Hi,
We are experiencing some problem while using doc2pdf.exe.
Our Java web application is running doc2pdf.exe to convert pptx to pdf. Below is our sample codes,
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("doc2pdf.exe –i C:\\input.pptx –o C:\\output.pdf", null, "C:\\Program Files\\docPrint Pro v6.0");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line = null;
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}
Our web application runs in a Tomcat Application Server. When we starts the Tomcat Application Server by right-clicking and "Run as administrator", the command runs perfectly.
However, when we runs the Tomcat Application Server as a Windows Service, using Local System account, doc2pdf.exe hangs.
Can you advise us on problems?
Thanks.
Customer
