When converting a word document to PDF bullet points inside word document get converted to clocks icon. Screenshot in the attachment. I have also attached both Word and PDF file in the attachment.

We are using PHP SDK to call the API.

Thank you,

You are getting the issue due to missing font. Please note since GroupDocs.Conversion Cloud 21.4, we start supporting the use of custom fonts in the conversion. Please create a font folder(fonts/ttf) in the cloud storage, copy the custom fonts(in this case symbol.ttf) to it and pass its path to the FontsPath parameter. It will resolve the issue.

$settings->setFontsPath("fonts/ttf");

Thank you @tilal.ahmad for you help.
This works exactly as expected. Following is the code if someone looking to resolve the same issue.

$watermark = new GroupDocs\Conversion\Model\WatermarkOptions();
$watermark->setItalic(true);
$watermark->setBold(true);

$settings = new GroupDocs\Conversion\Model\ConvertSettings();
$settings->setFontsPath("fonts/ttf");
