1.3.2 - Server mode not functioning as a service?

I have a PDFCreator 1.3.2 installed on a print server running Windows Server 2003, the users are in a Citrix environment, however once I log out of the server, the application is no longer running and users print jobs are no longer processed even though it was installed in Server mode.

Logging into the server/opening PDFCreator again resumes the print queue.

I since created a service for this, however, I have had no luck having it work properly. If it does work, the service account used to run the service becomes the 'Author' and the original author of the file is forgotten, causing the exports to go to a non existent folder

I have achieved this before, however with version pre 1.0, has anyone encountered such issues or overcome them?

 

Cheers,

Do you use the same account for the service and to set the settings? For example, if you are logged in as user "Administrator" then the service account must be the same.
