    What is this world coming to? Evaluation period of [aspose](https://products.aspose.com/pdf/net/) (pdf generator) not only has throws up an ugly red banner, but throws an error if you attempt to access the 5th or higher element of any collection. The company insists on paying for that over using latex. I'm out of words.

        I think I last used Aspose in 2010-ish. I do not have fond memories of it (or was it Telerik?). I find Office interop work just fine. But then I deal with fairly simple PDFs. May be you can think about that if it suits you as well. You can try out using this method: [Document.SaveAs2](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.office.tools.word.document.saveas2?view=vsto-2017)

          Links to that library are frequently spammed here. I suggest you remove the link, lest more overzealous members report your account as a spammer.

              That's why it is called "evaluation". If they gave you the full version for nothing then how would they get you to pay?

                If not only are people reporting, but those who presumably review said reports do so without reading the context, "overzealous" is too nice a word.

                  Unfortunately, interop needs office installed locally, and the product is to run in an azure web app box we can't install office on.

                    ftr, if it were up to me, I'd be making something new from scratch. But people are so impatient.

                      Maybe to remove the red banner, or better yet, provide the software free and accept donations like every other lib.

                        I actually rather like the core pdf format. Like html, if it was made of linked lists and no <>s. And no documentation exists anywhere. There are tools that can (de)compress it, and then I edit them as text sometimes. It has variables and templates. It looks rather like a lot of js frameworks try to turn html into.

                          Why should they do that? They are after all in business to make money. And you are free to use or not use their product as long as you know their terms and conditions.
