Embedded document images not appearing after conversion. PPTX to PDF

Aspose.Slides Product Family

Basically when I have a powerpoint document with some embedded documents that are displayed as picture, after I convert to PDF the images disappear on the linux server but stay there when I convert on Windows.

Is there a simple fix for this?

import com.aspose.slides.FontsLoader;

public class PowerPointToPDF extends Convertor {

    public String convert(String input)
        throws Exception {
        //ExStart:ConvertingPresentationToPDFIncludingHiddenSlides
        Presentation pres = new Presentation(input);
        try {
            // Instantiate the PdfOptions class
            PdfOptions pdfOptions = new PdfOptions();
            // Load the fonts from custom folder
            FontsLoader.loadExternalFonts(new String[]{this.fonts});
            // Specify that the generated document should include hidden slides
            pdfOptions.setShowHiddenSlides(true);
            //pdfOptions.setSaveMetafilesAsPng(true);
            String out_fname = this.mktemppdf();
            // Save the presentation to PDF with specified options
            pres.save(out_fname, SaveFormat.Pdf, pdfOptions);
            return out_fname;

        } finally {
            pres.dispose();
        }

    }

This is not a Windows issue. This happens when my code is running on the Linux server. We want the Icons to stay there like they do when you convert using office. The disappear when converted on the linux server. We are using Redhat 7.
