A generic error occurred in GDI+ by converting PDF to TIF

Hi dear Aspose support,

for a project, we are converting email attachments to TIF. Some of the PDF files give us the exception below. I do know what causes the exception but I'm curious if you could give me some hints for a workaround.

I tried originally with using TiffDevice, where I got the GDI+ exceptions at first place and after that I tried using PdfConverter, just to see, that TiffDevice is used internally, which produces the same exceptions.

My code is:

private static bool ConvertPdfToTif(string sourceFilePath, string destinationFilePath, bool preserveColors, bool applyApplicationDpi = false)
{
//this is set as a workaround for a huge Aspose problem, which they already confirmed. If one tries to force an one bit color here,
//then the memory usage goes freaking wild and an OutOfMemory exception is thrown.
preserveColors = true;

var pdfConverter = new PdfConverter();
try
{
pdfConverter.BindPdf(sourceFilePath);

// Create Resolution object
var resolution300 = new Aspose.Pdf.Devices.Resolution(NumericConstants.ApplicationDPI);
var resolution96 = new Aspose.Pdf.Devices.Resolution(96);

// Create TiffSettings object
var tiffSettings = new Aspose.Pdf.Devices.TiffSettings();

tiffSettings.Compression = preserveColors ? Aspose.Pdf.Devices.CompressionType.LZW : Aspose.Pdf.Devices.CompressionType.CCITT4;
tiffSettings.Depth = preserveColors ? Aspose.Pdf.Devices.ColorDepth.Default : Aspose.Pdf.Devices.ColorDepth.Format1bpp;
tiffSettings.SkipBlankPages = false;

//Convert
pdfConverter.DoConvert();

pdfConverter.Resolution = applyApplicationDpi ? resolution300 : resolution96;
pdfConverter.SaveAsTIFF(destinationFilePath, tiffSettings);

return File.Exists(destinationFilePath);
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
SLogger.WriteError(exc, null, "Dateiname: " + sourceFilePath);
return false;
}
finally
{
pdfConverter.Close();
}
}

===Exception===

Thanks in advance for the help!
