Problems with Saving MSG to PDF

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

I have an email I am trying to convert to PDF. The process loads the file into an Aspose.Network.Mail.MailMessage, saves that message to a Stream then loads that stream with a format of MHtmlFromat into an Aspose.Words.Document.

When the stream is loaded it throws the following exception. I have also attached the file in question.
Not sure if this is a Words issue or a Network issue.

{Aspose.Words.FileCorruptedException: The document appears to be corrupted and cannot be loaded. —> System.ArgumentException: Parameter is not valid.

Hello,
Thank you for your request.
Could you please provide us your generated Mhtml file.

Unfortunately I was unable to reproduce your problem on my side.
I used the components:
Aspose.Network for. NET 6.4.0
Aspose.Words for. Net 9.8.0.0
Here’s the code:

var license = new License();
license.SetLicense("Aspose.Words.lic");
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
MailMessage msg = MailMessage.Load("X:\\ACL.msg", MessageFormat.Msg);
MemoryStream msgStream = new MemoryStream();
msg.Save(msgStream, MailMessageSaveType.MHtmlFromat);
msgStream.Position = 0;
Document msgDocument = new Document(msgStream);
msgDocument.Save("X:\\out.pdf", SaveFormat.Pdf);

I’ve attached a pdf file is generated.

Using those versions of the DLLs I am still having the same problem. Not sure if it matters, but I am running Win7 64 bit in test. I believe the customer is using 32 bit 2003 server. Attached is the mshtml output. My implementation is identical to what you have described above. The only thing I wasn’t doing was initializing the stream position to zero, but even after doing that it does not work.

Just for test, I took your code and pasted directly into a new project. Same failure.

Hi Brian,

I am a representative of Aspose.Email (Aspose.Network) product family. We are investigating a behavior of Aspose.Email for .NET component in connection with MSG to PDF conversion. We have noticed, when your provided sample message is saved as MHTML, the Content Type of the email attachment (a Pdf file) is set to “image/pdf” in the generated MHTML. Whereas it should be “application/pdf” according to IANA standards. Due to this behavior, Aspose.Words cannot process the MHTML further for conversion to PDF.

For investigation and correction purposes, we have logged a ticket (NETWORKNET-33207) in Aspose.Email tracking space. We will keep you posted with updates on this.

Regards,
