Error when opening PDF file via Aspose.Pdf.Document(fileName)

I’m trying to open a template file to populate some fields before emailing the file to various recipients and I’m getting this error:

I’ve attached the PDF template file.

A search of the forums tell me that some Aspose products have had this issue, but fixes were dealt with via a later version. I’m currently running Aspose.PDF v7.7.0.0 which I think is the latest.

On a deadline, so promptness would be much appreciated.

Hi John,


Thanks for contacting support.

In order to test the scenario, I have downloaded the document and tried viewing it using Adobe Reader 7.0.8 and I am afraid I am getting an error message that file is damaged and cannot be viewed. The file size is 79KB. Can you please double check at your end and confirm that file was properly uploaded or, you are also getting the same error when trying to view the document in Adobe Reader.

We are sorry for this inconvenience.

Yes, the file was corrupt. I replaced it with a fresh copy and the code is working now. Sorry for the false alarm.
