Load error when using document pre-processed with SoftArtisans WordWriter

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

For reasons not to be elaborated here, we currently do the following:

* Load a .doc template with Aspose.Words 15.1.0.0

* Perform some pre-processing.

* Load the bytes (via a MemoryStream) into SoftArtisans WordWriter 9.1.2.161

* Perform some further processing.



All of this works OK.



But now we’d like to perform some final post-processing with Aspose.Words.

Then we get the following error when trying to load the bytes (once more via MemoryStream):

+ e {“An attempt was made to move the position before the beginning of the stream.”} System.Exception {System.IO.IOException}



I suspect that this is the result of SoftArtisans WordWriter doing some fishy things with the internal layout of the document.



I therefore did a simple test by loading a very simple template in SoftArtisans WordWriter, not doing anything in particular, and saving it to a new template.

Then loading this template into Aspose.Words, which was actually successful.



I’ve attached a sample console app that demonstrates both the simple and the full case.



Note: Obviously you’ll need to assign a license file to avoid getting the full template document truncated after load. But as this problem is more fundamental than that, it’s not needed.
