Hi Cristina,

Do manage Dependencies and untick Ultimate Pdf -> apply.

Example:

remove errors and publish your application.

Hope it's work.

hi Samiksha,

Thank you for your reply but we are unable to untick the dependency as we need the component to generate the PDF. We would lose that functionality entirely

Cristina

Hi Cristina. There's no setting to be applied after the detach.

What might be happening is that the component attempts to download a Chromium browser and store it on the C:\Windows\Temp folder. If the folder is not writeable for the application pool user, then this operation will fail.

If you could provide more details about the error, I might be able to help you.

Hi Leonardo,
thank you for your reply.

Since my message the error changed a bit into "An exception occurred in the client script. Error: Cannot read property 'click' of null "

Here is what's happening:

We have a button that says Export to PDF. 

On click, this executes some validations and then triggers a click on a hidden button that performs the "PrintToPDF_Advanced" action. (i tried to make the button visible to make sure that doesn't cause a problem)
PrintToPDF_Advanced will receive an URL as input, which we build based on people's selections on the screen.

I tried the URL in the browser and it seems to display some data.

Not really sure if i'm missing something, or maybe some permissions.

You are right, on the server the c:\windows\temp folder seems to be read only. I will have to look into what users have what permissions. 

Many thanks,
Cristina

I believe IIS doesn't usually have write privileges to the c:\windows\temp folder, so that makes sense. Here is the documentation to grant permissions to the application pool identity: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/manage/configuring-security/application-pool-identities

The latest release has a configuration which allows you to use a different folder other than c:\windows\temp, in case you prefer to isolate the access to a folder that is specific to Ultimate PDF. Even if you have detached already, it should be simple to merge the extension's source code into your detached version.

Waqar, you can try disabling the exception handling in the component itself. Remove the catch that you can find on the action PrintToPDF_Advanced.

This will unlock the actual underlying exception that is happening, and we can try to investigate it.

Hi Leonardo,

I have managed to remove the catch and error is now "Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)"

Kind Regards,

Ok, make sure the correct version of the Newtonsoft.Json assembly (12.0.0.0 or higher) is included in the bin folder.
