Object reference not found when trying to insert a svg file

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

I am using Aspose.Words and Aspose.Imaging (version 23.10.0) to insert a svg file in the word document which throws the below error. I am downloading this svg file from Signavio. I can open this file in a web page but cannot insert it in the document using Aspose.

System.NullReferenceException: ‘Object reference not set to an instance of an object.’

I am able to insert svg files that I download from the web successfully without any issues.

What could potentially be the difference between svg file from Signavio and the svg files that are available on the web?
What are the ways to get around this limitation?

@slahabar Could you please zip and attach the problematic SVG here for testing? We will check the issue and provide you more information.

SVG.zip (17.0 KB)

Here is the code I am using:

string dir_url = base_url + $"/p/model/{modelId}/svg";
var response = await httpClient.GetAsync(dir_url);
var result = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
builder.InsertImage(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(result));

Alternatively, I tried to save it as a file on disk and then reference the file, the image in word document gets distorted.
