Problem & intended behavior

When a DOCX inline image does not fit in the remaining space on the current
page, MiniPdf drew it at the current cursor and let the page boundary clip it,
so the image was lost and the next page began with only the following content.
Word and LibreOffice keep the image whole by moving it to the next page.

Intended behavior: an inline image that would cross the bottom margin is moved
in its entirety to the next page.

Root cause: RenderImage called EnsurePage(), whose guard only adds a page
once the cursor is already past the bottom margin. In the "image would cross
the margin" case the cursor is still on the page, so no page was added and the
image overflowed off the bottom edge.

Linked issues / discussion

N/A — isolated rendering fix, no API/architecture change.

Change

  • src/MiniPdf/DocxToPdfConverter.cs: force a page break when the image would
    cross the bottom margin so the whole image moves to the next page; skip when
    already at the top of a fresh page so an image taller than the usable area
    still overflows instead of emitting a blank page ahead of it.
  • tests/MiniPdf.Tests/DocxToPdfConverterTests.cs: add a regression test.

Tests & validation commands

  • dotnet test tests/MiniPdf.Tests --configuration Release — 186/186 passing,
    including the new Convert_InlineImageThatDoesNotFit_MovesToNextPageWithoutClipping
    (fails against the pre-fix EnsurePage() behavior, passes with the fix).
  • scripts/Run-Benchmark_docx.ps1 -Filter "classic30" (focused DOCX visual) — improved
  • scripts/Run-Benchmark_docx.ps1 (full DOCX visual gate) — no regressions
  • scripts/Run-Benchmark.ps1 (full XLSX visual gate) — no regressions
  • git diff --check — clean

Before/after evidence (rendering change)

Benchmark score (docx, LibreOffice reference):

Case Before overall After overall Before visual After visual Pages cand/ref
docx_classic30_comprehensive_report 0.9086 0.9888 0.7759 0.9765 3/3

Reproduced with the published MiniPdf 0.41.1 NuGet package (before) vs. this
branch (after). Pages 2–3 shown below — page 2 = image clipped and lost at the
page bottom; page 3 = image correctly moved to the next page, matching the
LibreOffice reference:

classic30_before_after

Public API / compatibility impact

None. No public API change; behavior is unchanged for images that already fit.
Only the doesn't-fit-and-not-top-of-page path is affected.

Third-party material

None added.

Documentation

No user-visible API/CLI change; no documentation updates required.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Inline images that do not fit in the remaining space now move to the next available column or page without being clipped.
    • Prevented unnecessary blank pages when an oversized image begins on a fresh column or page.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage verifying that tall inline images remain fully within the printable area.

An inline image that did not fit in the remaining page space was clipped
at the page bottom and lost, because RenderImage called EnsurePage(),
whose guard only adds a page once the cursor is already past the bottom
margin. Force the break when the image would cross the margin so the whole
image moves to the next page, matching Word/LibreOffice. Skip when already
at the top of a fresh page so an image taller than the usable area still
overflows instead of emitting a blank page.

Benchmark: docx_classic30_comprehensive_report overall 0.9086 -> 0.9888,
visual 0.7759 -> 0.9765 (page 3). Full .NET suite 185/185; XLSX+DOCX
visual regression gate 0 regressions.
Add a regression test asserting an inline image that does not fit in the
remaining page space moves wholesale to the next page instead of being
clipped at the page bottom. Fails against the pre-fix EnsurePage() behavior.

Walkthrough

Changes

The converter now advances a non-fitting inline image to the next column when possible. It forces a new page after the final column or outside column flow. A regression test verifies that a tall image is not clipped.

Inline image pagination

Layer / File(s) Summary
Advance non-fitting images
src/MiniPdf/DocxToPdfConverter.cs
RenderImage uses AdvanceToNextColumn() when a later column is available. It uses ForceNewPage() after the final column or outside column flow.
Validate image placement
tests/MiniPdf.Tests/DocxToPdfConverterTests.cs
A DOCX fixture and regression test verify that a tall inline image moves to a later page and stays within the printable area.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 3da0d

Oversized inline images now move to a later column or page instead of being clipped at the bottom margin. The change includes regression coverage and has no remaining identified merge-blocking risk.

- Around line 3372-3373: Update the page-break logic around state.ForceNewPage()
to preserve multi-column flow: when the image fits within the usable full-column
height, call AdvanceToNextColumn() first, and only force a new page after the
last column or when the image exceeds that height. Preserve the existing
top-of-page behavior and use the surrounding state.Options and column

Comment thread src/MiniPdf/DocxToPdfConverter.cs Outdated
The previous fix always called ForceNewPage() when an inline image did not
fit in the remaining space. In a multi-column section that skipped the
remaining columns and broke the page prematurely. Mirror EnsurePage()'s
column handling: advance to the next column first, and only force a new page
when no column remains.
