NullReferenceException in PdfContentEditor.ExtractLink

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

I’m having a problem with the PdfContentEditor.ExtractLink method. I’m using Aspose.Pdf.Kit.dll version 3.2.0.0 under .NET 2.0.
We have found several PDF files that cause the method to throw a NullReferenceException. One of these PDF files is attached.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Thank you for considering Aspose.

I find the attached PDF file is secured. You need to decrypt the file before extracting links. Please refer to Decrypt PDF Document.

Thanks,

Thank you for your response.

I tried decrypting the file first, but still get the same exception when I call ExtractLink.

A decrypted version of the same PDF file is attached.

Thanks.

Hi,

I have reproduced this error and logged it as PDFKITNET-6278. We will try to fix it ASAP.

Thank you for looking into the problem.

We have found some other PDF files that cause ExtractLink to throw another exception.

Both of the attached files cause ExtractLink to throw an IOException. One has the message “Unexpected type”, and the other “Unexpected character”.

Is there any estimate for when we can expect a fix for this?
Have you been able to reproduce the 2 other errors mentioned in my last post?
Thanks.
