Aspose.Words NullReferenceException when converting WordML document to PDF

Hi,

I’m getting a System.NullReferenceException when trying to convert a Word 2003 (WordML) document to PDF. The documents opens fine in MS Word 2003. I’m using Aspose.Words 13.1.0 running under Mono on Linux. The conversion code is mainly

Document doc = new Document(inputFile);
doc.Save(outputFile, SaveFormat.Pdf);

and works fine for a lot of other documents which look similar. The stack trace with the exception I'm getting:
 
Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

I can of course provide the Word file, but I would prefer to not post it publicly. Would it be possible to send the file to someone via PM or e-mail?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Philipp,

Thanks for your inquiry.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to say what the problem is without the document. I need your document to reproduce the problem on my side. Please note that it is safe to attach files in the forum. If you attach your document here, only you and Aspose staff members can download it. You can also send the file to my email as described here:
http://www.aspose.com/corporate/purchase/faqs/send-license-to-aspose-staff.aspx

Moreover, you can also remove any sensitive information by replacing it with dummy data instead.
Best regards,

Hi,

I didn’t know that attached files were not visible to everyone. I now edited the original post and attached the problematic WordML file.

Thanks for your help!
