Out of curiosity, did you need to modify anything else apart from changing the smart service, or did you just keep the same template and inputs as before?

This is a classic problem with dynamic document generation, especially when dealing with line breaks. It sounds like the DOCX to PDF converter within the Advanced Document Templating plugin might be interpreting the line break character differently than how the DOCX itself renders it. Have you tried using a different method for populating the DOCX, perhaps one that specifically handles rich text or markdown? Sometimes the issue lies in how the initial data is formatted before it even hits the DOCX template. It reminds me of the unpredictable physics in Ragdoll Archers ; sometimes the simplest actions have unexpected outcomes. Exploring alternative character encodings beyond just XML entities could also be a path.

Harsha Sharma Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately we don't have option to revert as the plugin with higher version (3.x) has been installed first.

However, I'm able to fix the issue using new smart service "DOCX From Dynamic HTML" available in latest version.

Steps followed:

Generate a word DOCX document using DOCX From Dynamic HTML instead of DOCX From Dynamic Template
Convert to PDF using PDF from DOCX smart service

We have faced the same issue recently after updating Advanced Document Templating from version 1.1.0 to 3.2.0. As per investigation the latest plugin version has some issues and is affecting the font styling as well as formatting of pdf while docx is as per expectation. Reverting it back to the 1.x.x version resolved it. Try doing the same and check.
