Using pdftk.exe from ASP.NET application
I have a web app that has a grid and you can select multpile PDFs from the grid and hit a button and pdftk.exe will run and merge these files and display them within a browser. I have this working when I test it on my local machine but when I publish and hit the button, with multple PDFs selected, it times out. I have error handling and it does not fall into it and I am also writing a log file and it is stopping on the line of code where the pdftk.exe tool is executing. Here is the line that it hangs at.,..
Dim p As New ProcessStartInfo(HttpConte
& "\pdftk.exe", rstr.ToString)
HttpContext.Current.Server
'process
p.UseShellExecute = False
p.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
Process.Start(p) ------HANGS HERE
Can someone please help me with this because the metowrk guy is of no help at all and I need to get this out to production

Is the version of pdftk you have running locally the same version on the box you "published" and are running it from ?

yes it is inlcuded it in the application.
And p.UseShellExecute = False is set to True, I was just trying to test if that was the issue but when False nothing happened.
