I’m trying to load a PDF document using GemBox.Pdf and the Load method like this:

var pdf = PdfDocument.Load(@“C:\Temp\test.pdf”);

The problem is that I get an exception saying “Invalid character ‘R’ was read at index 0 in keyword “obj”. I can open the PDF document without any errors using my browser, Adobe Acrobat or FoxIt Reader.

Is it a bug somewhere or is GemBox.Pdf very strict compared to regular PDF readers?

Thank you

Are there any good slide show makers ?

It’s super laggy, and it keeps on doing it. I stopped using those tools a while ago since they were impossible to use. In my daily life, I have to convert many documents into pdf, and I need to have an excellent converting tool. That’s why I started to search for another one, and eventually, I was able to find and amazing converting tool on https://pdfchef.com/. It worked perfectly and made my life less complicated.
