It seems you are experiencing an issue with the UpdatePageLayout method in Aspose.Words for .NET, where it appears to run indefinitely when called on your document.

The UpdatePageLayout method is designed to rebuild the page layout of a document and update page-related fields. This method is typically called automatically when you convert a document to formats like PDF or XPS for the first time. However, if you modify the document after it has been rendered, you need to call UpdatePageLayout manually to ensure that the layout is updated correctly.

Here are a few suggestions to troubleshoot the issue:

  1. Check Document Modifications: Ensure that the modifications you are making to the document before calling UpdatePageLayout are not causing any infinite loops or excessive processing. For example, if you are changing styles or page setups, ensure these changes are valid.

  2. Simplify the Document: If possible, try simplifying the document to see if a specific element is causing the issue. You can do this by removing complex elements or reducing the content size and checking if the method still hangs.

  3. Update to the Latest Version: Ensure you are using the latest version of Aspose.Words, as updates may contain bug fixes and performance improvements that could resolve the issue.

  4. Test with a Different Document: Try using a different document to see if the problem persists. This can help determine if the issue is document-specific.

  5. Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, consider stepping through the code to see where it might be getting stuck.

If the problem continues, you may want to reach out to Aspose support with details about your document and the modifications you are making. They may be able to provide more specific guidance based on the content of your document.

@stephane.moinard The problem is not reproducible on my side using the latest 25.6 version of Aspose.Words. Please try using the latest version and let us know if the problem still persists on your side.
