Exception on loading PPT file (.NET Core)

#1

Please advise me.

Exception is thrown when I am going to read attached .ppt file hello.zip (26.2 KB)

with the Message “No data is available for encoding 1252. For information on defining a custom encoding, see the documentation for the Encoding.RegisterProvider method.”

.Net core 2.1/Aspose.Slides 19.5.0

using Aspose.Slides;
Presentation pres = new Presentation("hello.ppt");

FYI: This will not happen when you read any other pptx file ( or even WORD/EXCEL file using Aspose.Word/Aspose.Cells ) prior to very the line above in the same process.

I’d like to know why this happens.
And please let me know whether you sugget “to read a dummy safe pptx data at the beginning of the process earlier than any other file loading” as a workaround for this issue, or not.

@KDSSHO,

I have worked with source file shared by you using Aspose.Slides for .NET 19.7 and unable to observe any issue. Can you please try to use Aspose.Slides latest version on your end and share feedback with us if there is still an issue.

Would you try this sample app, build with Apose.Slide for .NET 19.7? ConsoleApp1.zip (97.9 KB)

In this project you will face the exception I reported.
If not, please kindly advise me which data/procedure I should share with you in order to reproduce the issue.
