NullReferenceException during PDF/A conversion

Aspose.PDF Product Family

Hi there,


we’re using Aspose.PDF to optimize resources from existing documents and convert them into the PDF/A standard. Currently we’re facing an issue that the library throws an NullReferenceException during the PDF/A conversion.

These are the steps we perform on the document:
  • Load
  • Optimize resources
  • PDF/A conversion
  • Persist
The optimization options are the following:

AllowReusePageContent = true,
CompressImages = false,
LinkDuplcateStreams = true,
RemoveUnusedObjects = true,
RemoveUnusedStreams = true,
UnembedFonts = false

If we deactivate the option “RemoveUnusedObjects”, the issue don’t occur.

Please find a sample project attached to this post to reproduce the problem.
Additionally i’ve attached the source document.

Could you provide us a solution for this issue?

Best regards.
