdocs.conversion.Converter converter  = new com.groupdocs.conversion.Converter(file1.getAbsolutePath());

    WordProcessingConvertOptions options = new WordProcessingConvertOptions();
    options.setFormat(WordProcessingFileType.Doc);
    options.setPdfRecognitionMode(PdfRecognitionMode.FLOW);
    options.setFormat_ConvertOptions_New();
    options.setPageOrientation(PageOrientation.PORTRAIT);
    options.setZoom(50);
    options.setPageSize(PageSize.A4);

// options.setHeight(100);
// options.setWidth(100);
converter.convert(convertedFile, options);

Can you please share the login or raise the details to group docs support forum ticket?

But when we do conversion through the online, it was converted properly without issue.

Please let us know any other options to be specified for converter options to convert without the overlapping issue.

It was not the case, I have attached the source pdf and and target docx, in pdf the content was proper but in the target docx it was misaligned.

I have attached sample screenshot also for this.
