StackOverflow error when converting word to pdf

I get StackOverflow exception when converting word document to pdf. I use Aspose.Words for .NET and I am able to reproduce the bug with version 24.4.0 and higher, even in most recent 26.6.0. Platform is irrelevant - the error persists on both on Linux and Windows.

Here’s the file:
conversionTest.docx (324,5 КБ)

Here’s error text:

Stack overflow.

Here’s code to reproduce:

private static byte[] ParseFileToPdfTest(Stream input)
{
    Aspose.Words.Document wordDocument = new Aspose.Words.Document(input);
    using MemoryStream output = new();
    wordDocument.Save(output, Aspose.Words.SaveFormat.Pdf);
    return output.ToArray();
}

The error is somehow linked to the comments in document. If I delete the comments before saving as pdf then saving is completed without errors. It is not an option though as I need to get pdf with all the content including comments.

Here’s code sample to delete comments:

private static void ClearAllDocumentComments(Document document)
{
    NodeCollection comments = document.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Comment, true);
    if (comments.Count > 0)
        comments.Clear();
}
