    /// <summary>
/// Keep original value of date field. Default: false
/// </summary>
public bool KeepDateFieldOriginalValue { get; set; }

  2. When run GroupDocs.Conversion for .NET under linux with .NET6, the type initializer for ‘gdip’ throws exception

        "System.Drawing.EnableUnixSupport": true,
    }
}
