Every day system is generating around 1000 PDF from html for past 7 years. Suddenly system is started failing for particular data when we started checking the data , found that no issues with data. We removed the images from PDF , then pdf was generated successfully when we add the images ,throwing below exception

We found that which is not happening for all the images , particularly some type of images has issue.
we tested with latest version and older version and both has same behavior.

using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
byte[] bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(html);
ms.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
Document doc = new Document(ms);

                foreach (Section sec in doc)
                {
                    sec.PageSetup.LeftMargin = -10;
                    sec.PageSetup.RightMargin = 5;
                    sec.PageSetup.TopMargin = 15;
                    sec.PageSetup.PaperSize = PaperSize.A4;
                }
       
                doc.Save(outputPath);
            }<a class="attachment" href="/uploads/default/41112">Capture.JPG</a> (39.6 KB)

@vanapandin,

Please ZIP and attach the following resources here for testing:

  • Your simplified input HTML file you are getting this problem with
  • Please also create a standalone simple Console application (source code without compilation errors) that helps us to reproduce your current problem on our end and attach it here for testing. Please do not include Aspose.Words DLL files in it to reduce the file size.

As soon as you get these pieces of information ready, we will start investigation into your scenario and provide you more information.

The following simple C# code of Aspose.Words version 20.8 causes the same exception upon HTML to PDF conversion:

Document doc = new Document(@"C:\Aspose_POC\Aspose_POC\welcome.html");
doc.Save(@"C:\Aspose_POC\Aspose_POC\\20.8.pdf");
