Scheduled task issues, how to convert office files (Word DOC documents) to PDF files from Scheduled task?

Hello,

I've read the KB articles about dcomcnfg and set those permissions, rebooted. No luck.

Batch script runs fine and makes a PDF from Word documents when ran manually. Run as a scheduled task though and it just hangs 'Running', no output in a log, and no PDFs appear.

"D:\Program Files (x86)\docPrint Pro v7.0\doc2pdf.exe" -f 9 -i %InvoiceBaseDir%Temp-print-queue\20*.doc -o %InvoiceBaseDir%PDFs\

Got it working!

Unticked the 'only run if user logged on' so it popped up the cmd window.
It then asked for the purchase key (even though I had done this already).

Put it back to run even if not logged on, now works 🙂

Thanks
