Dimensions are too large when converting pdf to pdfa1a

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

I have an 18 page pdf document which I am attempting to convert to pdf-a using the following code.

try (final Document pdfDocument = new Document(inputFile.getAbsolutePath())) {
    pdfDocument.convert(xmlPath + "/log.xml", PdfFormat.PDF_A_1A, ConvertErrorAction.Delete);
    pdfDocument.save(outputFile.getAbsolutePath());
}

However, the conversion fails with a dimensions are too large message.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Dimensions (width=515157446 height=514851337) are too large

I am assuming that this is not caused by a large filesize or too many pages. How do I correct this? (in code, not by changing the pdf)

Some details about the pdf taken from adobe reader. I cannot share the pdf itself.
