Having trouble with DocumentAnalysisClient().begin_analyze_document() function

Question

Hi I'm currently trying to run this code to run the document analysis tool on my pptx file. I've ran this code previously and it worked before but now I'm running into an error saying:
"Message: Invalid request. Inner error: { "code": "InvalidContent", "message": "The file is corrupted or format is unsupported. Refer to documentation for the list of supported formats." }"
I've double checked that the file is not corrupt and I even recreated the pptx file to check but I still get the same error.

I've taken this code from here but it doesn't seem to work for me, https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/blob/main/sdk/formrecognizer/azure-ai-formrecognizer/samples/v3.2_and_later/sample_analyze_general_documents.py.

Issue: "Message: Invalid request. Inner error: { "code": "InvalidContent", "message": "The file is corrupted or format is unsupported. Refer to documentation for the list of supported formats." }"

Solution: Upgrading the Python azure-ai-formrecognizer package to version 3.3.2 resolved.

Additionally, please refer to the table that explains the support of the input requirements.

Make sure you use the right model and the API version that support this PPTX document.
