HtmlToPdf.ConvertUrl results in the error "failed to initialize conversion" - it doesn't matter if I feed it straight html or a URL. The same error is generated when I try to run the samples that were included in the download, such as HtmlToPdf1.aspx. I downloaded the newest version. Thank you.

Thank you! It works - but it is showing the "Created with EO.PDF..." message even though I entered my license key in the code before the PDF is generated. Thank you.

Hi,
The new released is more expensive and requires a different license (because it now has HTML to PDF feature). We can upgrade you for the price difference, would that be OK for you? If you do not wish to update but wish to roll back to the old version, we can also provide the download link. Please let us know.
Thanks!

I assumed my license was valid until the 2012 version - I just got it a few months ago. Anyway, I guess I should probably upgrade. What would the price be? Thank you.

Hi,
You only need to pay the price difference, which is $150. We have sent you a discount code to you via private message. You can use that discount code to place a new order so that you won't pay the full price.
Please feel free to let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

The "failed to initialize conversion" error has returned now that I uploaded my application from my localhost to a web server (discountasp.net).
Edit: The current build seemed to fix it - I was reluctant to download it at first since you had given me that custom build, but now all seems ok. It works both locally and on the server.

I'm also getting this same error sometimes. The PDF conversion is embedded in a batch process and normally it runs good. But a few seem to get this Error. Last batch that I ran processed 100 PDF document and only 1 of them failed with this error. What could be the cause of this?
I'm using the latest version of EO.pdf.

Hi MJHorenberg,
Multiple reasons can cause this, the most likely two reasons are permission issue and your system is overloaded (for example, too many concurrent conversions at the same time). Also check your event viewer, there should be an error message with error code there when you see this error. When you do multiple conversions in a batch process, make sure you convert them sequentially --- do not start another one before the previous one finishes. Otherwise you will run out of resource and eventually run into this error.
Thanks!

Hi all,
I'm experiencing a similar problem with the latest EO.pdf 2013 version.
Everything works fine on my local machine, but when deploying the web application on Azure, the HtmlToPdf fails to initalize.
Exception:
EO.Pdf.HtmlToPdfException: Convertion failed. Failed to initialize conversion (1). ---> EO.Pdf.Internal.k5: Failed to initialize conversion (1).
Stack Trace:
at EO.Pdf.Internal.ls.a(ls A_0, a A_1)
at EO.Pdf.Internal.ls.a(hk A_0, Boolean A_1)
at EO.Pdf.Internal.ls.a(hk A_0)
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---
at EO.Pdf.Internal.ls.a(hk A_0)
at EO.Pdf.HtmlToPdfSession..ctor(HtmlToPdfOptions A_0)
at EO.Pdf.HtmlToPdf.ConvertHtml(String html, PdfDocument doc, HtmlToPdfOptions options)
at EO.Pdf.HtmlToPdf.ConvertHtml(String html, Stream stream, HtmlToPdfOptions options)
Any clue?
Thanks

Hi Marco,
You will need to check your event viewer to find out exactly why it failed.
Thanks!

Unfortunately we've no access to the event viewer,
because we're on WAWS.

Hi Marco,
In that case you will have to contact your service provider to find it out for you. When the converter fails to initialize it writes a log message to the event viewer. Most of the time the failure is caused by insufficient permissions. In that case if you do not own the server, you will have to contact the people who run your service to grant your application sufficient permissions.
Thanks!

Hello,
I am experiencing the same issue on Azure Cloud Services not Azure Web Sites. I am using the latest available version of EO.PDF HTML to Pdf. I have access to Event viewer. What should I be looking for ?
Thanks.

Hi,
You can look for event viewer message under "Application" category and then see if you can see anything with "EO.Pdf" in the source column. Make sure you update to the latest EO.Pdf before you do so ---- Microsoft has released a new optional Windows update recently that can break older version of EO.Pdf.
Thanks!

Hi, Thanks for your response. First of all, I upgraded my EO.PDF from 6.0.19 to 6.0.28 and deployed it to Azure. It has been working for a day. So I think the issue is gone. I checked my event logs and all I can see is Windows Azure Runtime in the source column. I check the error in the internet and this is a global warning for all events that the Event Viewer cannot map any event identifiers or event categories to a description string. Thus, it basically shows following. Quote:The description for Event ID 1013 from source Windows Azure Runtime 2.4.0.0 cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event. I will post a follow up post, after couple days. Currently it is working. Thank you.
