Hi

I'm just evaluating your MVCtoPDF component for our company.
One of our requirements is to combine several ActionResults of our MVC Web-Application into one PDF. The page orientation and size may vary between the different views.
As I read from other posts it is not possible to change page-size or orientation within one pdf-object. So what we try to do is to convert each view according our needs to a pdf and combine all pdf's in the end.

Currently we do that with the following code:

public ActionResult Booklet(int id)
{
EO.Pdf.PdfDocument doc = new EO.Pdf.PdfDocument();

EO.Pdf.HtmlToPdf.Options.PageSize = new System.Drawing.SizeF(EO.Pdf.PdfPageSizes.A4.Width, EO.Pdf.PdfPageSizes.A4.Height);
EO.Pdf.HtmlToPdf.ConvertUrl(Url.Action("ActionA", "ControllerA", new { @id = id }, Request.Url.Scheme), doc);

EO.Pdf.HtmlToPdf.Options.PageSize = new System.Drawing.SizeF(EO.Pdf.PdfPageSizes.A4.Height, EO.Pdf.PdfPageSizes.A4.Width);
EO.Pdf.HtmlToPdf.ConvertUrl(Url.Action("ActionB", "ControllerA", new { @id = id }, Request.Url.Scheme), doc);

EO.Pdf.HtmlToPdf.Options.PageSize = new System.Drawing.SizeF(EO.Pdf.PdfPageSizes.A3.Height, EO.Pdf.PdfPageSizes.A3.Width);
EO.Pdf.HtmlToPdf.ConvertUrl(Url.Action("ActionC", "ControllerC", new { @id = id }, Request.Url.Scheme), doc);

//Save the PDF file
var ms = new MemoryStream();
doc.Save(ms);
ms.Position = 0;

return new FileStreamResult(ms, "application/pdf")
{
FileDownloadName = "test.pdf"
};
}

Basicly we create full-path URL with the Url.Action-Method and pass it to the HtmlToPDF.ConvertUrl-Method.
Generally the code works fine, but since the called Actions are only visible to logged-in users the only output visible in the PDF is the login screen. It seems that the current active login-session is not valid when the ConvertUrl-Method is calling the passed URL.

Is there another way to call the Action-Methods without loosing the login-session or do we have to use a total different approach?

Any help would be very appreciated.
