@GZaha,

I have moved your post into a new thread. The implementation of the fix of WORDSNET-22099 has been postponed for now. Your thread has been linked to the appropriate issue (WORDSNET-22099) and you will be notified via this forum thread as soon as this feature will be supported in future. Sorry for any inconvenience.

The issues you have found earlier (filed as WORDSNET-22099) have been fixed in this Aspose.Words for .NET 25.5 update also available on NuGet.

After careful evaluation, we have decided not to implement PDF linearization (“Fast Web View”) at this time due to:

  1. Low Demand – Minimal customer requests over 11 years (fewer than accessibility-related asks in just 1 year
  2. High Implementation Cost – Would require:
  • Rewriting our single-pass PDF renderer to multi-pass
  • Significant memory management changes Risk of performance degradation in core workflows
  1. Existing Workarounds – Customers can easily linearize output using:
  • Standard tools (qpdf, Adobe Acrobat)
  • Simple post-processing scripts
