File corrupted error

Aspose.Words Product Family
#1

When loading a DOC file, I am getting a corruption exception. The inner exception seems to indicate an Aspose issue where duplicate dictionary keys are not handled correctly. Could you please fix this?

Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: ‘display_urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office#Editor’ Key being added: ‘display_urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office#Editor’

Here is the stack trace:

@steve.debusschere,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please ZIP and attach your input Word document here for testing. We will investigate the issue on our side and provide you more information.

I’m working on getting you a test file.

One of our customers reported this issue. They sent the file which caused the exception to occur, but it works just fine when I test it. The file was stored in SharePoint so there may have been additional custom properties added to the file by SharePoint.

It seems clear to me from the stack trace that a duplicate property was encountered. Can you revise the Aspose code to better handle this condition so the entire file is not considered corrupt?

@steve.debusschere,

Thanks for your inquiry. We have added a feature request as WORDSNET-15756 in our issue tracking system to add warning message instead of exception while adding duplicate custom property into document. We will inform you via this forum thread once this feature is available. We apologize for your inconvenience.

Can you give me some kind of estimate when Aspose is planning to work on a fix for this? We have several customers that are impacted by this problem. Thanks!
