The relevant code looks like this:

Aspose.Words.License wlic = new Aspose.Words.License();
wlic.SetLicense(@Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "Aspose.Total.lic"));
Aspose.Words.Document wDoc = new Aspose.Words.Document(sourceFile.FullName);
wDoc.Save(xmlFile.FullName, SaveFormat.FormatAsposePdf); // EXCEPTION THROWN HERE

A sample “problem” document is attached.

The problem is caused by the ‘recycling’ image. It is a complex image composed from several objects. Aspose.Words sometimes has trouble handling such images. I have converted it to a bitmap and attached the corrected file.

Thanks for the info, Validimir. Are there any plans to fix this issue? We have hundreds of documents like this to process…

Support of composite images is a complex feature and I am afraid that it won’t be added soon. Just avoid using such images in your templates and substitute them with the bitmaps by taking a screenshot, cutting and saving in any photo editor. Sorry, no other workaround at the moment.
