Null error on doc.save

Aspose.PDF Product Family

Hello,

Using the second code snippet labeled "Save output HTML to a single stream with embedded resources" from here PDF to HTML - Save Output to a Stream Object we seam to get a null reference error.
doc.pdfaFormat: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
StackTrace:" at Aspose.Pdf.Document.get_PdfaFormat()"

The only thing we changed was pointing the new doc to a valid pdf.
We am currently using a temporary licence with version 11.5.0.0 of Aspose.pdf

Is there anything else that needs to be implements to fix this issue?


Thanks,
Mike Oliver

Hi Mike,


Thanks for your inquiry. I have tested the scenario again using Aspose.Pdf for .NET 11.6.0 and unable to notice the reported exception. Please note you have to consider only one thing while saving a single PDF from HTML to stream, need to pass a non-existing path and html file name to Document.Save() method. Please find the sample code. If the issue persist then please share a sample console project here, so we will look into it and will guide you accordingly.

public static void temp()<o:p></o:p>

{

Document doc = new Document(@"test.pdf");

// tune conversion params

HtmlSaveOptions newOptions = new HtmlSaveOptions();

newOptions.RasterImagesSavingMode = HtmlSaveOptions.RasterImagesSavingModes.AsEmbeddedPartsOfPngPageBackground;

newOptions.FontSavingMode = HtmlSaveOptions.FontSavingModes.SaveInAllFormats;

newOptions.PartsEmbeddingMode = HtmlSaveOptions.PartsEmbeddingModes.EmbedAllIntoHtml;

newOptions.LettersPositioningMethod = HtmlSaveOptions.LettersPositioningMethods.UseEmUnitsAndCompensationOfRoundingErrorsInCss;

newOptions.SplitIntoPages = false;// force write HTMLs of all pages into one output document

newOptions.CustomHtmlSavingStrategy = new HtmlSaveOptions.HtmlPageMarkupSavingStrategy(SavingToStream);

//we can use some non-existing path and result file name - all real saving will be done

//in our custom method SavingToStream() (it's follows this one)

string outHtmlFile = @"Z:\SomeNonExistingFolder\SomeUnexistingFile.html";

doc.Save(outHtmlFile, newOptions);

}

private static void SavingToStream(HtmlSaveOptions.HtmlPageMarkupSavingInfo htmlSavingInfo)

{

byte[] resultHtmlAsBytes = new byte[htmlSavingInfo.ContentStream.Length];

htmlSavingInfo.ContentStream.Read(resultHtmlAsBytes, 0, resultHtmlAsBytes.Length);

// here You can use any writable stream, file stream is taken just as example

string fileName =@"stream_out.html";

Stream outStream = File.OpenWrite(fileName);

outStream.Write(resultHtmlAsBytes, 0, resultHtmlAsBytes.Length);

}


Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.

I have gotten it to work with some files. Still seam to get the error with the attached files and a lot of other similar files.

Is there something I can do to check the format or is there a different way I need to convert these files?
