Hi Aspose,

Please help me check this DOC file. It’s an infected file containing virus, be careful.
sample.zip (33.6 KB)
Password to extract: ThisIsVirus

I tried to load it with the following code,

Document doc = new Document(inputFile);
doc.Save(outputFile, Aspose.Words.SaveFormat.Pdf);

but an exception was thrown

Unable to cast object of type ' ’ to type ' '.

Thank you,
Dung H. Nguyen
