Run Office2PDF as a service

Post by ces »

Using Windows 2008 R2 (x64); PDF-XChange 4.0 Converter (Standard); 4.0 Build 187 printer.
I'm looking to run Office2PDF on watched folders when nobody is logged on to the computer (it is a server).

Because I operate from multiple sites, running Office2PDF on the client computer would be problematic - I am not logged in on the same PC every day.
Prefer not to have to buy multiple copies of PDF-XChange for a single user because I travel, but the PCs I use do not.

Hi ces,

Office2PDF is not designed to run as a service. You can try it but it's not supported.

Perhaps, since you are running 2008 Server you should look into RDP and a full remote session.
