Why does Rotativa always generate my login page? Why is it slow?

Question

I was using this Rotativa 1.6.4 code example to generate a PDF from a page in my .NET MVC 5 app.

public ActionResult PrintIndex()
{
    var a = new ActionAsP         


        

Answer 1

ViewAsPdf solved my problem. ActionAsPdf generating error or generating login page.

        Dictionary cookieCollection = new Dictionary();
        foreach (var key in Request.Cookies.AllKeys)
        {
            cookieCollection.Add(key, Request.Cookies.Get(key).Value);
        }
        var abc = new ViewAsPdf("invoice", _customers)
        {
            FileName = "Name.pdf",
            Cookies = cookieCollection,
            FormsAuthenticationCookieName = FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName
        };
        var byteArray = abc.BuildPdf(ControllerContext);
        var fileStream = new FileStream(Server.MapPath(subPath) + "/abc.pdf", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
        fileStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
        fileStream.Close();
