If you cut too many corners you'll end up going in circles?

unfortunately, as ancient Greeks found, the problem of squaring the circle is NP-Hard [^].Quote: The popularity of the problem continued and there are many amusing stories told by De Morgan on this topic in his book Budget of Paradoxes which was edited and published by his wife in 1872, the year after his death. De Morgan suggests that St Vitus be made the patron saint of circle-squarers. This is a reference to St Vitus' dance, a wild leaping dance in which people screamed and shouted and which led to a kind of mass hysteria. De Morgan also suggested the term 'morbus cyclometricus' as being the 'circle squaring disease'.

What is this world coming to? Evaluation period of aspose (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 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.

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

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

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

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.
