I am trying to convert a Word document to a PDF with GemBox.Document (version 33.0.1372), using the code below:
public string wordToPdf(string file, string encodedContent)
{
string fileExtension = Path.GetExtension(file).ToLower().Substring(1);
string inFileName = Path.GetTempPath() + Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + "." + fileExtension;
string outFileName = Path.GetTempPath() + Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + ".pdf";
byte[] fileContents = Convert.FromBase64String(encodedContent);
try
{
using (var fs = new FileStream(inFileName, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
{
fs.Write(fileContents, 0, fileContents.Length);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
File.Delete(inFileName);
return null;
}
**DocumentModel document = DocumentModel.Load(inFileName);** // EXCEPTION HERE
foreach (Table table in document.GetChildElements(true, ElementType.Table))
{
table.TableFormat.Positioning.ClearPositioning();
}
document.Save(outFileName);
}
On line
DocumentModel document = DocumentModel.Load(inFilename);
I get the following exception:
System.NullReferenceException
HResult=0x80004003
Message=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Source=GemBox.Document

What is the problem here?
