This example shows how to make Microsoft Word ready for server use. The other office products can also be configured just the same way.

All you need to do here is to make sure that there is no pop-up dialogs from Office products during PDF conversion.

Microsoft Word Setup:

Note: If you have previously modified Microsoft Word setting through Distributed COM Configuration Properties, you need to set it back to the orignal setting (especially in the Identity tab, it must be set to The launching user) . If you are not sure, we recommend re-installing Microsoft Word.

1. Log in to the computer as easyPdfUser (or the account you created in easyPDF SDK Loader Setup section).
2. Start Microsoft Word. This forces the application to register itself.
3. Close all the pop-ups that appear during Word initialization.
   
   
   
   
4. Hide the Office Assistant.
   
   
   
   
5. For Microsoft Word 2003, configure the Customer Feedback Options (and also the other service options as necessary).
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. Exit Microsoft Word.

Performance consideration:

If you have any 3rd party Word macro or add-ins, we recommend that you remove them because they often add an extra overhead to Microsoft Word and slows down the whole PDF conversion process.
