SDL Trados Studio 2015 - Alignment of IDML files

Hi community,

 

I'm facing few problems when trying to align IDML files in order to create a TM.

With small files, I managed to create the alignment, but they are tiny, so I don't think this is a good indication.

However, when I try to create alignment with bigger files, I keep getting the following "famous and unclear" error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object (attaching the error details XML file).

I can see that the content of both source and target IDMLs are similar and the number of pages matches.

Can someone please help here ASAP?
