Excel file causing ViewerHtmlHandler.GetPages Method to throw exception

I have the following code:
byte[] attachmentData = new byte[0];
List documentPages = new List();
int? totalPages = (int?)null;

        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(adminPortalViewModel.FileName))
        {
            HttpPostedFileBase file = Request.Files[0];
            Stream stream = file.InputStream;
            if (adminPortalViewModel.MaterialType == "Document")
            {
                attachmentData = new byte[file.ContentLength + 1];
                stream.Read(attachmentData, 0, file.ContentLength);

                ViewerConfig config = new ViewerConfig();
                ViewerHtmlHandler htmlHandler = new ViewerHtmlHandler(config);
                HtmlOptions htmlOptions = new HtmlOptions();
                htmlOptions.IsResourcesEmbedded = true;
                htmlOptions.PdfOptions.EnablePreciseRendering = true;

                List<PageHtml> pages = htmlHandler.GetPages(stream, htmlOptions);
                totalPages = pages.Count();
                documentPages = new List<DocumentPageData>();
                foreach (PageHtml pageHtml in pages)
                    documentPages.Add(new DocumentPageData() { PageHtml = pageHtml.HtmlContent });
            }
        }

My exception is being throw on the line: List pages = htmlHandler.GetPages(stream, htmlOptions);

I’ve attached the file that is causing issues:

ocsViewerException: ‘Object reference not set to an instance of an object.’
