You should have mentioned that Spire.PDF is a paid library:
"The trial version will add a red watermark to the generated documents, and only supports converting the first 10 pages to other formats (excluding image)."
"To help you evaluate our product without any watermarks or restrictions, we provide you with a one-month temporary license."
