HTML to Docx error on tables

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi

I was trying to convert a HTML file to docx with Aspose.Words 22.5, and I received the next error

Aspose.Words.FileCorruptedException -> The document appears to be corrupted and cannot be loaded.
    inner exception -> Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
        at  ​ .(Paragraph ,     , Boolean )
        at  ​ .(Table )
        at    . ( ​  )
        at    .( ​  , Boolean ,     )
        at    . ( ​  , Boolean )
        at    .( ​  , Boolean )
        at    .(Stream , Encoding , DocumentBuilder )
        at  ​ .     ()
        at Aspose.Words.Document.(Stream , LoadOptions )

After did some test, I found that the issues is on a consecutive tables with next structure (the second one is on a <div></div>)

<body style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">
    <div>
        <table>
            <tr>
                <td>a</td>
            </tr>
        </table>
        <div>
            <table>
                <tr>
                    <td>b</td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>

I tested the next scenarios:

  • If i remove the internal div (body/div/div). It works
  • If i remove the content on the second table, It works
  • If I separate the tables with an empty div, <div></div>, I works
  • If i separate the tables with an empty paragraph (<span>&#xa0;</span>), It works

Thanks,
Lisandro

@Lisandro.Ronconi Thank you for additional information. I have managed to reproduce the problem on my side and logged it as WORDSNET-24029. We will keep you informed and let you know once it is resolved.
The problem is caused by the following option set in your code:

htmlLoadOptions.BlockImportMode = BlockImportMode.Preserve;

@alexey.noskov Thanks for your response
Yes, we can not remove this line because we want to preserve the DIVs on the documents
