If you ever revisit alternatives, you might want to try YakPDF It gives you:

- HTML → PDF without any browser engine - PDF compression & optimization - Simple API for manual PDF generation - Text extraction - No native dependencies and cheaper than Aspose

It’s not a full drop-in replacement for every Aspose feature, but it covers the core workflow you mentioned and is much lighter to integrate.

YakPDF (as far as I can tell) is an API and not a library that generates a PDF. If you're going to go that route, host https://github.com/gotenberg/gotenberg yourself and call it a day.
