Specified method not supported

Question

Within my Xamarin android app when using DocIO to read a file I get the error System.NotSupportedException: Specified method is not supported.
using Syncfusion.Compression.portable Syncfusion.DocIO.Portable

code used

WordDocument doc = new WordDocument();
doc.Open(inputStream, FormatType.Doc);//this is where the error occurs

I have tried many documents including syncfusion's own docs including the WordtoHTML.doc
the code works perfectly in the uwp and ios versions of the app.
Any insight in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

I've solved the issue. I was using the wrong stream type I did not realize I needed to use a memorystream. to solve this I converted the streams I was receiving into MemoryStream.
