We’re evaluating which HTML to PDF converter we’re going to use in a project and so far things are looking for Aspose. However, we’ve found two problems. The second one (first is in another ticket) is that GIF images are converted to JPEG files which leads to larger sizes and image quality degradation.
Is there a way around this (ie, keep it in a non destroyed format). I’ve tried changing the compression settings but the logo still looks bad. In competitors products the gif is stored as an “image” instead of “jpeg” and quality is preserved.

Optimization settings:
var optimizationOptions = new Aspose.Pdf.Optimization.OptimizationOptions();
optimizationOptions.RemoveUnusedObjects = true;
optimizationOptions.RemoveUnusedStreams = true;
optimizationOptions.AllowReusePageContent = true;
optimizationOptions.LinkDuplcateStreams = true;
optimizationOptions.UnembedFonts = true;
optimizationOptions.ImageCompressionOptions.CompressImages = false;
optimizationOptions.ImageCompressionOptions.ImageQuality = 100;
optimizationOptions.ImageCompressionOptions.ResizeImages = false;
pdfDocument.OptimizeResources(optimizationOptions);

We have opened the following new ticket(s) in our internal issue tracking system and will deliver their fixes according to the terms mentioned in Free Support Policies.
Issue ID(s): PDFNET-58195
You can obtain Paid Support Services if you need support on a priority basis, along with the direct access to our Paid Support management team.
Thanks for the quick reply, appreciated! I’ve read up on Paid support and would just like to verify that my understanding is correct. Paid support will get us priority and a response within 24 hours but there’s no guarantee that the issue will be fixed (ever).
We’re evaluating Aspose PDF .NET and for our purposes we need a Site OEM license which means that license + support excluding VAT will come close to $30.000 for a product that we don’t if we can use since we don’t know if a fix is possible or will be provided.
Have I understood it correctly?
If so, I have a very hard time making the argument for Aspose to my manager even though the product fulfills our purposes otherwise and is the fastest product around in my tests.
