Hi Erik,

Thanks for your query. Please use the latest version of Aspose.Words for .NET. If you still face problem, Please share your document for investigation purposes.

thnx for your reply.

The version I’m using is a download from yesterday so it is brand new.

The document for investigation was already attached in the opening post.

greetings

Thanks for your inquiry.

There is a sample project dedicate to this topic in the samples called CompressImages. Please try using that code and see if it works better. You can download the samples from here:
