I have googled on it, but got no solution, and no helpful documentation about the rasterizer.Open() function.
The Console.WriteLine(rasterizer.PageCount); always prints 0, regardless which pdf file I load.
txtStatusis a multiline TextBox in UI. txtOpenLocation is another TextBox in UI, non-editable by user, and its value is set by a OpenFileDialog.
I am using Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition.
Another observation I feel worth mentioning— for every pdf file on my machine, when I try to open any pdf file with either Adobe Acrobat DC or Foxit Reader, first the reader crashes, becomes 'not responsive' for about 10 to 15 seconds and then it opens the pdf file.
