Red X in place of image

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

Hi support,

We’re having an issue with using the InsertHTML function in Aspose.Words.

It seems to happen for large images. We’re using an image size of 16Mb in order to see it happen consistently, but it happens for smaller images intermittently.

I’ve attached the Word and PDF outputs. Here is the code we are using:

using System;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using Aspose.Words;
	
namespace UnitTest {
	
	[TestClass]
	public class UnitTest2 {
	
		[TestMethod]
		public void TestAsposeWordImageInsertion() {
	
		    Document testdoc = new Document();
		    DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(testdoc);
	        string html = "<p><img src=\"http://lvmgt.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Test-41.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" /></p>";
		    builder.InsertHtml(html);
		    testdoc.Save("C:\\test\\Test.pdf", SaveFormat.Pdf);
		}
	}
}

Thanks.

@kasperlfc,

The issues you have found earlier (filed as WORDSNET-15338) have been fixed in this Aspose.Words for .NET 17.8 update and this Aspose.Words for Java 17.8 update.

Hi,

I’ve tried it out in the latest version (17.9) and the image appears to work when saving as Word, but the PDF version has not worked. There is no red X any longer, but the image is just not there.

I used my same test code as the original post with a nice image from NASA: https://goes.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/goes/080913.ike.poster.jpg

Andrew.

Turns out that it is the red X I’m still seeing, it was just too big for me to see it in the PDF.

Please see code below and results here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3-jNp1HrI1kZ3J1SDVXbDNVbjQ/view?usp=sharing

using System;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using Aspose.Words;

namespace UnitTestProject1
{
    [TestClass]
    public class UnitTest1
    {
        [TestMethod]

        [TestMethod]
        public void TestAsposeWordPdfImageInsertion()
        {
            Document testdoc = new Document();
            DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(testdoc);
            string html = "<img src=\"https://goes.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/goes/080913.ike.poster.jpg\" height=\"500\" width=\"500\" ></img>";
            builder.InsertHtml(html);
            testdoc.Save(@"C:\test\Test.pdf", SaveFormat.Pdf);
        }

        [TestMethod]
        public void TestAsposeWordImageInsertion()
        {
            Document testdoc = new Document();
            DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(testdoc);
            string html = "<img src=\"https://goes.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/goes/080913.ike.poster.jpg\" height=\"500\" width=\"500\" ></img>";
            builder.InsertHtml(html);
            testdoc.Save(@"C:\test\Test.docx");
        }

    }

@kasperlfc,

Thanks for your inquiry. You are using Aspose.Words for .NET 17.8. We suggest you please upgrade to the latest version of Aspose.Words for .NET 17.9. We have not found the shared issue while using latest version of Aspose.Words for .NET 17.9. Please check the attached output PDF in my previous post.

I have exactly the same result in 17.9. (I added a width and height to the HTML as well so I could see it on one page)

@kasperlfc,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please use the following configuration settings (HttpWebRequestElement.UseUnsafeHeaderParsing) in your application. Hope this helps you.

<configuration>
	<system.net>
		<settings>
			<httpWebRequest useUnsafeHeaderParsing ="true" />
		</settings>
	</system.net>
</configuration>

HttpWebRequestElement webRequestSettings = new HttpWebRequestElement();
webRequestSettings.UseUnsafeHeaderParsing = true;

Hi,

Thanks for your response. Simply moving it out of a unit test into a console application seemed to fix the issue. We’ll test it in our actual application, but fingers crossed this is now working!

Thanks,
Andrew.
