Have you check the no of sheets you are giving in the smart service I think may be this is happening because of that.

Hi, I am also facing similar issue - In the generated pdf the headers and footers are getting disturbed - Currently using pdf from html smart service.

Can anyone suggest how we can avoid this issue?

Thanks

Hi Sudhir,

This usually happens due to font or layout incompatibility between DOCX and PDF conversion. Try these fixes:

  • Use standard fonts like Arial or Times New Roman.

  • Avoid text boxes or floating elements.

  • Check line spacing and table widths in the DOCX.

  • If using Appian, regenerate the DOCX from a clean template or convert via an external PDF library (like Aspose or iText) for better layout consistency.
