Retain page geometry for each DOCX section.
extractDOCX returns only one PageSize and one Margins value. Each pgSz or pgMar replaces the previous value. convertDOCX then applies the final section geometry to every page.
Return section-aware pages with their applicable geometry. Otherwise, earlier sections render with the last section's margins and page size.

Embed all fonts required by the text operations.
prepareEmbeddedFont returns after the first registered font that can encode any one text operation. If that font handles an ASCII line but not a later Greek or CJK line, the implementation never considers later registered fonts. The later line falls back to WinAnsi and replaces unsupported characters with ?.
Assign a font to each text operation. Then append every used font to the PDF resources.

Preserve an explicit zero-margin override.
NewMargins(0, 0, 0, 0) succeeds, but this check replaces that value with 54-point margins. The generated PDF therefore ignores a valid public option.
Apply the default only when options.Margins is nil. Do not use Margins{} to represent both an explicit value and an absent value.

Apply orientation to the effective page size.
This code swaps the worksheet page size. renderTextPages later replaces it with options.PageSize. Therefore, Landscape has no effect when the caller also supplies PageSize.
Resolve PageSize first, then apply Landscape. Ensure that rendering does not replace the oriented dimensions afterward.
