Hi Team,

I’m looking to understand if the Greek language and literals are supported in docx to pdf conversion or not. We are trying to access via an available plugin from Appian BPM cloud platform. Anyhelp in this regards is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can convert a Word Document to PDF with Greek language and literals using Aspose.Words REST API. It supports the conversion with custom fonts. For this purpose, first, you need to upload custom fonts to cloud storage and later pass the folder path in fontsLocation parameter. Please check the sample code for the conversion. Hopefully, it will help you to accomplish the task. Please let us know if you face any issues in this regard.
