We have faced this issue regularly on our production servers, reports continiously getting failed and raised this exception. And after restarting the service report generation gets normal, we are suspecting that instance of Aspose.Word got corrupted and reports generation fails. We are using Aspose.Word version (9.0.0.0). Can you please asists what went wrong there.
Please find the Code snippets where exception occured.

public virtual void GetPrintedElement(string docFormat, ref MemoryStream elementDoc)
{
    try
    {
        // Check if reportDocument is null
        if (reportDocument != null)
        {
            // Check Elementdoc is Null
            if (elementDoc != null)
            {
                // Close and Dispose ElementDoc
                elementDoc.Close();
                elementDoc.Dispose();
            }
            // Create New ElementDoc
            elementDoc = new MemoryStream();
            // Update the page count before saving
            reportDocument.UpdatePageLayout();
            switch (docFormat.ToLower())
            {
                case "pdf":
                    reportDocument.SaveToPdf(0, reportDocument.PageCount, elementDoc, null);
                    break;
                case "word 2003":
                case "word 2000":
                    reportDocument.Save(elementDoc, SaveFormat.Doc);
                    break;
                default:
                    SaveFormat saveFormat = (SaveFormat) Enum.Parse(typeof(SaveFormat), docFormat, true);
                    reportDocument.Save(elementDoc, saveFormat);
                    break;
            }
        }
    }
    catch (Exception generalException)
    {
        throw new AppException(ExceptionConstants.ERROR_GET_PRINTED_ELEMENT, ExceptionSeverityType.Error, generalException);
    }
    finally
    {
        documentBuilder = null;
        reportDocument = null;
        docFormat = null;
    }
}
