Hi Charles,

Thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately, it is difficult to say what the problem is without the document and sample source code. We need this document and source code to reproduce the problem on our end.
It is safe to attach files in the forum. If you attach your document here, only you and Aspose staff members can download it. Also you can send the file to my e-mail as described here:
Best regards,

Hi,


We have the same problem, using Aspose.Words 15.6.0 for jdk16. For test cases you can try attached file. Тhe problem is endemic, please help.

Guys, I think you should point out OS, which this code is run on.
I have observed the similar issue, which is not reproduced when code is run on windows OS, but only on linux* OS.
Aspose.Words for Java 15.6.0 updateFields fails with NPE from WindowsNativeCall - Free Support Forum - aspose.com

Then, it seems like critical error that Aspose library depends on OS. Most of Java-based production decisions is running on *nix systems…

Well as I was told Java version of library is simply ported from .Net version. Everyone knows that shit happens… I was just trying to save you time, since from my experience the next question you would be asked from Support is your environment set up. + I was just looking through the recently reported issues to make sure I am not reporting something, that is already nailed in other topic.

I have same problem…working on linux…

Maybe it has something to do with this new feature introduced by 15.6.0 version:

-> Printer metrics are supported on the Windows platform.

Hope to receive solution soon ! And please tell the call center not to suggest the clients to use latest version on linux…

11

Thanks, we’ll wait and yet return to 15.5.0, because it doesn’t contain this issue.
