Exception: Parameter is not valid while generating thumbnails (C# .NET)

I am getting the following error for several slides in a ppt file when trying to generate thumbnails for the presentation :


Parameter is not valid.
: at System.Drawing.Graphics.set_Transform(Matrix value)
at Aspose.Slides.TextFrame.(Image img, Matrix lastTransform, ArrayList ancestors, ArrayList rotations, ˆ renderingContext)
at Aspose.Slides.Rectangle.(Image img, Matrix lastTransform, ArrayList ancestors, ArrayList rotations, ˆ renderingContext)
at Aspose.Slides.Slide.GetThumbnail(Size imageSize, Rectangle window, IDrawingControl drawingControl)
at Aspose.Slides.Slide.GetThumbnail(Double scaleX, Double scaleY)

My code is simply iterating through all of the slides in the presentation and attempting to generate thumbnails like so:

...
var presentation = new Presentation(presentationFilePath);
Slide slide = presentation.GetSlideByPosition(i);
Image thumb = slide.GetThumbnail(1, 1);

I have attached the file which isolates a single slide that reproduces this issue.

Hi, Aspose Team. I faced the same issue while i was trying to crop shape’s thumbnail to get shape’s position. As i need also to get portion position regular aspose methods like GetRectangle() doesn’t fit. I added sample project with a sample file to this message.
