KeepTextsTogether - This property instructs the converter whether to try to avoid cutting off the text lines between pdf pages or not. This was covered in more details in Page Breaks section.

LazyImagesLoadingDelay - Delay per page, in miliseconds, for lazy images loading. The default value is 50 ms. Note: Honored by the Blink and Chromium rendering engines.

LoginOptions - Handle custom page login. Note: This is used only by the Blink or Chromium rendering engine.

ManagedContentTrimming - Gets or sets whether the library decides where the rendered content ends on each page. The default value is True. With True, the page the content ends on is drawn only down to where the content ends, on a document of any length. With False, the page is shortened to the content only when the whole content fits on one page. Set it to False if pages are cut in the wrong place. Note: This is used only by the Chromium rendering engine.

ManagedContentTrimmingMode - Gets or sets how the rendering engine reports where the rendered content ends when ManagedContentTrimming is True. The default value is Ink. With Ink, the engine measures where the last painted content is after the page is rendered, so what the page paints outside its layout, such as a shadow or a positioned decoration, is kept, together with the space the last element leaves below itself. With Marker, the content ends where the page's layout ends, the way earlier versions cut; something painted outside the layout can be cut. Only the last page is affected: the pages before it are the same in both modes. An engine that does not support the Ink mode uses the Marker mode. Note: This is used only by the Chromium rendering engine.

MarginBottom - The bottom margin of the pdf document. The margin is specified in points. 1 point is 1/72 inch.

MarginLeft - The left margin of the pdf document. The margin is specified in points. 1 point is 1/72 inch.

If the maximum number is reached and more conversion requests arrive, they will wait in a queue for an available spot.

MinPageLoadTime - An additional time in seconds to wait for asynchronous items to be loaded before the web page is rendered. This was covered in more details in Conversion Delay and Timeout section.

PageBreaksEnhancedAlgorithm - Gets or sets a flag indicating if an enhanced custom page breaks algorithm is used. The enhanced algorithm is a little bit slower but it will prevent the appearance of hidden text in the PDF when custom page breaks are used. The default value for this property is False.
