And what did the winnovative customer support people tell you when you asked them?

They said 'You have to pass a baseURL parameter to GetPdfBytesFromHtmlString method.'
where as I am using strBody with strings being concatenated.like
string strBody = "<html><head><link href='http://www.ifso.com/css/style-pdf.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' /><meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=UTF-8' /></head>" + "<body><div id='Main_div'> <div id='Main_div1'><div id='Main_div2'>";
strBody += "<table width='980' height='730' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>";
strBody += "<tr><td colspan='2' class='Heading'>";
strBody += "INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION FOR THE SURGERY </td></tr>";
strBody += "<tr><td colspan='2' class='Heading1'>";
strBody += "The purposes of the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity <br /> encourage research and the exchange of scientific information";
strBody += "in the field of obesity and surgery of obesity and metabolic disorders.</td></tr>";
strBody += "<tr><td height='130' colspan='2' align='center'><img src='http://www.ifso.com/images/membership-certificate-abi-chahine-logo.jpg' width='136' height='124' /></td></tr>";
strBody += "<tr><td colspan='2' class='certificate'>";
strBody += "This certifies that</td></tr>";
strBody += "<tr><td colspan='2' class='logo_header'>";
strBody += "</table>";
strBody += "</div></div></div></body></html>";
Its fine in local system...Its generating fine..but unable to get images and logos from server..

Okay.... so why are you unable to follow their directions? Why are you asking here at all? Don't you think you would get a better response if you asked people that actually know about this product and then try what they said to do?

This is the best i had ever used till now

[from google]

Here is some code(vb.net)
‘url of the page to be printed
fileToPrintURL = “www.somesite.com/pagename”
‘this will be the name of the file “.pdf” generated one
Dim filename As String = "Page" + TimeOfDay.Ticks.ToString() + ".pdf"
‘shared folder with write permissions and file name to be generated at which place
Dim filenameWithSharedPAth As String = Common.PDFSharedFolder + filename
‘create an object of process
Dim process As New Process
‘set some initails
process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
process.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
‘now the path of the exe downloaded from the link above
process.StartInfo.FileName = Server.MapPath("~/bin/PrintPDF/") + "wkhtmltopdf.exe"
‘and some arguments (based on req) as I need to pass it from authentication so user name and password
process.StartInfo.Arguments = "--username " + username + " --password " + password + " """ + fileToPrintURL + """ " + """" + filenameWithSharedPAth + """"
‘again some setting
process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = True
‘start the process
process.Start()
‘end the process
process.WaitForExit()
