How to Make an Engineering Support Request for IronPDF

We appreciate your taking the time to help us improve IronPDF and resolve any issue you may be experiencing. The vast majority of our features and updates are driven by customer requests, and we consider software development a two-way conversation between our customers and our developers.

To provide support, our engineering team will need to be able to efficiently replicate an issue and create regression tests. Most issues we see are platform or runtime-specific. As such, we need to be provided with extremely concise information.

Please send all support requests to support@ironsoftware.com.

A Concise, Clear Description of the Issue

A good technical report must include enough information to reproduce the issue. Imagine you are reporting the issue to a colleague or posting on Stack Overflow.

A bug report should contain:

  • A clear description of the symptoms experienced and any ideas you may have regarding their cause.
  • Log files (see below)
  • Environment: IronPDF version, Node.js version, OS, and exact cloud environment (if applicable)

Please include as many of the following as possible to prioritize your ticket:

  • Example project that fully reproduces the issue (see below)
  • A Stack Overflow style code snippet (please do not screenshot code)
  • Screenshots of symptoms or exceptions
  • Exception message text (error + stack trace)
  • Input parameters and assets: URL, HTML, HTML file, image, PDF, CSS, etc.

How to Enable IronPDF Logs

Place the following code before any other IronPDF calls:

const { IronPdfGlobalConfig } = require('@ironsoftware/ironpdf');

const config = IronPdfGlobalConfig.getConfig();
config.licenseKey = process.env.IRONPDF_LICENSE_KEY;
config.logPath = '/tmp/ironpdf.log';
config.debug = true;
await IronPdfGlobalConfig.setConfig(config);
const { IronPdfGlobalConfig } = require('@ironsoftware/ironpdf');

const config = IronPdfGlobalConfig.getConfig();
config.licenseKey = process.env.IRONPDF_LICENSE_KEY;
config.logPath = '/tmp/ironpdf.log';
config.debug = true;
await IronPdfGlobalConfig.setConfig(config);
JAVASCRIPT

Attach the generated log file to your support request.

How to Attach an Example Project

An example project that accurately replicates an entire issue in isolation enables our engineers to simply and swiftly recognize and understand an issue.

Our preferred format is a zipped, simple, standalone Node.js console project:

  • Please enable full sharing when sending a Google Drive or Dropbox link.

Please also include:

  • Input files (working and non-working), including PDFs, HTML, referenced assets (CSS, images)
  • Output PDFs (if applicable) and the expected output
