Considerations for Windows Vista and Windows 2008 Server with Microsoft Office 2007

Under Windows Vista and Windows 2008 Server with Microsoft Office 2007, when using the Office-specific PrintJob classes from a system service or a web service, an user must be logged in to the machine at all times. This requirement applies to ASP and ASP.NET alike.

If an user cannot be logged in to the machine for some reason, then the following alternative approaches can be considered:

• Consider running Windows 2003 Server, which does not have this requirement.
• Downgrade to Office 2003, which does not have this requirement when running under Windows Vista or Windows 2008 Server.
• GenericPrintJob works under Windows Vista and Windows 2008 Server with Office 2007 even when no user is logged in, although it does not offer any of the advanced Office-specific settings. It will not convert Microsoft Word hyperlinks and bookmarks into PDF either.
