RuntimeException Is Thrown when Loading PPT File in Java

Hi,

I am writing to you about a problem we encountered in working with MSO PowerPoint document using the Aspose Slides for Java library (v21.10). Specifically, when we try to load a document an exception is thrown - java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate Presentation.
We reproduce this behavior on Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS and OpenJDK 11.

I am enclosing the zip file with test code, as well as the source PP file.

In the hope that together we will quickly overcome the problem!
Best regards!

Nenad

@zpredojevic,
Thank you for the issue description.

Unfortunately, I was unable to reproduce the error you described. But I faced NullPointerException. Could you please confirm if this exception is the cause of your RuntimeException?

When the code sample attached when creating the topic (text code.txt) is run, the RuntimeException is thrown with the following stack trace: 2785.png (77.8 KB)
