Dependency "Aspose.Imaging" and "Aspose.Drawing"

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

We have code in our app that tries to load all referenced assemblies. This code fails after integrating “Aspose.PDF":

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Aspose.Drawing, Version=24.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=716fcc553a201e56'. Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.
File name: 'Aspose.Drawing, Version=24.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=716fcc553a201e56'

The german part of the error translates to “The system cannot find the file specified”.

See attached sample: AsposePDFDependencies.zip (7.9 KB)

Bonus question: the parent assembly “Aspose.Imaging” is loaded, but apparently not from a disc location, as the property “Assembly.Location” is null. Where does it come from - is it embedded in “Aspose.PDF”?

It works if I add the packages “Aspose.Drawing” and “Aspose.Imaging”.

I ran into a similar issue with Aspose.Cells.GridDesktop - maybe it is related: GridDesktop: Dependency "HtmlTextWriter"

Do you have any suggestions? We could simply ignore “Aspose.Imaging” in our preload code if you can confirm that it is safe to do so.

I investigated a bit, issue was reproduced
As I know, the suggestion of Aspose.Imaging embedded in Aspose PDF is correct so it seems that you can ignore it
I tried for comparison to change Aspose PDF to Aspose PDF Drawing that has embedded Drawing solution, it fails on Imaging and Newtonsoft.Json.
Anyway, I’ll add task for development team for this as I can find no other solution for you right now

Just want to ask for an update. Do you plan to change anything, or is our temporary workaround (ignore “Aspose.Imaging” in our preload code) a permanent solution?

I looked at the information in the tracker - the task is assigned to the developer, but research on it has not yet been conducted.

Created tasks are solved in the order they are received, taking into account priorities.
The highest priority is for tasks with paid support, followed by tasks from users who have purchased a license.
The time it takes to solve problems can also vary. Therefore, unfortunately, it is not even possible to give ETA.

JFYI: my company has bought a license, but my forum account uses a different mail address.

I have made the appropriate changes to the ticket and written your request to the developers. Perhaps this will speed up the work on this task.
