I have a Docx that i want to convert to PDF.
When i call the “new Document()”, i get the following error :

 Exception in thread "main" com.aspose.words.FileCorruptedException: The document appears to be corrupted and cannot be loaded.

Here is the test document :
test.docx (64.2 KB)

Here is the code used :

import com.aspose.words.Document;
import com.aspose.words.SaveFormat;

String input  = "C:\\temp\\docToPDF\\test.docx";
String output = "C:\\temp\\docToPDF\\test.pdf";

Document doc = new Document(input);
doc.save(output, SaveFormat.PDF);

The error happen only if i use the license aspose word.

Can someone take a look and help me to solve it? Please

The error you are encountering, FileCorruptedException, indicates that the DOCX file you are trying to load may be corrupted or not in a valid format. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

  1. Check the Document: Open the DOCX file in Microsoft Word or another compatible word processor to see if it opens without any issues. If it does not open, the file may indeed be corrupted.

  2. Recreate the Document: If the document is corrupted, try recreating it from scratch or using a backup version if available.

  3. Verify License Application: Since you mentioned that the error occurs only when using the Aspose license, ensure that the license is correctly applied in your code. Double-check the license application code to confirm it is set up properly.

  4. Check for Updates: Ensure that you are using the latest version of Aspose.Words, as updates may include bug fixes and improvements that could resolve your issue.

  5. Contact Support: If none of the above solutions work, consider reaching out to Aspose support with the problematic document for further assistance.

If you can provide more details about the document or any specific changes made before the error occurred, I may be able to offer more targeted advice.
