Insert Icon .ico File with Multiple BMP & PNG Images of Different Sizes in Word Document using C# .NET

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hello,

We are experiencing problems when inserting icon files (.ico) as image since we’ve upgraded our Aspose Words .NET version (16.1.0.0) to version 20.7.0.0.

The version we were originally using generated the largest possible image from the icon file. The new version generates the smallest image. Any idea’s?

Thanks.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.InsertImage(“pf-logo-red.ico”);

doc.Save("…");

We have noticed that the problem only occurs if the icon is directly used by the document builder, via
builder.InsertImage(“pf-logo-red.ico”);
or
builder.InsertImage(memorystream); //memorystream contains 'pf-logo-red.ico'

we’re using a workaround that fixes the issue:
builder.InsertImage(Image.FromFile(“pf-logo-red.ico”));
or
builder.InsertImage(Image.FromStream(memorystream)); //memorystream contains 'pf-logo-red.ico'.
