IronPdfConnectionConfiguration

Configures the connection to IronPdfEngine for distributed/remote PDF processing. Use static factory methods for common configurations.

IronPdfEngine can run locally, in Docker, or on remote servers for scalable PDF generation across distributed architectures.

Example - Configuration scenarios:

// Docker container (common for microservices):
IronPdf.Setting.Connection = IronPdfConnectionConfiguration.Docker;
// Remote server with custom port:
IronPdf.Setting.Connection = IronPdfConnectionConfiguration.RemoteServer(
"https://pdf-server.mycompany.com:8080");
// .NET Framework with custom channel:
IronPdf.Setting.Connection = IronPdfConnectionConfiguration.NetFrameworkChannel(
"192.168.1.100:33350");
// Custom gRPC channel with metadata:
var channel = GrpcChannel.ForAddress("https://secure-server.com");
var metadata = new Metadata { { "Authorization", "Bearer token123" } };
IronPdf.Setting.Connection = IronPdfConnectionConfiguration.WithCustomChannel(
channel, metadata);

IronPdfConnectionType

Specifies how IronPDF connects to the rendering engine (IronPdfEngine). Choose based on your deployment architecture.

Example - Configure connection:

// Local executable (default):
Installation.ConnectionType = IronPdfConnectionType.LocalExecutable;
// Docker container:
IronPdf.Setting.Connection = IronPdfConnectionConfiguration.Docker;
// Remote server:
IronPdf.Setting.Connection = IronPdfConnectionConfiguration.RemoteServer(
"https://my-ironpdf-server.com:33350");
