Hello,
Using Aspose.Pdf.dll version 17.1.0.0
Converting pdf file in attachment with code:
PdfFormatConversionOptions opts = new PdfFormatConversionOptions(report, PdfFormat.PDF_A_2A, ConvertErrorAction.Delete);
bool converted = inputDocument.Convert(opts);
inputDocument.Save(outputFilePath);
causes exception System.ArgumentException, hexadecimal value 0x1F, is an invalid character. when calling inputDocument.Save(outputFilePath).
Changing conversion options not giving any result.
Thank you,
Konstatnin.
Hello Konstatnin,
Thanks for using our API’s.

Can you please share the source PDF file and code sample so that we may try to reproduce the same on our end.
Hi @mudassir.fayyaz
Here’s some replicating code:

}
@mudassir.fayyaz It looks like my issue is related to the fact that the PDF has been password protected at some point. The non-password protected code works fine, the password protected code fails
@Weechap
I can not reproduce the issue with Aspose.PDF for .NET 21.5 so please upgrade to latest version and share your feedback.
Hi,
Could you please let me know if the original case PDFNET-42181 has been taken a look at?
Sincerely,
Anna
