Blink Binaries (AKA Portable Chromium) Are No Longer Included — How to Resolve This?

Blink binaries are no longer bundled with Document Converter. There are two workarounds.

1. Installing Chrome

Install the Chrome application on the conversion service machine and configure the web service to use the Chrome application:

<!-- It's possible to use the version of the Chrome application that's installed systemwide.
      This configuration only has an effect if the `HTMLConverterFullFidelity.HtmlRenderingEngine` configuration is set to `Chromium`. Accepted values:
      * Chrome — The software will try to detect the installed instance of Chrome and will use it for converting HTML documents into PDF.
      * Leave empty to use the default Blink engine bundled with Document Converter. -->
<add key="HTMLConverterFullFidelity.UseInstalledChromiumBrowser" value="Chrome"/>
<!-- It's possible to use a custom version of portable Chromium stored on the local file system.
      This only has an effect if `HTMLConverterFullFidelity.HtmlRenderingEngine` is set to `Chromium` and `HTMLConverterFullFidelity.UseInstalledChromiumBrowser` is left empty.
      Enter the full path of the folder containing the custom portable Chromium executable. -->
<add key="HTMLConverterFullFidelity.ChromiumPath" value=""/>

2. Downloading Chromium Portable

Download Chromium portable from our website and configure the web service to use it.
