Hi,
When I merge pdf files using firstpdf.Pages.Add(secondpdf.Pages) I get this error:
can not read the file or assembly Aspose.Font, Version = 17.1.0.0, Culture = neutral, PublicKeyToken = 716fcc553a201e56 or one of its dependencies. The system can not find the specified file.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Per,
Hi,
Let me give you some more information.
The problem happens in a web application (ASP.NET).
I convert Word and Excel files to PDF using Aspose.Words and Aspose.Cells, and then I merge them with Aspose.Pdf
But now I tried the same code but in an console application with no errors.
Attached is the PDF files and this is the method that merges the files.
private void MergeDocuments()
{
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles( outputDir );
int i = 0;
Aspose.Pdf.Document pdf = new Aspose.Pdf.Document( files[ 0 ] );
foreach ( string file in files )
{
if ( i == 0 )
{
i++;
continue;
}
Aspose.Pdf.Document addPdf = new Aspose.Pdf.Document( file );
try
{
LoggerUtility.WriteInfo(“”, “”, “Adding " + addPdf.Pages.Count.ToString() + " pages”);
pdf.Pages.Add( addPdf.Pages );
LoggerUtility.WriteInfo(“”, “”, “Adding " + file);
}
catch ( Exception ex )
{
LoggerUtility.WriteError(“Pages.Add”, “”, ex, LoggerUtility.LogType.Error);
}
}
LoggerUtility.WriteInfo(”", “”, "Pages: " + pdf.Pages.Count.ToString());
pdf.Save( Path.Combine( outputDir, “KMA Pärm.pdf” ) );
}
Hi Per,
Thanks for sharing details and input file(s). I used your code and input file(s) in web application (ASP.NET) but I am sorry I was unable to get any exception. It generated the output file without throwing any exception. You may check the following code snippet which I used and attached output file.
private void MergeDocuments()
{
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(Server.MapPath("Data/Test/"));
int i = 0;
Aspose.Pdf.Document pdf = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(files[0]);
foreach (string file in files)
{
if (i == 0)
{
i++;
continue;
}
Aspose.Pdf.Document addPdf = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(file);
pdf.Pages.Add(addPdf.Pages);
}
pdf.Save(Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("Data/Test/"), "KMA Pärm.pdf"));
}
Moreover, please make sure that you are using valid license and double check that all necessary dll(s) are present in the bin folder of the web application. In case if you still face issue please share details with us i.e OS Version you are running application on, Target Framework of the Application.
Best Regards,
Hi again,
Thanks for investigating this.
I have a valid license, bought it a week ago.
All dlls are present in bin folder.
OS in my dev. environment is Windows 7 64 bit.
Application is targeting .Net framework 3.5, and I have tested to use both Aspose.Pdf 2.0 and 3.5 with the same error.
Best regards,

Hi Per,
Good to hear that you could replicate the issue.
Looking forward to hear from you as I have a deadline approaching.

Hi Per,
Hi,
Sorry if I nag, but do you have any information regarding the issue PDFNET-42202?
If not, I need to know so I can look for another solution that works.

Hi Per,
Hi,
Thanks for your reply, but I’m still having the same error.
I have downloaded version 17.2.00 and target framework is 3.5.

Hi Per,
Hi,
Yes, I have tested with the files that I shared earlier in this thread.
Strange that I still have the same error when you successfully merged the files now after having the same error before.
And as you can see in the error message I have version 17.2.0.0 now.
Could not load file or assembly ‘Aspose.Font, Version=17.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=716fcc553a201e56’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I will be working the weekend to see if I can find out why it throws the error, but I don’t know what I can try that I haven’t already tested. If you have any suggestions on what I can try, please do, because I was running out of ideas and time is running out for me.

Hi Per,
Hi,
It’s hard for me to share more code than I already did as the web application is a major project management system with connections between several other systems.
As you does not appear to be able to solve my problem, I have to solve it in another way. Either by creating a Windows Service to make the merging or buy another solution.
Seems like I should have evaluated it more before buying our Aspose.Total license.

Hi Per,
Hi,
Thanks for sharing your code that works in your environment.
But I’m sorry to inform you that I get the same error when using your web application.
I added my license file to the Data folder and run your code, but it throws the same error on row 38 where you call pdf.Pages.Add(addPdf.Pages)

Hi Per,
Hi Per,
Hi,
I have seen that I’m not the only one with the same error, see PDFNET-42288.
I have tested on Win 7 Enterprise SP1 64-bit and Win Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1 64-bit.
IIS 7 on both machines.
We are also running SharePoint 2010 sites on the machines, can that cause the issue?
// Edit
Now I tested on a Win 2008 R2 machine that doesn’t have SharePoint installed, and on that machine it works.
