Exception converting HTM and MHT to PDF

Hello,

I am testing Aspose.HTML .NET 18.5.0 and converting the HTML files into PDF.

When trying to convert an HTM that I created using the Settings Cog -> File->Save As option in IE, I get the following exception.

Message: Exception thrown creating Aspose HTML Document for IE Save As PEERNET HOME.htm: System.InvalidOperationException: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.

When trying to convert an MHT that I created the same way, I get the following exception:

Message: Exception thrown creating Aspose HTML Document for IE PEERNET HOME.mht: System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type ‘Aspose.Html.Dom.Element’ to type ‘Aspose.Html.HTMLHtmlElement’.

This is my code:

// Create HtmlDocument instance while passing path of already created HTML file
using (Aspose.Html.HTMLDocument html_document = new Aspose.Html.HTMLDocument(FILE_PATH))
{
    _stopWatchSteps.Stop();
    TestContext.WriteLine("Time to Open: " + _stopWatchSteps.Elapsed.ToString());

    Aspose.Html.Rendering.Pdf.PdfRenderingOptions pdf_options = new Aspose.Html.Rendering.Pdf.PdfRenderingOptions();
    pdf_options.PageSetup.AdjustToWidestPage = true;

    // Instantiate PdfDevice object while passing PdfRenderingOptions and resultant file path as arguments
    using (Aspose.Html.Rendering.Pdf.PdfDevice pdf_device = new Aspose.Html.Rendering.Pdf.PdfDevice(pdf_options, OUTPUT_DIR + OUTPUT_NAME))
    {
        using (Aspose.Html.Rendering.HtmlRenderer renderer = new Aspose.Html.Rendering.HtmlRenderer())
        {
            // Render the output using HtmlRenderer
            renderer.Render(pdf_device, html_document);
        }
    }
}

Sample files: IE Save As PEERNET HOME.zip (1.6 MB)

Can these types of files be converted to PDF?

Thanks,

Sheri
