Hi Team,
I get random error when I try to convert word file into HTML.

Error - A Generic error occurred in GDI+

Below Code I used

Aspose.Words.Saving.HtmlSaveOptions options = new Aspose.Words.Saving.HtmlSaveOptions(Aspose.Words.SaveFormat.Html);
options.ExportImagesAsBase64 = true;
options.ExportTextInputFormFieldAsText = true;
String htmLFilePath = _str + @"\" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + ".html";
doc1.Save(htmLFilePath, options);

The error “A Generic error occurred in GDI+” during the conversion of a Word file to HTML using Aspose.Words can often be related to issues with file paths, permissions, or the handling of images. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

  1. Check File Path: Ensure that the path where you are trying to save the HTML file is valid and accessible. The path should not contain any invalid characters and should point to a directory where your application has write permissions.

  2. Permissions: Make sure that your application has the necessary permissions to write to the specified directory. If you are running your application in a restricted environment, such as a web server, you may need to adjust the permissions.

  3. Image Handling: If your document contains images, ensure that the images are accessible and that the application has permission to read them. You can also try setting the ExportImagesAsBase64 option to true in your HtmlSaveOptions, which embeds images directly into the HTML as Base64 strings, potentially avoiding file access issues.

  4. Use a Temporary Directory: If the issue persists, try saving the HTML file to a temporary directory (like Path.GetTempPath()) to see if the problem is related to the original directory.

  5. Error Handling: Implement error handling in your code to catch exceptions and log detailed error messages. This can help you identify the exact cause of the issue.

Here is an example of how you might modify your code to include some of these suggestions:

Aspose.Words.Saving.HtmlSaveOptions options = new Aspose.Words.Saving.HtmlSaveOptions(Aspose.Words.SaveFormat.Html);
options.ExportImagesAsBase64 = true; // Embed images as Base64
options.ExportTextInputFormFieldAsText = true;

string htmLFilePath = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + ".html"); // Use a temporary path
try
{
    doc1.Save(htmLFilePath, options);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    // Log the exception message for debugging
    Console.WriteLine("Error saving document: " + ex.Message);
}

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the GDI+ error and successfully convert your Word document to HTML. If the problem continues, consider checking the Aspose documentation or forums for additional troubleshooting tips.
