Hello,

Rasterizer requires VC++ redistributable package installed. If you do not have this installed on the production server, pleaser run the appropriate Rasterizer installer and that will install the required dlls. If do not wish to run the Rasterizer installer, you would need to atleast install the VC++ redistributable package that can be downloaded from the Microsoft’s website.

For ceTe.DynamicPDF.Rasterizer.40.x64.dll use Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64). 

Thanks,

Hello,

If you are seeing this error when running the web application in IIS, the application pool is most likely in 32-bit mode. You are using ceTe.DynamicPDF.Rasterizer.40.x64.dll which targets 64-bit platform. If you can change the application pool setting to run in 64-bit mode then that should resolve the issue, otherwise use ceTe.DynamicPDF.Rasterizer.40.x86.dll. Please refer to this link for information on which dll to use based on your project settings (.NET Framework version & x64/x86).

Thanks,
ceTe Software Support Team.

We are getting this error:
"Could not load file or assembly 'ceTe.DynamicPDF.Rasterizer.40.x86' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format." We get the same error when we use the x64

We have updated the Windows 2008 Server with the latest 2015 64 bit VC++ Redist. and we still get the error.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Hello,

Depending on the dll you are using Rasterizer requires one of the VC++ redistributable packages installed.
If you plan to use ceTe.DynamicPDF.Rasterizer.40.x64.dll you would need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64) on the server. For ceTe.DynamicPDF.Rasterizer.40.x86.dll you would need the following Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) installed.

When compiling your application you would need to explicitly compile your application as x86 (32-bit) if you are using ceTe.DynamicPDF.Rasterizer.40.x86.dll and x64 (64-bit) if you are using ceTe.DynamicPDF.Rasterizer.40.x64.dll. Also, if you are hosting your application in IIS, in the application pool properties, make sure “Enable 32-bit Applications” is set to true when using ceTe.DynamicPDF.Rasterizer.40.x86.dll and false when using ceTe.DynamicPDF.Rasterizer.40.x64.dll.

Please try the above suggestions and if the issue is still not resolved, please email us (support@cete.com) the following information so we can look into this issue further.

1. Type of application you using the Rasterizer in (WinForms, Web App, Website, Web service, Windows service etc).

2. Exception message including the stack trace.

3. List all VC++ Redistributable packages installed on the server.

4. Is the Win 2008 server 32-bit or 64-bit? 

Thanks,
ceTe Software Support Team.

I have Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 but i'm getting the same error

Hello,

Installation of VC++ 2012 redistributables alone will not work.  Rasterizer targets specific VC++ redistributable versions. For .NET 2.0/3.0/3.5 applications, VC++ 2008 is required. For.NET 4.x applications, VC++ 2010 is required. You can refer to the documentation on deployment here. For example, if you plan to use ceTe.DynamicPDF.Rasterizer.40.x64.dll you would need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64). For ceTe.DynamicPDF.Rasterizer.40.x86.dll you would need the following Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)  installed.

Thanks,
