Setting proxy for IIS account for ABCPDF

Question

I'm currently using ABCPDF to transform HTML into PDF. We have a proxy and since ABCPDF internally calls MSIE under the AppPools user account, NetworkService in my case, the proxy has not been set.

I have tried to use Microsofts BITSAdmin tool to set the proxy for NetworkService (bitsadmin /util /setieproxy NetworkService MANUAL_PROXY PROXY_NAME null) However its still timing out.

Anyone have any idea on how to get around this?

Answer 1

With AbcPdf 8+ Its much easier to just change the render engine to Geko and then it dosn't need MSIE and the output seams to much more accurate.

var theDoc = new Doc();
theDoc.HtmlOptions.Engine = EngineType.Gecko;
