Hello,
I'm trying to render a web page that contains images into a pdf document using ABCpdf. This is done from a web application.
When I run the application on my development machine in IIS5, everything is fine. When I deploy the application on IIS6, the images don't appear in the pdf.
To reproduce the problem, I made a simple web application to render a pdf file from a simple web page and I found out that the images which are not local are the ones that don't appear in the pdf.
The relevant code that interacts with ABCpdf is:
Doc theDoc = new Doc();
theDoc.Rect.Inset(18, 18);
theDoc.HtmlOptions.PageCacheEnabled = false;
theDoc.HtmlOptions.PageCacheClear();
theDoc.HtmlOptions.UseNoCache = true;
theDoc.HtmlOptions.Timeout = 60000;
int theID = theDoc.AddImageUrl(theUrl);
while (true)
{
if (!theDoc.Chainable(theID)) break;
theDoc.Page = theDoc.AddPage();
theID = theDoc.AddImageToChain(theID);
}
for (int i = 1; i <= theDoc.PageCount; i++)
{
theDoc.PageNumber = i;
theDoc.Flatten();
}
theDoc.Save(location);
theDoc.Clear();
The html page that I'm using for test is this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head><title>Test page</title></head>
<body>
<p>This is a local image</p>
<img src="http://myserver/test/images/testimage.gif" />
<p>This is a remote image</p>
<img src="http://l.yimg.com/a/i/ww/beta/y3.gif" />
</body>
</html>
So I'm trying to render the page at this url: http://myserver/test/testpage.html (the code above) into a pdf.
In IIS6, the second image (that is not local for the server) doesn't appear in the pdf.
It seems to be a problem with access rights, but I couldn't figure it out.
Thank you.
