Error on converting HTML to PDF

[Irina]

Hi all,
I made an windows service that convert html to pdf like this:


PDFDocument doc = new PDFDocument();
doc.Compression = CompressionLevel.Best;

IPDFGraphicState properties = doc.CreateGraphicState();
properties.SplitImages = true;
properties.BreakBehavior = AutoBreakBehavior.Cropping;

HtmlConverter html = new HtmlConverter();
PointF imageLocation = new PointF(10, y);
Image infoImg = html.ConvertToImage(infoPath, ImageType.Metafile,800);

SizeF imageSize = new SizeF();

if (infoImg != null)
{
if (infoImg.Width > doc.LastPage.DrawingWidth)
{
imageSize = new SizeF(doc.LastPage.DrawingWidth, infoImg.Height);
}
else
{
imageSize = new SizeF(infoImg.Width, infoImg.Height);
}
y = infoImg.Height;
doc.LastPage.Graphics.DrawImage(imageLocation, infoImg, imageSize, properties);
}

On my computer where I have installed Syncfusion and Visual Studio 2005 works fine, but when I move it on the server that have only installed .Net Framework 2.0 and Syncfusion assemblies registered to GAC (syncfusion.htmlui.base.dll, syncfusion.htmlui.windows.dll, syncfusion.compression.base.dll, syncfusion.htmltodls.base.dll, syncfusion.htmlconverter.base.dll, Syncfusion.dls.base.dll, Syncfusion.pdf.windows.dll, Syncfusion.pdf.base.dll, Syncfusion.Schedule.Windows.dll) give the following errors:

System.ArgumentException: Parameter is not valid. at System.Drawing.Image.get_Width() when I try to get the with of the image I suppose

and

System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException: A generic error occurred in GDI+.

at Syncfusion.Pdf.Implementation.Objects.PDFGraphics.DrawImage(PointF location, Image image, SizeF destination, IPDFGraphicState properties)

when I try to draw image into pdf (last line of code).

Can someone help me? There are other assemblies to add to GAC or?

Thank you,
Irina.

Hi Irina,

Thank you for your interest in Essential PDF.

In addition to the assemblies that you have mentioned above, you also need to add the below Interop assemblies.

* SHDocVw.dll
* AxSHDocVw.dll

These assemblies are found in the below location of your system.

C:\Documents and Settings\{user}\My Documents\Syncfusion\EssentialStudio\5.1.0.51\Windows\Pdf.Windows\Samples\2.0\Data\Interop Assemblies

And also, please refer the below link for more details.

Please try adding the above assemblies and let me know if the issue still exists.

Thanks,
Melba
