Different result IIS vs. IIS Express

[allesBuchen]

Hi,

first: Spire.PDF is a really great component and it makes live easier every day.

But now i'm running into a problem i can't resolve. I'm trying to generate a PDF document from a HTML string.
Generating it on live server with a "real" IIS everything looks fine and smooth.

But when using it in my developing environment (Visual Studio 2017, IIS Express), the HTML is complete wrong.
Wrong font, wrong measures, everything looks wrong when opening the PDF.

Any idea is appreciated.

Thanx in advance

Best regards, Henner

Hi Lisa,

thanks for your answer. Meanwhile i found out what the problem seems to be.
My development environment gets the HTML to convert via „localhost“ from IIS Express.
This seems to force an "intranet" behavior like a very old IE (compatibility mode).

Adding the meta tag

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1“>

brings the right effect and it now looks nearly like the productive server result.
Trying this on the productive site to makes the result a little bit less sharp that without.
So i’m just setting the tag when running on develop.

After all it's just a workaround but it brings the wanted effect.

Thanx again and best regards,

Henner
