Fix fonts and layout differences

When a PDF looks different from the source, check fonts first, then inspect the output page by page.

Make fonts available

Office layout can change when a source font is unavailable. Install or mount the required fonts on the machine that runs Jetformat, then pass the directory when the command supports it.

CLI
jetformat convert slides.pptx --font-dir ./fonts -o slides.pdf
jetformat pdf render slides.pdf --pages 1 --width 1600 -o preview

Inspect the result

  1. Run pdf info to confirm the output is a real PDF.
  2. Render the first page and a page where the layout changed.
  3. Compare the rendered pages with the source in the same viewer.

Know the boundary

Jetformat is a deterministic converter, not a pixel-perfect clone of every Office application. If a file depends on a proprietary font or unsupported feature, keep the command error and tell the user what needs attention.
