Build Page Layout of Document & Convert DOCX to PDF using C# .NET - Manage System.NullReferenceException

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

Hi,

We have found another issue with the newest version of Aspose.Words.
This document works with 19.11, but not with later versions. See pdfIssue.zip (13.8 KB)

        var document = new Document(@"..\pdfIssue.docx");
        document.UpdatePageLayout();

        document.Save(@"..\pdfIssue.pdf");

Could you please advise?

Thanks,
Lukasz

@acturisaspose,

@acturisaspose,

We have good news for you i.e. if everything goes by plan, we are very hopeful to fix this issue in the next release of Aspose.Words (20.2). But, I am afraid, there is no workaround available other than removing the UpdatePageLayout() call from the scenario. We will inform you here when 20.2 version will be released at the start of next month.
