HTML to PDF on Linux using net core 3.1 and webkit

[Javier A Aguilera]

We have an azure app service running linux. 

we debloy this example with no issues: https://www.syncfusion.com/kb/10731/how-to-convert-html-to-pdf-in-azure-app-service-linux-using-net-core

but, when upgrade the example to net core 3.1, it stops working.

There is any other steps to do when working with net core 3.1 to achieve the html to pdf conversion?

Ok, found the issue.

its a dependency missing in debian 10 (the one used in linux app service in azure)

connect with ssh:

nano /etc/apt/sources.list  --> add deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security main

  apt-get install gnupg

  apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 3B4FE6ACC0B21F32

  

  apt update && apt-cache policy libssl1.0-dev

  apt-get install libssl1.0-dev

  

  apt-get update && apt-get -y install xvfb && apt-get -y install fontconfig && apt-get -y install libssl1.0-dev && apt-get -y install libx11-dev libx11-xcb-dev libxcb-icccm4-dev libxcb-image0-dev libxcb-keysyms1-dev libxcb-randr0-dev libxcb-render-util0-dev libxcb-render0-dev libxcb-shm0-dev libxcb-util0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev libxcb-xkb-dev libxcb1-dev libxfixes-dev libxrandr-dev libxrender-dev

Hi Javier, 

Thank you for your Syncfusion products. We are glad to know that your problem has been solved. 

WebKit HTML converter for Linux has some dependency packages for converting HTML to PDF. By default the Azure server does not have these packages. So, we need to install the packages on the server. Please refer below link for dependency packages for converting HTML to PDF in Linux.
