[ExternalException (0x80004005): A generic error occurred in GDI+.]
System.Drawing.Image.Save(Stream stream, ImageCodecInfo encoder, EncoderParameters encoderParams) +615257

I have a webpage in which a pdf is converted to png, and using the response.outputstream
it is displayed. when i run this on my local machine is works fine. but when i run the same code on server is throws this exception.

my question is , where i could look in for error. as there is no inner exception or any other information provided. only clue is that it’s happening on Image.Save , but the same code works perfectly fine on my local machine , then y is it not working on production???

    I changed my Image over load method to

    Image.Save(context.HttpContext.Response.OutputStream, ImageCodecInfo encoder, EncoderParameters encoderParams)

    earlier i was using Image.Save(context.HttpContext.Response.OutputStream,ImageFormat)

    after changing the overload method for save , it fixed the error.
