Hello,

My company is Aspose customer.

As we are using Aspose components (Cells, Pfd, Slides, Word) on some windows services, I need to know if Aspose does use System.Drawing component in the underneath.

I especially need to know for Aspose.Pdf component. Version of Aspose.Pdf we are using is 8.3.0.0.

Thank you for your response.

Hi,

Yes, Aspose APIs use System.Drawing but we will gradually replace it with our Aspose.Imaging API. As far as Aspose.Pdf is concerned, it will not depend on System.Drawing till the end of this years.

Best Regards,

Hi,

We need the same functioanlity to create Excel files on a windows service.
I’ve just checked the latest version of Aspose.Imaging, and it still has a reference to System.Drawing.

Question: Is it save to use Aspose.Imaging in a windows service process?

@manuelk,

Our product team has tested code that runs as windows service and uses System.Drawing. So, there is no conflict.
