To configure PDFCreator Server open the PDFCreator Server GUI application. PDFCreator Server runs as a Windows service and you can use the GUI application to start and stop the service. Currently the service is started under the local system account by default. This can cause permission problems when attempting to write to UNC paths. We recommend to create a new user account to run the PDFCreator service with sufficient permissions for the target output folder.
In order to use the PDFCreator Server, you need to configure at least one print queue with a target location for the created files. After starting the service, it will convert all files printed to the PDFCreator Server printer using the settings from the queue.
For more information on the PDFCreator Server settings, please take a look at the PDFCreator Server Settings section.
Attention
To ensure complete functionality, please configure the service properly. See Service Configuration for all information needed.
