Hi,


I get the error: “Unable to create an instance of the document. The format of the document is unsoported or the document is corrupted” when try to open in the viewer a .pptx file created in PowerPoint 2013 (in 2010 it doesn´t happend).

How can I solve that? Can you reproduce that?


Thank you.

If this document has confidential content, you can switch this forum thread to the private mode, so only you and GroupDocs staff will be able to see it.

Thanks and waiting for the document.

Hello Denis,


I send you an email with the example file (because in the forum I get the message “You do not have permission to upload or link to files. Please contact your system administrator.”)

Thanks and waiting for your response.

Thank you for the document, we’ve obtained and reviewed it. You are right, GroupDocs.Viewer cannot display it in neither image-based nor HTML-based mode. Document was sent to the developers, we will notify you when this issue will be fixed.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello,


Thank you for the request. Yes, this issue should be fixed in the Viewer 2.14.0. Please try to use this latest version of the Viewer (don’t forget to clean/rebuild your solution)
