Error When Converting HTML to PDF: StartIndex cannot be less than zero

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hello:

I’m using Aspose PDF.Net for rendering my HTML into PDF format. For 99% of all clients, this is working 100% correctly.

However, for one file, I am receiving the following error listed below.

I realize it is probably due to invalid characters in my HTML, but how can I figure out what they are to remove them? The HTML string is quite long and I can’t see anything obvious.

I’m using version 5.1.0.0.

Thanks,
Mark Raasch
