Hello - as we're having startup issues when deploying EO-PDF versions after v22.1.94 to AppServices, I upgraded to v23.0.83 to check whether our issues were resolved - we are calling EO-PDF from .NET Core 3.1. When we run our (web) application to generate PDF's locally we are hanging on the HtmlToPdf.ConvertHtml(...) call indicated

Code: C#
EO.Base.Runtime.EnableEOWP = true;
HtmlToPdf.MaxConcurrentTaskCount = 4; //** set to 16 or higher for User-Acceptance / Production
...
HtmlToPdfResult htmlToPdfResult = null;
using (var debugConsoleLog = new StringWriter())
{
    HtmlToPdf.DebugConsole = debugConsoleLog;
    using (System.IO.MemoryStream stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream())
    {
        try
        {
            htmlToPdfResult = HtmlToPdf.ConvertHtml(inputHtml, stream); //**hanging here**
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            _logger.LogError(ex, $"{this.GetType()}");
            throw;
        }
        bytes = stream.ToArray();
    }
    debugConsoleLog.Flush();
}
var reader = new PdfDocument(new MemoryStream(bytes));
pageCount = reader.Pages.Count;

Nothing happens after this point and no error message is returned (no timeout, etc in the EO-PDF logging - nothing either in the Windows Event log)

Thinking it may be something within my local environment (eg. virus protection, etc), I deployed to our development slot on AppServices and still get the same behavior (hanging - no error message)

When I downgrade from EO-PDF v23.0.83 -> v23.0.51, the PDF generates both locally and when deployed to our development AppServices slot

Is the setup/configuration different for v23.0.83 ?

Hi,

We tested it here and it seems to work fine. Can you try to isolate the problem into a test project and then send the test project to us? See here for more details:

Thanks!

Hi - I have sent you a message via email with subject "New version hangs" that contains a test project attached which recreates the error
Kind regards

Thank you very much for the test project. We have found the root of the problem and posted a new build on our download page. We have verified the new build here with your test project and the problem no longer occurs with the test project. Please take a look and see if it resolves the problem on your side.

I have tested this with the new version and can confirm our reports generate successfully
Thank-you
