Tuespechkin cannot find wkhtmltox.dll

188 views Asked by At

Good morning,

I'm trying to generate pdf files with Tuespechkin, using html. It works perfectly locally, however not in production.

    public static bool GeneratePDFFromHTMLPaysage(String full_path, String htmlContent, String baseUrl)
    {
        try
        {
            String content = "<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><meta http-equiv='X-UA-Compatible' content='IE=edge'><meta charset='UTF-8' name='viewport' content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1'><title>Titre</title><link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.1/css/bootstrap.min.css'><script type='text/javascript' src='https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.1/js/bootstrap.min.js'></script></head><body><div class='container'>";

            content = content + htmlContent;
            content = content + "</div></body></html>";
            full_path = full_path + ".pdf";

            var document = new HtmlToPdfDocument
            {
                GlobalSettings =
                {
                    ProduceOutline = true,
                    PaperSize = System.Drawing.Printing.PaperKind.A4, // Implicit conversion to PechkinPaperSize
                    Margins =
                    {
                        All = 0,
                        Unit = Unit.Centimeters
                    },
                    Orientation = GlobalSettings.PaperOrientation.Landscape
                },
                Objects = {
                    new ObjectSettings { HtmlText = content }
                }
            };
            IConverter convert = new StandardConverter(
                new PdfToolset(
                    new Win64EmbeddedDeployment(
                        new TempFolderDeployment())));
            byte[] test = convert.Convert(document);
            System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(full_path, test);
            return true;
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            ErrorManager.Log(e.Message + "\n" + e.InnerException + "\n" + e.StackTrace);
            return false;
        }
    }

Basically, I tried to replace 64 bits with 32 bits, specified a static path for deployment as advised in documentation (doing so create a folder in which the missing DLL is placed, it has the same behavior in local than in production, but only work locally).

my application is a basic windows application, I simply copy files from Debug or Release folder to deploy it :

the project

as you can see, I included wkhtmltox.dll so it automaticaly deploy in the root folder of the project, but no results as well

**Summary : ** .NET 4 framework, windows application, trying to use Tuespechkin, had installated visual C++ 2013 on production trying to solve missing dll, and a lot of stuff with the code

Thanks for your attention, hoping for a solution

Well, seems like my production server is just too old (windows server 2003), and that it might explain the problem
