Hi - my issue is similar to this one: images not rendering in linux
in that we have a docx file that we merge and then write to either pdf or docx. If we select word format images come through OK, if pdf then none are rendered ONLY ON LINUX - on windows dev rig this works as expected for both format options.

Fixed
If Aspose.Words for .NET Standard is intended to be used in Linux environment, an additional NuGet package should be referenced to make it work correctly with graphics: SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux for Ubuntu (it also should work on most Debian-based Linux distributions) or Goelze.SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.AlpineLinux for Alpine Linux.

It is nice to hear from you that you have solved your query.

Please note that .NET Standard 2.0 version of Aspose.Words uses SkiaSharp to deal with graphics. SkiaSharp is a cross-platform 2D graphics API for .NET platforms based on Google’s Skia Graphics Library. To make it work in Linux container, it is required to add Linux native Skia library. Add reference to SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux see NuGet Gallery | SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux 2.88.6
