Issues with Aspose.PDF version 24.3.0

There is a problem when it tries to read from the the property Layers.
This is the code snippet:

Aspose.Pdf.Document document = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(filePath);
foreach (Page page in document.Pages)
{
List<Aspose.Pdf.Layer> layers = page.Layers;
if (layers != null && layers.Count > 0)
{
errors.Add(ValidationMessage.Keys.DocumentationInfoModelKeys.PDF_CONTAINS_LAYERS);
break;
}
}
document.Dispose();

Is it happening with all kind of PDF files that you are processing? Can you please share one sample file with the code sample that is causing this exception? We will test the scenario in our environment and address it accordingly.

Hi,
It throws an error with several PDF files that have multiple pages.
I’ve already shared a PDF sample and the code snippet yesterday.

It’s failing in this line:
List<Aspose.Pdf.Layer> layers = page.Layers;

I’m sharing again a couple of PDF samples to troubleshoot.
