Startup.cs:

 services.AddJsReport(new LocalReporting()
            .UseBinary(JsReportBinary.GetBinary())
            .KillRunningJsReportProcesses()
            .AsUtility()
            .Create());

Exception: jsreport.Local.JsReportBinaryException: Error rendering report: instance has been daemonized and initialized successfully (pid: 5596)rendering has finished with errors: A critical error occurred while trying to execute the render command (2).

I tried to change timeout to 100000ms but no success. It works locally and on Windows Server 2012 normally.

Could you try to install on that server normal full jsreport and check if pdf print works there for you?

It looks the chrome.exe process is somehow blocked on your server. Not sure what it can cause.

I'm actually trying this approach now but no success yet. Jsreport can be installed but I have a lot of errors.

It's saying I don't have puppetteer:

PS D:\jsreportapp> jsreport start

When I try to install as a service:

PS D:\jsreportapp> jsreport win-install
Platform is win32
To install app as windows service you need to have a "start" script or a "main" field in package.json file

I'm afraid later nodejs doesn't work on windows server 2008 so jsreport doesn't as well.
