SelectPdf HtmlToImage throwing "Conversion error: Unknown error"

I am using SelectPDF to generate pdfs from a cshtml template. My PDF generates locally, but when on production I get an error.

Stack trace: at SelectPdf.HtmlToImage.?(String A_0, String A_1, String A_2, ?[]& A_3, ?& A_4)\r\n at SelectPdf.HtmlToPdf.?(String A_0, String A_1, String A_2, String A_3, Boolean A_4)\r\n at SelectPdf.HtmlToPdf.ConvertHtmlString(String htmlString)\r\n at Test.GenerateSelectPDF(ReportObj report)\r\n at Test.ReportsController.d__6.MoveNext()

I've ensured that the dll, Select.Pdf.dll and Select.Html.dep are in my bin folder along with Select.Pdf.xml and Select.Tools.dep.

Since I can generate the same report locally I think this is a configuration issue.

I've experienced a similar issue: System.Exception: Conversion failure error 5.

Regarding the documentation - Select.Html.dep missed execute permissions. I've added execute permissions for IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool (change user if your app is not running under default pool) and that resolved the problem.

Check the execution by increasing the MaxPageLoadTime property of the converter (HTMLToPDF object)

By default, the value is 60 seconds

Example:

converter.Options.MaxPageLoadTime = 240;
