Hi,
When I try to convert ppt file to pdf format, I get “C++ exception with description “The type initializer for 'Aspose.Slides.​ ’ threw an exception.” thrown in the test body.”
I use Aspose.Slides for .Net 21.11.
My OS - Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon, Cinnamon version - 4.2.4
Mono version - Mono JIT compiler version 4.6.2 (Debian 4.6.2.7+dfsg-1ubuntu1)
My test file - Test.ppt.zip (23.5 KB)

The code for conversion is below:

var doc = (new Aspose.Slides.PresentationFactory()).ReadPresentation(inputStream);
doc.Save(outputStream, Aspose.Slides.Export.SaveFormat.Pdf);

Conversion with Aspose.Slides for .NET 21.08 goes without errors.
Also I cannot convert it on mac with latest mono version 6.12.0.122.

I call my code via mono_runtime_invoke(). If I add mono_print_unhandled_exception() I get:

Unhandled Exception:
