I'm currently working on an ASP.NET application which is intend to convert .doc, .docx, .xls and .xlsx files to PDF. We are attempting to do this through a third party library which makes use of OpenOffice to achieve this.
I have deployed a small console application which works correctly however I have also deployed an ASP.NET application which uses the same code but cannot convert office documents to PDFs. To me this indicates some configuration issue on the server but I have no idea what.
I've looked at the event log on the server and have found and entry with the message:
The server {82154420-0FBF-11D4-8313-005004526AB4} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.
I can confirm that the GUID in that message is for OpenOffice on the server. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to configure IIS to get this to work?
