Flatten PDF document using Aspose.PDF for .NET - Flatten() throws object reference exception

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1
When using attached pdf in conjunction with any other pdf file(s), Flatten() throws object reference exception. Why can't Aspose.Pdf handle flattening of that particular pdf?

Please let us know if you can provide a fix for this issue.

For reference, we are using Aspose.Pdf version 10.8 and here is our source code.

var finalDoc = new Aspose.Pdf.Document();

foreach (var fileInfo in fileInfos)
{
var file = fileInfo.FullName;
if (isEmailSign)
{
if (File.Exists(file + ".unsecure"))
{
File.Delete(file);
File.Move(file + ".unsecure", file);
}
}
var tmpDoc = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(file);
finalDoc.Pages.Add(tmpDoc.Pages);
}

finalDoc.Flatten();
finalDoc.Save(outputFilename);
