Hi Aravind,


Thank you for contacting Aspose support.

I have used your code to convert MPP to PDF using Aspose.Tasks for .NET 6.9.0 and observed that the resultant PDF file (size 402 KB) can be opened successfully and no exception is raised. Could you please try it again using latest version and let us know your feedback?

Hi Aravind,

I have tested this issue with the latest version of Aspose.Tasks for .NET 6.9.0 and could not face the problem as you have mentioned. The generated PDF file, attached herewith, can be opened fine in Adobe PDF. I have Adobe Reader X installed at my end. Could you please update your Adobe Reader (in case it is an old version) and let us know your feedback?

Hi Aravind,


I have tested your code and it is working fine without any error. The output PDF file generated here, is viewed in PDF XChange Viewer and am afraid to share that no exception or issue is observed as mentioned by you. However if I open your PDF file, it causes the exception in PDF XChange Viewer.

It seems some environment specific issue as your code is working fine here and output PDF file can be opened successfully in latest PDFXChange Viewer and Adobe PDF reader.

Could you please test the same scenario using some other machine with latest version Aspose.Tasks for .NET 6.9.0 and above mentioned PDF XChange Viewer?

P.S. I have used Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2013, Windows 7, VB .NET, latest version of Aspose.Tasks, latest version of PDF XChange Viewer and Adobe Reader XI for testing.

Hi Aravind,


I tried both your files “b4ubuild_sample_07.pdf” and “13Aug2014102728.pdf” and got the error as shown in the linked images, however if I use “b4ubuild_sample_07.mpp” file and convert it to PDF, everything works fine and opens successfully.

Here I am attaching a simple project which converts the MPP file to PDF which can be opened in PDF XChange Viewer successfully. Please give it a try and let us know your feedback and also try it using valid licence if any.

If problem is still not resolved, please send us a complete project which can be used here to re-produce the issue. I am afraid that without re-producing the issue here, I may not be able to assist you in this regard therefore please assist us to re-produce the faulty PDF here.

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.
