DynamicPDF Converter for .NET

Introduction

DynamicPDF Converter for .NET allows you to dynamically convert other supported file types to PDF including HTML and Microsoft Office and many other common document formats. List of supported file types can be found in the following link: https://www.dynamicpdf.com/docs/dotnet/converter-features

The library provides events that allow developers to easily handle successful or failed conversions and integrates seamlessly with the rest of the DynamicPDF product suite.

Note

This library uses Chromium binaries downloaded from:

https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/

DynamicPDF does not build Chromium. You may also configure the library to use an existing Chromium installation available on your system instead of the bundled binaries.

Deployment

.NET Assembly

The package includes a .NET Standard 2.0 assembly that can be used with:

• .NET Framework
• .NET Standard 2.x
• .NET Core 2.x and later
• Modern .NET versions (.NET 5.0 and later)

The accompanying XML documentation file is used only for IntelliSense and does not need to be distributed with your application.

DynamicPDF Converter Service

When your application runs under a restricted user account (for example, an IIS application pool), some document conversions require the DynamicPDF Converter Service.

The DynamicPDF.Converter.dll assembly automatically detects and uses the service when it is installed.

Installing the Converter Service

1. Uninstall any older version of the DynamicPDF Converter service.

2. Locate the DPDFConverterService folder.

3. Copy the following files to a permanent location:

   • DynamicPDF.Converter.Service.exe
   • DynamicPDF.Converter.Service.exe.config
   • ReadMe.txt

4. Copy DynamicPDF.Converter.dll from the bin folder into the same directory as the service executable.

   Important

   DynamicPDF.Converter.Service.exe and DynamicPDF.Converter.dll must reside in the same folder, otherwise certain conversions may fail.

5. Open Command Prompt as Administrator.

6. Navigate to the service directory.

7. Install the service by running:

DynamicPDF.Converter.Service.exe /r

8. When prompted, enter credentials for a Windows account that:

   • Has Administrator privileges
   • Can open Microsoft Office documents

Uninstalling the Converter Service

Open Command Prompt as Administrator, navigate to the service directory, and run:

DynamicPDF.Converter.Service.exe /u
