seuzc2011 · January 6, 2019, 9:40am

When I use Aspose.Total for .NET convert ppt/excel to png or html,I meet some problems, the word is good. As follows:

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Gdip' threw an exception. ---> System.EntryPointNotFoundException: Unable to find an entry point named 'GdiplusStartup' in DLL 'libgdiplus'.

But the project is good in Windows, the error occurs in Linux Docker.

And there is another problem, When I convert pdf to png or html, I meet some problems. As follows:

I found that the API scan the folder ‘/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts’, but the folder is not exist in docker, and I do not have permissions to create. I add the two code ,but it doesn’t work, because the function Clear() also scans the folder:

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts

Aspose.Pdf.Text.FontRepository.Sources.Clear();
Aspose.Pdf.Text.FontRepository.Sources.Add(new FolderFontSource(@"/opt/app-root/src/"));

@seuzc2011,

Thanks for your query.

You may please try following steps to resolve this issue for Aspose.Cells and provide your feedback.

You may install “System.Drawing.Common” and “System.Text.Encoding.CodePages” for .NetStandard20 from NuGet if you refer Aspose.Cells lib manually. Or you can get Aspose.Cells from NuGet, these will be installed automatically.
If it does not resolve the issue, try the following steps:

Install .NetCore SDK
Install libgdiplus
Copy the font files you need and call FontConfigs.SetFontFolder, please see this article i.e. Configuring Fonts for Rendering Spreadsheets
The installation command to install libgdiplus is as follows

sudo apt-get install libgdiplus
ln -s libgdiplus.so gdiplus.dll

Try the following command as well:

apt-get install libc6-dev

seuzc2011 · January 7, 2019, 3:44am

Hello,my nuget is follow:

<PackageReference Include="Aspose.Words" Version="18.8.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Aspose.Pdf" Version="18.8.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Aspose.Cells" Version="18.8.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Aspose.Slides.Net" Version="18.8.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.App" />

My first question is :
when I convert pdf to png or html, there is one problem.

Is there another way to avoid scaning the default folder ‘/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts’

@seuzc2011

Would you please share the code snippet you are using for conversion of PDF to PNG format which results in mentioned exception, so that we my investigate further to help you out. Please also ensure using Aspose.PDF for .NET 19.1 before sharing your feedback.

seuzc2011 · January 8, 2019, 5:15am

I have tried the last version 19.1.0,and has the same error.
the code is correct in Windows,but it has error in Docker.This is my code,which converts document to html.
public void ToHtml(IFormFile file)
{
if (fileType == “.ppt” || fileType == “.pptx”)
{
using (var stream = file.OpenReadStream())
{
Aspose.Slides.Presentation ppt = new Aspose.Slides.Presentation(stream);
ppt.Save(“ppt.html”, Aspose.Slides.Export.SaveFormat.Html);
}
}
else if (fileType == “.pdf”)
{
using (var stream = file.OpenReadStream())
{
Aspose.Pdf.Document pdf = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(stream);
pdf.Save(“pdf.html”, Aspose.Pdf.SaveFormat.Html);
}
}
else if (fileType == “.xls” || fileType == “.xlsx”)
{
using (var stream = file.OpenReadStream())
{
Aspose.Cells.Workbook book = new Aspose.Cells.Workbook(stream);
book.Save(“cell.html”, Aspose.Cells.SaveFormat.Html);
}
}
else
{
System.Console.Writeln(“other”);
}
}

@cmbch

Thank you for getting back to us.

We have recorded your feedback and will let you know as soon as any update is available in this regard.

zodraz · January 23, 2020, 8:39am

Hi,
I am having the same problem. Updating libgdiplus does not solve the problem as a workaround. Any updates or ETA on this?

Thanks

asad.ali · January 23, 2020, 3:28pm

@zodraz

We regret to share that the issue is not yet resolved due to other priority issue. We have recorded your concerns and will surely consider them during issue investigation. We will inform you as soon as issue is resolved. Please spare us little time.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

ahsaniqbalsidiqui · January 23, 2020, 4:15pm

@zodraz,
libgdiplus is required by Aspose.Cells while running on docker container. You may please follow the steps below as I have tried this scenario on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (Bionic Beaver), in a docker container and it works fine. Please perform these steps for Aspose.PDF also and share the feedback.

Here are my steps:

The docker I use is: microsoft/dotnet, install it first:
sudo docker pull microsoft/dotnet
Then I install libgdiplus:

apt-get update
apt-get install -y libgdiplus
cd /usr/lib && ln -s libgdiplus.so gdiplus.dll

And install libc6-dev:

apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends libc6-dev
