Aspose.Pdf Issue

We recently upgraded to v8.0 of Aspose.Pdf (.NET). We’re noticing an issue while trying to create an image of a given PDF document’s first page. The error appears to be occurring while executing the Process method of GifDevice class. Below is the error information:

System.ArgumentException: Parameter is not valid.
at System.Drawing.Bitmap…ctor(Int32 width, Int32 height, PixelFormat format)
at .…ctor(? , )
at ..?(? , )
at .?.(? , ? , , ? , )
at .?.?(? )
at .?.( , )
at ..?( , , )
at ..( ) at .?.?( , ArrayList )
at .?.(? , , ? )
at ..?()
at Aspose.Pdf.Devices.GifDevice.Process(Page page, Stream output)


Here is the function that is used to create the image:
Public Shared Function CreateFirstPageImage(ByVal sInputPdfFileName As String) As String
Dim sDestFileName As String = sInputPdfFileName + WEB_IMAGE_EXTS.Keys(3)
’ changed from 0 (PNG) to 3 (GIF) for TR-409
Const FIRST_PAGE As Integer = 1
Const RES_VALUE As Integer = 300
Const MULTIPLIER As Double = 1.5
’ this is used to expand the dimensions of the pdf image

Dim oASPOSELicense As Aspose.Pdf.License = New Aspose.Pdf.License
oASPOSELicense.SetLicense(“Aspose.Pdf.lic”)

Dim pdfDocument As New Document(sInputPdfFileName)
Dim pdfPageCollection As PageCollection = pdfDocument.Pages

Dim pdfPage = pdfPageCollection(FIRST_PAGE)
Dim resolution As New Devices.Resolution(RES_VALUE)
Dim widthBuff As Double = pdfPage.ArtBox.Width * MULTIPLIER
Dim heightBuff As Double = pdfPage.ArtBox.Height * MULTIPLIER
Dim fppGif As New Devices.GifDevice(CInt(widthBuff), CInt(heightBuff), resolution)
Dim newFirstPagePreview As New FileStream(sDestFileName, FileMode.Create)
fppGif.Process(pdfPage, newFirstPagePreview)
newFirstPagePreview.Close()

Return sDestFileName
End Function

Any help to resovle this issue is greatly appreciated.
