The text to pdf conversion fails in Linux containers executing it. I am getting the below exception during the save method to a memory stream.
This is happening only for some of the text files. The same files works without a problem locally on a windows machine running the same process.

My thread labeled “Use Aspose.PDF for .NET on Kubernetes with .NET Core 3.1 to generate PDF files*” turns out is throwing this same exception.
In my case I am implementing the PdfFileEditor.Concatinate using a list of MemoryStreams as input and a MemoryStream as output. This same code working under 3.1 Core… but not under a container, either Debian or Alpine.
using (MemoryStream targetStream = new MemoryStream())
{
bool result = pdfEditor.Concatenate(allStreams, targetStream);
targetStream.Position = 0;
_logger.LogInformation("Merge Result :" + result);
}
