Invalid SaveFormat Error doing basic Doc -> PDF conversion

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

I’m evaluating Aspos Words to do document conversion from Word to PDF.

My code is very simple, but every document I get an error, System.ArgumentException: An invalid SaveFormat for this options type was chosen.

public virtual byte[] Convert(byte[] document)
{
    using (Stream stream = new MemoryStream(document))
    {
        byte[] pdfDocument;
        Aspose.Words.Document asposeDocument= new Aspose.Words.Document(stream);
        // For Debugging
        foreach (DocumentProperty prop in asposeDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties)
        {
            _logger.DebugFormat("{0} - {1}", prop.Name, prop.Value);
        }
        DocSaveOptions _options = new DocSaveOptions();
        _options.SaveFormat = SaveFormat.Pdf;
        using (Stream outputStream = new MemoryStream())
        {
            asposeDocument.Save(outputStream, _options);// SaveFormat.Pdf);
            outputStream.Position = 0;
            int streamLength = (int)outputStream.Length;
            pdfDocument = new byte[streamLength];
            int bytesRead = outputStream.Read(pdfDocument, 0, streamLength);
            return pdfDocument;
        }
    }
}

I’ve read the document section (https://docs.aspose.com/words/net/convert-a-document-to-pdf/), but it only covers saving to disk, rather than converting in memory.

The error seems strange - why is the save format invalid? What am I doing wrong?
