NullReferenceException during saving of Presentation

Aspose.Slides Product Family

Hello.
I have this very simple piece of code:

const string file = @“2015+Training+Introduction2_source.pptx”;
var presentation = new Presentation(file);
foreach (var slide in presentation.Slides)
{
foreach (var textFrame in SlideUtil.GetAllTextBoxes(slide))
{
// textFrame.TextFrameFormat.AutofitType = TextAutofitType.None;

foreach (var paragraph in textFrame.Paragraphs)
{
paragraph.Text = paragraph.Text;
}
}
}

presentation.Save(“temp.pptx”, SaveFormat.Pptx);

The last line throws NullReferenceException with the following stack:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an obj
ect.

This error occures only when processing one specific document (see attachments). Other documents I’ve tried do not seem to cause this issue.

I’ve found a workaround for this issue: if you uncomment a line where TextFrameFormat.AutofitType is set to None, Presentation.Save will not throw.

Could you please have a look at this problem and solve it?

I’m using Aspose slides 14.6.0.0 for .NET

P.S. Further investigation shows that slide 39 causes a problem. You can do this:
foreach (var slide in presentation.Slides.Skip(38).Take(1))
and still cause a NRE. Other slides in this document do not seem to cause NRE.

Hi Artem,

Thanks for your interest in Aspose.Slides.

I have worked with the presentation file shared by you and have tried sample code shared by you using Aspose.Slides for .NET 14.8.1 on my end. I have encountered no issue on my end. Can you please try using the specified version on your end and share with us if there is still an issue.

Many Thanks,
