pdf creation on windows server 2016

[shikhaOT]

Hi,

I have Adobe Standard 11 on windows serevr 2016. I am using Adobe PDF printer to print the pdf. I have mentioned PDF out directory in the printing preferences.

Now  when i am trying to create pdf, the pdf instead of getting created in the directory that i have mentioned, it is getting created under C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop

Strangely, if i run the command to generate the PDF through command mode, it takes the correct path but when the same command is run through my app, the pdf gets generated at C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop

My question is :

1. Is it happening weirdly because of Adobe 11 on Windows server 2016?

2. From where this path C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop is coming?

Thanks

Acrobat is not for server use.

So does that mean i cannot use Adobe PDF printer on any windows server machine?

I have been using Adobe PDF printer all these time on windows 2008/2012 servers successfully!

Thanks,

What it really means is that you can run / use Acrobat on a system running Windows Server but only as a locally logged-in user. You cannot share out the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance to create PDF from other systems.

Thanks for your reply. I am firing the command through Admin user of the windows server.

I have mentioned the location in Adobe PDF printer preferences as "C:\CTS\PDF_out" but the pdf is getting generated at C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop

Is this a logged in user with a person initiating each process that results in printing, in an interactive session?
