Hi,

I'm looking for a solution for generating PDF in Umbraco 8. I found https://wkhtmltopdf.org/ , a lot of people recommend it, although I can't make it work. I created a pdf.cshtml view and added this code (https://our.umbraco.com/forum/umbraco-7/using-umbraco-7/71210-best-and-most-flexible-pdf-generator):

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoViewPage
@{
    Layout = null;
    string PDF_CONVERTER = Server.MapPath("/App_data/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf.exe");

    var filename = Model.Name + ".pdf";
    var path = Server.MapPath("/App_Data/pdfs/" + filename);
    var url = Request.Url.Scheme + "://" + Request.Url.Host + Model.Url;
    // Create directory if needed
    var di = new DirectoryInfo(Path.GetDirectoryName(path));
    if (!di.Exists) { di.Create(); }

    // Connect to process
    var process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
    process.StartInfo.FileName = PDF_CONVERTER;
    process.StartInfo.Arguments = "-T 0 -R 0 -B 0 -L 0 --no-outline --disable-smart-shrinking " + url + " " + "\"" + path + "\"";
    process.Start();
    process.WaitForExit();

    Response.Clear();
    Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename);
    Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
    Response.WriteFile(path);
    Response.Flush();
    Response.End();
}

When I call the page, two error messages pop up

and after the following on the screen:

Exception Details: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Users\userrname\source\repos\Project\Project\App_Data\pdfs\Plot 3.pdf'.

Source Error:


Line 45:     Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename);
Line 46:     Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Line 47:     Response.WriteFile(path);
Line 48:     Response.Flush();
Line 49:     Response.End();

Source File: C:\Users\username\source\repos\Project\Project\Views\Partials\Components\Plot.cshtml    Line: 47

Any advice?
