xls to pdf / html conversion failure on linux

Hi,
I am trying to convert some xls files to pdf as well as Web format. The api that I created is based on .net core framework and I have dockerised it to run it on a linux container. Can you please confirm if these conversions are supported on linux or not ?

I am using the latest Nuget package - 5.7.0

I am getting the following exceptions -

Web conversion (html) -

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Gdip' threw an exception.

You need to make sure libgdiplus is installed in your container image (System.Drawing.Common package depends on it).

Add the highlighted lines to your Dockerfile:

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk:3.0 AS build
RUN apt-get update -y && apt-get install -y apt-utils
RUN apt-get install -y libgdiplus && apt-get install -y libc6-dev
.
.
.

Thanks for your quick response.
I have installed the libgdiplus library in my docker container. Now, I am able to convert most of my files to pdf and html, except a few. The files which aren't getting converted all have an embedded document in the xls file. The embedded document is shown with an icon (as shown in the image attached along). I think this is causing trouble. Can you please confirm this?

Also, do we have an option to set the name of the html documents same as the worksheet name? Currently the output html doc name is like - InputStream.xlsm-1.html, InputStream.xlsm-2.html etc. I think it's because I am using a stream as an input and not a file name/path. I want to name the html files on the worksheet name.
