Convert HTML to PDF in C# using Aspose.PDF | slow processing on large files and eats a lot of RAM

Hi, we are using the latest ASPOSE library for C # Net Core. We need to convert small and large html files to pdf with the addition of stamps. Unfortunately, when converting large files, a lot of RAM is eaten up, and this is quite slow. I think the whole file is kept in memory as an aspose structure. Is it possible to do streaming conversion? Without holding the entire file structure in memory?

public static byte[] ConvertHtmlToPdf(string html, Stream header = null, string htmlStamp = null)
{
try
{
var htmlOptions = new HtmlLoadOptions();
htmlOptions.PageInfo.IsLandscape = true;
htmlOptions.PageInfo.Width = PageSize.A4.Height * 1.2;
htmlOptions.PageInfo.Height = PageSize.A4.Width * 1.2;
htmlOptions.PageInfo.Margin = new MarginInfo(35, 35, 35, 80);
var document = new Document(new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(html)), htmlOptions);
var pageNumberStamp = new PageNumberStamp
{
Background = false,
Format = "Страница №# из " + document.Pages.Count,
TopMargin = 40.0,
RightMargin = 60.0,
HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right,
VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top,
StartingNumber = 1
};
pageNumberStamp.TextState.Font = FontRepository.FindFont(“Arial”);
pageNumberStamp.TextState.FontSize = 9.0F;
pageNumberStamp.TextState.ForegroundColor = Color.Black;
foreach (var t in document.Pages)
{
t.AddStamp(pageNumberStamp);
}

            using var ms = new MemoryStream();
            document.Save(ms);

            return ms.ToArray();
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            BackgroundWork.LogException(e, "ConvertToPdf ConvertHtmlToPdf");
        }

        return new byte[0];
    }

We will surely investigate the issue and try to improve the API performance. Could you please share any sample large HTML file with which we can perform the test and observe the memory consumption issue at our end?
