Word2PDF conversion freezes on a mal-formatted .doc file

[Sergey Zubkov]

Hi there.

I'm using DocIO packages (version 14.3.0.52), trying to convert a bunch of files with a console application:

            using (var document = new WordDocument(sourcePath))

            {

                document.ChartToImageConverter = new ChartToImageConverter();

                document.ChartToImageConverter.ScalingMode = Syncfusion.OfficeChart.ScalingMode.Normal;

                

                using (var converter = new DocToPDFConverter())

                {

                    converter.Settings = new DocToPDFConverterSettings

                    {

                        PdfConformanceLevel = PdfConformanceLevel.Pdf_A1B

                    };

                    //Convert word document into PDF document

                    using (var pdfDoc = converter.ConvertToPDF(document))

                    {

                        pdfDoc.EnableMemoryOptimization = false;

                        pdfDoc.Save(dstPath);

                        pdfDoc.Close();

                    }

                }

                document.Close();

            }

There's a mal-formatted Word file, and when the application reaches the file and tries to convert it to PDF (var pdfDoc = converter.ConvertToPDF(document)), it freezes forever, even though MS Word itself opens the file and saves it to PDF just fine.

was this ever solved? I am running into the same issues with version 17.3.0.28.  I load a word doc and attempt to convert to a pdf, and it hangs indefinitely without ever throwing an exception or moving forward.  

using (var renderer = new DocIORenderer()) {

                    using (var stream = new MemoryStream(fileData)) {

                        using (var wordDoc = new WordDocument(stream, fileType)) {

                            using (var pdfDoc = renderer.ConvertToPDF(wordDoc)) {

                                var returnStream = new MemoryStream();

                                pdfDoc.Save(returnStream);

                                _openStreams.Add(returnStream);

                                pdfDoc.Close();

                                return returnStream;

                            }

                        }

                    }

                }
