Printing from a windows service application

Post by I-Vladimir »

Hi,
I have an application, running as a service under LocalSystem account.
This service is using another application to generate reports. Report printing can be configured programmatically.
Is it possible to use PDF-XChange drivers to print under LocalSystem account? Is it possible to deploy automatically with no system restart?

Thanks,
Vladimir

Yes, PDF-XChange driver can work under LocalSystem account, but you need to configure to ensure that no window (like Save As dialog) is displayed - and probably not to open newly created PDFs.
Is it possible to deploy automatically with no system restart?
Yes, you can use MSI installer for the driver to deploy.
