How to upload custom fonts to Azure AppService and use them in the PDF reporting?

I need to create a pdf with the following font:

Font Architect Daughter (by Google)

When the form is submitted, a PDF is created, but the Google font would not be included in the process of creating the PDF.

Solution in the server:

  1. Install the form in the Application Server, the ttf file is attached to this ticket
  2. Go to IIS Manager
  3. In the server root, select the option MIME Types
  4. Add the following extensions:

a)

Extension: .ttf

Type: application/octet-stream

b)

Extension: .woff

Type: application/font-woff

c)

Extension: .woff2

Type: application/font-woff2

  1. Make sure the .ttf file is deployed with the application, in Test case it is located in the folder: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\RecoveryMemberTest\Content\Fonts

    Hi @KarimRuiz ,

    App Services are sandboxes and certain workflows therefore aren't supported such as PDF generation. To get around this issue, you can deploy your app as a docker container image with the fonts you need installed on it.

    Regards,
