ABC PDF - Html to PDF

Hi,

I am trying to find a work-around for the AddImageURL function being disabled in the WebSuperGoo component (ABC PDF).

I need to be able to convert an existingwebpage to a PDF file.

I have had a reply from the support staff at discountasp.net which was:

?We do not support the AddImageUrl method or any methods that ABCpdf used to retrieve HTML data from the internet. That's because it will use the Internet Explorer engine, which on the server has very restrictive permissions. Sources for your PDFs must reside from files on your site or from user input.?

Does or has anyone got a workaround for this ?

Thanks
James

 

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

The only thing is that other PDF objects will cost money.

The main reason I went with discountasp.net was that they had the abcpdf object already on the server. I now may have to move the 3 sites I am developing due to this very reason.

Hi,

Yep, I tried ExpertPDF too. It gets blocked by security. Does anyone know of any HTML to PDF converter that will work on discountasp.net?

 

Tried 4 different NET Html to PDF converters, none of these will work due to trust issues on discountasp.


Managed to get a PHP version to work though. Not something I really wanted to do given we have moved our site from the old PHP one to NET here on discountasp, but beggars can't be choosers.
