Aspose.Words.FileCorruptedException with aspose word when converting to pdf - .NET

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

Currently we have sometimes with some docx files a Aspose.Words.FileCorruptedException with aspose word version 25.1.0 (.NET) when converting docx to pdf / on opening the docx file.
The docx file seems to be valid and can be editied with office word 365 without any problems.

Here is the complete stacktrace:

Aspose.Words.FileCorruptedException
  HResult=0x80131500
  Message=The document appears to be corrupted and cannot be loaded.

  StackTrace:

   at aspose_test.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\Users\neunzig\source\repos\aspose test\Program.cs:line 17
  This exception was originally thrown at this call stack:
    [External Code]
Inner Exception 1:

I can also provide you a “defect” docx file for testing.

@chris90 Thank you for additional information. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the problem on my side neither using 25.1 nor using the latest 25.3 version of Aspose.Words.
Could you please provide your code that will allow us to reproduce the problem? I used the following simple code for testing:

Document doc = new Document(@"C:\Temp\in.docx");
