After append cover page will throw exception

Aspose.Words Product Family

a document after adding a cover page, when saving document aspose will throw exception.

my test code: (excute this function twice will always throw exception)

private void btnAddCover_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string builtinBuildingblock = @"C:\Users\CHN\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks\1033\15\Built-In Building Blocks.dotx";
    string docFile = @"C:\Users\CHN\Desktop\testDoc\Test.Docx";
    ADoc.Document docx = new ADoc.Document(docFile);
    new DocumentNormalizer(docx).Normalize();
    ADoc.Document docBuildingBlocks = new ADoc.Document(builtinBuildingblock);
    CreateCover(docx, docBuildingBlocks, "Semaphore");
    docx.Save(docFile, SaveFormat.Docx);
}

DocumentNormalizer class just delete some unnecessary document node.

please use attechment to test. the attachment include the some part of sourcecode.

thanks.

Hi Pyntia,

Thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately, at the moment, we’re not able to reproduce this issue on our end because some bits of code are missing from your shared code (CreateCover function definition is missing). We suggest you please create a standalone runnable simple console application that helps us reproduce the same exception on our end and attach it here for testing. As soon as you get this application ready, we’ll investigate the issue further and provide you more information. Thanks for your cooperation.

Best regards,

i sorry for my careless, below is lost function:

    ADoc.BuildingBlocks.GlossaryDocument glossaryDocument = docBuildingBlocks.GlossaryDocument;
    foreach (ADoc.BuildingBlocks.BuildingBlock buildingBlock in glossaryDocument.BuildingBlocks)
    {
        if (buildingBlock.Gallery.ToString().StartsWith("CoverPage"))
        {
            if (buildingBlock.Name == coverName)
            {
                // clone section which you want to keep layout of
                ADoc.Section sec = docx.FirstSection.Clone();
                // remove existing content of this section
                sec.RemoveAllChildren();
                // append content of buildingBlock to this section
                foreach (ADoc.Node node in ((ADoc.Section)buildingBlock.FirstChild).ChildNodes)
                    sec.AppendChild(docx.ImportNode(node, true));
                docx.InsertBefore(sec, docx.FirstChild);
                break;
            }
        }
    }

Hi Pyntia,

Thanks for your inquiry. When using Aspose.Words for .NET 14.2.0 and your code, I was unable to reproduce this issue on my side. I have generated an output .docx here for your reference (see attached out.docx). I suggest you please upgrade to the latest version from the following link:

https://downloads.aspose.com/words/net

I hope, this helps.

Best regards,

Hi Pyntia,

While using the previous version of Aspose.Words i.e. 14.2.0, I managed to reproduce “System.ArgumentException” on my side. I have logged this issue in our bug tracking system. The ID of this issue is WORDSNET-9962.

I also tested your scenario with latest version of Aspose.Words 14.3.0 but unfortunately it threw “Aspose.Words.FileCorruptedException” during loading “Built-In Building Blocks.dotx” document into its DOM. This issue has also been logged as WORDSNET-9960.

Your request has also been linked to these issues and you will be notified as soon as they are resolved. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,

hi, Awais

i found a another question about cover page interaction.

if you use the test project to insert cover which named “Austin”, the result cover page will be rendering mistake obviously.

10

the correct render picture in word

11

additional information:

cover named “Slice (Dark)” also have this problem.

so many bugs in cover page.

12

i have update the test project to show another new issue.

in this project, if adding cover named “Semaphore”,“Whisp”,“Motion”,“Filigree” will always throw exception.

the interesting things is: this time the test document is very very simple which include in attechment with name “Custom Cover Page.docx”

please use attechment for further testing.
