Conversion from docx to pdf brings different results between Debian12, Ubuntu 24.10, Docker and Online Version

[roswitina]

I have converted a Word document (docx) with 15 pages into a PDF file using StirlingPDF. I used the app version: 0.41.0, which I installed in Proxmox in an LCX container under Debian 12.

I noticed that the document had 16 pages after the conversion (the text was moved) and on page 2 the page numbers were not displayed in the table of contents on the right-hand side.

When I converted the same document to https://stirlingpdf.io/file-to-pdf, the first page was partially moved to page 2 and then the table of contents was displayed (this time with legible page numbers). The entire document was extended from 15 pages to 18 pages.

I therefore created a 2-page Word document for testing. I tested this document with the following versions:

1. app 0.41 installed in Debian 12 with LibreOffice 7.4.7.2
2. app 0.41 installed in Ubuntu 24.10 with LibreOffice 24.8.4.2
3. app 0.41 installed with current Docker version latest-fat
4. app 0.41 from the website https://stirlingpdf.io/
5. LibreOffice 24.8.4.2 Export to PDF

The installed versions of LibreOffice depend on the operating system used. Debian 12, for example, only recognizes versions up to 7.6xx; Ubuntu 24.10 already installed version 24.8.4.2.

The results are very different.

I used the Docker version App 0.42, but the result of my test file remained the same...

Hello,

Got almost the same result with docx.
I feel the .doc export is better, is it the same for you ?

But i don't know how to disable / hide , .docx export :/

I have saved my test document as *.doc. The result of the conversion with Docker version 0.42 is the same as with *.docx. Unfortunately, it does not work.

I have tested the Docker App 0.43.1 with my Testdocument (docx and doc). The faulty generation still occurs. Unfortunately.

This looks like a Font issue
Will need to see what font these icons are etc and add to docker
