Thread was being aborted while generating PDF

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi,
We are trying to generate 20 MB document (.doc or .docx having around 5500 pages of text content) to PDF using Aspose.Words and it throwing an “Thread was being aborted.” exception.
Our application is in three tier architecture and UI layer is calling middle tier web service to generate the PDF file. We are getting this error while generating the PDF file. Could you please look in to this issue?
We are using Aspose.Words version 9.5.0.0

Hi Balaji,
Thanks for your request. The problem probably occurs because timeout of operation. Converting such large document to PDF is a quite time consuming operation. You can find more information here:

We created a sample web application to generate PDF documents from 20 MB word document.
We deployed this sample application in our local machine which is running in IIS 5.0 and Windows XP and it successfully generated the PDF document with in 3.5 mins
When we deployed in our servers which is running IIS6.0 and window 2003, the PDF generation is not completed and we stopped after 20-25 mins.
Thanks,

We have deployed the same application in IIS 7 too and it works on IIS 7.
Unfortunately we are not in a stage to upgrade our servers to Window Server 2008/IIS 7.
Word Saving to PDF fails only IIS 6. In both IIS 5.1 and IIS 7, entire conversion takes place less than 3.5 minutes.
Thanks

Hello,
Thank you for your inquiry.
I do not think that it somehow depends on the library Aspose.Words.
More than confident that the problem in setting up IIS6.0. Try looking set Application Pool, may be necessary to increase the size of the pool. Did you try to convert other files of different size. What were the results on time?
