PDFCreator as a service?

Hi,

found this excellent app a few days ago and finds it VERY usefull.

However I would like to see a new version that can be installed as a service. I found a thread in this forum and it seems it is possible - but not intended.

Please let me know if it is possible - either now or in a future release.

Cheers,

David

are you sure?

I have just installed server mode and no service...
would be nice but no

Windows XP command run on the machine PDFCreator (server) was installed on

sc create PDFCreator binpath= c:\\progra~1\\PDFCreator\\PDFcreator.exe type= share start= auto depend= spooler

(note - there must be a 's p a c e' entered after each equal sign or the command will return an error)


I managed to create PDFCreator.exe as a service using the Windows Sc.exe command (spooler is a dependency) with success however the service will not start automatically.

Error 1053: service did not respond in a timely fashion

Have attempted using the machines "local service" account (default) and my own domain admin accounts for starting the service. Neither worked.

Are there any parameters that should be used when starting PDFCreator.exe as a service? Are there any additional dependencies needed also?

pdfcreator as service is still there: run the setup program and at Type of Installation page select "Server". :)
