PDF Viewer Service (asp.net core 3.0): Syncfusion.EJ2.PdfViewer.Load returns "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

Hi.

I am trying to get the <ejs-pdfviewer> working. It works with your backend but now I am struggling with creating my own PDF Viewer Service. I took the code from here (https://ej2.syncfusion.com/documentation/pdfviewer/how-to/create-pdfviewer-service/) and use it in a ASP.NET Core 3.0 WebApi project.
However, when my Angular SPA attempts to load the document, Syncfusion.EJ2.PdfViewer.Load returns "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." instead of a real JSON object:



What can I do to successfully serve my PDF to the SPA?


Kindest regards
Manuel

Hi Sandeep,
Based on the provide details we suspect that the reported error occured due to any of the following reasons, 
  • Script and NuGet of different version might be referred, if so kindly use both the Scripts (@syncfusion/ej2-angular-pdfviewer) and the NuGet packages of same version in your project to avoid conflicts.
  • Script error may be thrown so the PDF document is not rendered, if so please provide the error details
  • Provided document may not be available in the location specified in GetDocumentPath()
We have also created simple PDF Viewer sample and shared in the below location,

I am Having a similar problem, does this works with .net core 3.1? because all your codes refers to .net core 2.0, and I have not found info about support of this version
Thanks!

Hi Carlos, 

Thank you for your update. We can create the PDF Viewer web service project in ASP.Net Core 3.0. Refer to the below KB for more details, you can also find the sample at the end of the KB, 


Note:  

Before ASP.NET Core 3.0, the default JSON formatters implemented using the Newtonsoft.Json package. In ASP.NET Core 3.0 or later, the default JSON formatters are based on System.Text.Json. Support for Newtonsoft.Json based formatters and features is available by installing the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.NewtonsoftJson NuGet package and configuring it in Startup.ConfigureServices. 

Kindly try it and revert with more details about your issue and the modified sample if you still have concerns. These details will be helpful for us to investigate further and assist you better. 

Regards, 
Akshaya
