Converting a MHTML file to PDF generates empty PDF file

Aspose.Words Product Family

Aspose.Words generates an empty PDF from the attached mhtml file (I use Enterprise license).
Can you please check if my code does something wrong or there is an issue in product?

Here ist the code:

private static string _inputPath = “…\TestPath”;
private static string _pattern = “*.mhtml”;
public static void ReadAndSaveWordDoc()
{

		foreach (FileInfo wordFile in new DirectoryInfo(_inputPath).GetFiles(_pattern, SearchOption.AllDirectories))
        {
            try
            {
                Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Processing file '{0}'.", wordFile.FullName));
                string testWordDocPath = wordFile.FullName;

                SetLicense(Properties.Resources.Aspose_Total);
                WordDocs.Saving.PdfSaveOptions options = new WordDocs.Saving.PdfSaveOptions();
                WordDocs.LoadOptions loadOptions = new WordDocs.LoadOptions();
                loadOptions.LoadFormat = WordDocs.LoadFormat.Mhtml;
                WordDocs.Document wordDoc = new WordDocs.Document(testWordDocPath, loadOptions);
                
				string outputPDF = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(testWordDocPath) + ".pdf";
        
				string savePath = Path.GetDirectoryName(testWordDocPath);
				options.Compliance = WordDocs.Saving.PdfCompliance.Pdf15;
				options.JpegQuality = 90;            
				options.PageIndex = 0;
				options.PageCount = wordDoc.PageCount;
				options.ZoomBehavior = WordDocs.Saving.PdfZoomBehavior.FitWidth;
				options.CustomPropertiesExport = WordDocs.Saving.PdfCustomPropertiesExport.Standard;
				wordDoc.CustomDocumentProperties.Add("CV_TextLayerGood ", true);            
				
				string savePdfPath = Path.Combine(savePath, outputPDF);
				wordDoc.Save(savePdfPath, options);    
            }
            catch (Aspose.Words.FileCorruptedException)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(string.Format("File '{0}' is corrupted.", Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(wordFile.FullName)));
                continue;
            }
            catch (Aspose.Words.IncorrectPasswordException)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(string.Format("File '{0}' is password protected.", Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(wordFile.FullName)));
                continue;
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {                    
                throw;
            }
        }
    }

}

Thank you for the feedback. Is it possible to explain me what is the cause of the empty PDF converted especially from the html?
Is it possible to have a workaround until we get the fix?

Please use the following code example to get the desired output. Hope this helps you.

LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions();
loadOptions.LoadFormat = LoadFormat.Html;
Aspose.Words.Document doc = new Aspose.Words.Document(MyDir + "Vs._Nr.  VN.mhtml", loadOptions);
if (doc.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph.ToString(SaveFormat.Text).Trim().StartsWith("From"))
    doc.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph.Remove();


PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();
options.Compliance = PdfCompliance.Pdf15;
options.JpegQuality = 90;
options.PageIndex = 0;
options.PageCount = doc.PageCount;
options.ZoomBehavior = PdfZoomBehavior.FitWidth;
options.CustomPropertiesExport = PdfCustomPropertiesExport.Standard;
doc.CustomDocumentProperties.Add("CV_TextLayerGood ", true);

doc.Save(MyDir + "19.10.pdf", options);
