Errors running on Azure - can't print - Not using FREE service plan

[Greg]

Hi..

I'm trying to print on Azure.. get the following error. I've read that you can't use a FREE plan cause it doesn't support GDI+.

I have a standard plan - paying.. but I can't print from the site (on Azure). Works great locally.

Any ideas?  thx

Hi Greg,

The exception is thrown by System.Drawing.Graphics.GetHdc(), which suggests that it is related to GDI restriction.
The issue is known and occurs only in Free and Shared plans according to ReportViewer Control on Azure Web Sites - Export to PDF not working MSDN thread.

The Printing functionality and PDF export work correctly in our Html5 demo hosted on Azure - please, test on https://telerikreporting.azurewebsites.net/.

We are not using shared/free but still experiencing same error

Hi Billy,

What Azure plan do you use? Does it have a fully functional GDI?

Which Reporting version do you use?

Hi Jonathan,

In order to render reports, the engine uses the GDI+ library, which is currently available in Basic and higher App Service plans. Even these implementations have some GDI API restrictions that affect the image rendering. For that reason, I am afraid that Telerik reports cannot run in Free and Shared service plans.

For more information, please, refer to Preview reports using REST Service deployed in Azure article.
