NullReferenceException when resize and concatenate documents

HI

I try to resize multiple documents and concatenate them together, but I get a NullReferenceException for one document.

sample documents:
https://www.netzausbau.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/DE/Vorhaben/BBPlG/03/Untersuchungsrahmen3A.pdf?__blob=publicationFile

https://www.netzausbau.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/DE/Publikationen/PCI-Verfahrenshandbuch.pdf;?__blob=publicationFile

sample code:

      var inFileA = "TestFiles\\PCI-Verfahrenshandbuch.pdf";
      var inFileB = "TestFiles\\Untersuchungsrahmen3A.pdf";
      var outFile = "TestFiles\\Test.pdf";

      var pdfFileEditor = new PdfFileEditor
      {
        AllowConcatenateExceptions = true,
        CopyLogicalStructure = true,
        CopyOutlines = true,
        KeepFieldsUnique = true,
        MergeDuplicateOutlines = true,
        OptimizeSize = false,
        IncrementalUpdates = true
      };

      using (var stream1 = File.Open(inFileA, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read))
      {
        using (var stream2 = File.Open(inFileA, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read))
        {
          using (var outStream = File.Open(outFile, FileMode.Create))
          {
            var doc1 = new Document(stream1);
            ResizePdf(doc1, global::Aspose.Pdf.PageSize.A4);

            var doc2 = new Document(stream2);
            ResizePdf(doc2, global::Aspose.Pdf.PageSize.A4);

            var outDoc = new Document();
            pdfFileEditor.Concatenate(new[] { doc1 }, outDoc);
            pdfFileEditor.Concatenate(new[] { doc2 }, outDoc); // Exception
            outDoc.Save(outStream);
          }
        }
      }

private void ResizePdf(Document doc, global::Aspose.Pdf.PageSize pageSize)
    {
      using (var pageEditor = new PdfPageEditor())
      {
        pageEditor.BindPdf(doc);

        var pageCount = pageEditor.GetPages();

        for (var i = 1; i <= pageCount; i++)
        {
          pageEditor.ProcessPages = new[] { i };
          var sourcePageSize = pageEditor.GetPageSize(i);
          var sourceRotation = pageEditor.GetPageRotation(i);

          if (sourceRotation == 90 || sourceRotation == 270)
            pageEditor.PageSize = new global::Aspose.Pdf.PageSize(pageSize.Height, pageSize.Width);
          else
            pageEditor.PageSize = new global::Aspose.Pdf.PageSize(pageSize.Width, pageSize.Height);

          pageEditor.VerticalAlignmentType = VerticalAlignment.Center;
          pageEditor.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;

          float zoom;
          if (pageEditor.Rotation == 0)
            zoom = Math.Min(pageEditor.PageSize.Width / sourcePageSize.Width, pageEditor.PageSize.Height / sourcePageSize.Height);
          else
            zoom = Math.Min(pageEditor.PageSize.Width / sourcePageSize.Height, pageEditor.PageSize.Height / sourcePageSize.Width);

          pageEditor.Zoom = zoom;
          pageEditor.ApplyChanges();
        }


        pageEditor.BindPdf((Document)null);
      }
    }

Thank you for contacting support.

We have been able to notice the exception. However, it can be avoided by using below code in your environment.

...
var outDoc = new Document();
outDoc.Pages.Add(doc1.Pages);
outDoc.Pages.Add(doc2.Pages);
outDoc.Save(outStream);
...

We hope this will be helpful. Please feel free to contact us if you need any further assistance.

Thank you for your anwser @Farhan.Raza!

Sure I can use your code, but then I have to copy/merge outlines, fields, etc. by myself. Therefore I prever to use PdfFileEditor instead, which provide those features.

The mentioned exception looks like a bug. Will it be fixed?
best regard
Alex
