I downloaded the trial version for .NET pd4ml.pro.trial.dotnet20.351.
It is running fine when I debug it.
But after I deploy it to the server to let the manager decide if this is what we will purchase. It give error "The file is damaged and could not be repaired".
Is this a license issue or something else?
If it is a license issue, how can I get the trial version in our server for a certain time, so the decision making people can review it?

Thanks

This is most likely happening because there is some stray HTML being output after/before the PDF stream is getting created.

I would recommend to save PDF to the hard drive and to open it with a text editor. Make sure it starts with %PDF-1.4 and ends with %%EOF

It is running fine in my computer though.
Our application need to pop up this PDF report in the window, and let user to save it to their disks if they want to.
Below is the code I use to convet a html string to pdf:

...

MemoryStream mstr = new MemoryStream(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strHtml));
pd4ml.render(mstr, outfile);

below is the value of strHtml in debug mode:
