Hang Convert HTML

DynamicPDF Converter for .NET (v1) Forum

Advanced Search

Hi,

I'm trying to convert HTML to a PDF and it works fine on my Dev machine. I deploy to a test server and the it hangs while converting. The server is running Windows 64 bit 2016. I have the x64 version of Dynamic PDF running on the server. I have added the correct license key for the server. I can see that the HTML file that html file is created in C:/Windows/Temp.

The web site is running using an account that has full permissions to c:\windows\temp

I created a simple console app to test;

            try
            {
               Console.WriteLine("Adding License");

               Converter.AddLicense("My Key");
               string sampleHtml = "<html><body><p>Simple HTML string</p></body></html> ";

               Console.WriteLine("Generating Doc");
               Converter.ConvertHtmlString(sampleHtml, @"C:\\windows\temp\Document.pdf");
               Console.WriteLine("Finished Generating Doc");

            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
               Console.WriteLine(e);
               Console.ReadKey();
            }

This works fine on my local box, by hangs Generating Document.

I have run out of ideas?

Thanks,

George
