We'll update to 2.0.5.2 ASAP. Your help is very much appreciated! Thanks!

OK, thanks for the update. If I don't see an update by Monday (Feb 24), I'll recommend to my coworker that we should make the change locally.

Hi, zyx. Thanks for the clarification. Part of the reason that I didn't just request that my coworker make the change to our own local copy was that I wanted to be sure that you confirmed that it was a real bug (and that the fix I proposed was the correct fix for it) and not a misunderstanding on my part. Also, in general, if we change our own local copy of an external library to incorporate changes of our own, there can be negative consequences, such as: If we later encounter any additional bugs,...

Hi, zyx. To answer your question: "simpler" depends somewhat on what someone is used to doing and is set up to do. I hoped my description of the necessary changes would be sufficient.

We are looking at ways to simplify that, but for the time being, I found the...

Hi, zyx. Thanks for the quick response. With regard to building litePDF from source, perhaps I am operating on old information or am misinterpreting what you said, but in ticket #47, on 2022-09-07, you said "The litePDF is built on Windows, but its build files are very special. I cannot share it." My company has a policy in which we are not allowed to use DLLs which we did not build from source. (This is to avoid supply-chain attacks where an attacker might post innocent source code, then put a trojan...
