Hi,

I’m trying to convert a docx file to html using:

Document doc = new Document("C:\ConvertMeToHTML.docx");
doc.save("C:\HTML.html");

And this error showed up:

java.lang.NullPointerException

But when I converted the docx document to doc first before converting to HTML, everything went well. So upon trial-and-error, I found out that the watermark WITH header/footer was causing the error. Here are the test scenarios used (DocX to HTML):

  1. DocX file with watermark - Successfully converted to HTML
  2. DocX file with header/footer - Successfully converted to HTML
  3. DocX file with header/footer and watermark - Error encountered
  4. Used DocX on item 3 and removed header/footer manually, left watermark - Error encountered

Attached is the document used for this test.

Would appreciate if you could advise us asap.

Thanks Aspose Team.

By the way, I’m using Aspose.Words 10.0.0 for Java.
