FreeSpire.Doc Nuget package creates 2 references

[mic1_2022]

Using FreeSpire.Doc Nuget package to create a Word Document in a VB .NET 4.8 Framework application
All works well but I noticed when I included the FreeSpire.Doc Nuget package 2 references were added to the project : - Spire.Doc and Spire.Pdf
When I execute the application Spire.doc.dll and Spire.Pdf.dll are pulled into the Bin folder

I only need to create a Word Doc - no PDF processing needed so I was wondering
1. Could you please explain the relationship between the 2 Spire References ?
2. Is the Spire.Doc.dll dependent on the Spire.PDF.dll ?
When I remove the Spire.PDF reference (manually in Visual Studio) and delete the Spire.PDF.dll from the Bin folder the application still works but it still pulls in the Spire.PDF.dll into the Bin folder on execution)

Thanks

Hello,

Please kindly note that our Spire.Doc and Spire.PDF are two different products. Since the Spire.doc.dll has a dependency on Spire.Pdf.dll in some occasions, that’s why the Spire.Doc package contains Spire.Pdf.dll. If there is still any doubts, please feel free to write back.
