Running in tomcat service in Windows 2012

[dosi...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I am using the library for converting word documents into pdf. With the Desktop folder created it works well for Windows 2008. However, the solution does not work in Windows 2012. The process to start word itself times out in Windows 2012. Increasing the time out also does not help. Temporarily, I have started the application from startup Tomcat script so as to avoid this issue. But what would be a permanent resolution for this issue in Windows 2012?

Hei, did you consider the advice given on documents4j.com under "Running documents4j application as Windows service"?

Cheers, Rafael

Have already tried it. Does not work in Windows 2012. With Windows 2008, works fine.

There is probably some trick to get Word working as a service on Windows 2012 that differs to that of Windows 2008. Normally, the issue is that the service user is lacking some folders that Word expects that exist for "regular" users. I have no experience with Windows 2012, unfortunately. But I am sure there is a way.
