doc2pdf on azure function

[dinden]

I am trying to make a ProofOfConcept Azure function that converts a Word document to Pdf, however I keep running into System.Drawing errors.

Is this scenario supported or not?

System.PlatformNotSupportedException: System.Drawing is not supported on this platform.

Hi,

Thanks for your inquiry.
When using Azure function, here is a specific version. Please download it from following link:
http://www.e-iceblue.com/downloads/Temp ... pdfsk2.zip

After adding Spire.Doc into project, you need to add SkiaSharp Version 1.60.0 and System.text.encoding.codepages version 4.0.1. Note the version must be the same as I mentioned. Then please copy the two dlls(libSkiaSharp.dll and System.Text.Encoding.CodePages.dll) in the folder like "yourProject\bin\Debug\netstandard2.0\bin".

ok, that works, but seems like a very manual solution (and does not allow me to update the Spire version to the latest).
Will this be resolved in the near future?

I tried the same code on a V1 Azure Function (using .Net Framework 4.7.2), which ran fine without any manual intervention.

Hi,

We will update the version synchronously on NuGet in the future. Then there is no need to add it manually in your project, and you could use the latest version.
Once the version is updated on NuGet, I will let you know.

Hi,

I am afraid you need to change the framework .NET Core to .NET Standard. The dlls which would work with Azure Function are placed in the folder .NETStardard2.0.

We had it working using .NET core with the manual version posted in this thread.

Hi,

On NuGet, the dlls will be installed according to its framework and folder. We placed the dlls which works for Azure Function in the folder .NETStardard2.0. If the framework of your project is .NET Core, it will install the dlls in the folder .NETCore2.0 while the dlls in it doesn't work with Azure Function. So I suggest you change the framework when installing via NuGet. Otherwise, you need to manually reference the dlls.
