Hi! I am a new here. First let me say, I really like working with your product, and found it extremely easy to use! I did have a quick question though. I am incorporating the Aspose.PDF library into a windows service I am writing to handle the creation of PDF mailing labels (and data exports) for my company’s web application. Its purpose is to monitor a queue and handle jobs that get submitted by the web application, and notify the end user of the jobs completion so the resulting file may be downloaded. The main thread of the windows service its self maintains a thread pool, and assigns each job to a thread to be handled. Through testing, I noticed that I occasionally fail when multiple PDF creations are happening, and I was curious if Aspose.PDF is thread safe? When I restrict the service to a single thread, the errors disappear. Specifically, this is the exception I am catching:
Work Thread (JID#98) : Error creating export file.System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The operation completed successfully

Thanks for your input in advance!
Dear Jason,
Thanks for your consideration.
There is really some error with Aspose.Pdf when used in multi-thread. I will try to solve this problem. But I think it need much time.
Thats fine. Thanks for your help still! For now, I am just forcing any PDF creations to a single thread. I was more just curious so I knew which direction to take my code in :-). Later!
