I have Ghostscript installed and the printer so I can SaveAs PDF! from the IDE and standard apps. From within IIS I get a zero byte file.

I wrote an IIS extension in C that uses PBNI to allow me to run PB code directly from a PBL within IIS. I am trying to save a report to PDF so I can then read it into a blob and return it to the browser. I am suspecting a permissions issue. I am guessing that deploying a .Net component to IIS would have the same issue.

Hi Roland;

The permissions issue is what I found as well when trying to create a PDF from a PB Classic based Web Service under IIS. I got around the problem in my Web Service framework by using a PowerShell command to shell out from underneath IIS in order to make this feature work.

BTW: I tried all sorts of Application Pool combinations as wel with various permissions - to no avail. Only the PowerShell approach worked for me.
