Hi there,

We are using EO pdf for our .net MVC4.5 project. We have a session variable Session["ScriptTimeout"] set with the current DateTime when the view is refreshed. The sole purpose of this is to change the version number to the reference of our JavaScript. (similar approach can be seen here)

When the user refresh, we check if it has passed 5 minutes from the time in the session variable.
If 5 minutes passed, we set Session["ScriptTimeout"] = DateTime.UtcNow.AddMinutes(5)
otherwise, we do nothing

We do not check the session variable when the user post to the print controller method.
Here's the problem:
As long as we assigned some value to the session variable, it took 2 minutes to render the pdf file.


When no session variable is set, everything goes under 10 seconds.

Please advice.

We are not using HtmlToPdf.ConvertHtml/ConvertUrl. Our view is rendered mainly using AngularJS. In both cases, the pdf file are rendered correctly.

We're using the MVCToPDF feature.

At the controller, we decorated the post method this way:

[RenderAsPDF]
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult PrintPdf(SomeDto printData){
// some EO pdf settings
....
return View("PdfView", printData);
}

Hi there,

I've spent too much time trouble shoot this issue. Instead of session, I used cookie to get around it. I suspect that it could be related to the security verification.

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
Loki
