Run Adobe Reader DC (Standard/Pro) from IIS-hosted web service

[andrey_evseenko]

Hello community!

We develop web-service that hosts on IIS and prints complex PDF (XFA-formatted) via printer.

We think about buying Standard/Pro DC products for using them with a web-service, but now we have a problem:

before printing pdf-file it should be rendered by PDF reader and after sent to printer - Adobe Reader DC cannot be opened from web-service hosted on IIS because it starts under special session with "SessionID = 0" that cannot interact with a desktop. However AcroRd32.exe process starts but freezes and then nothing happens.

Can we run Reader/Standard/Pro in a silent-mode for rendering pdf somehow - without desktop interacting (maybe some hidden start-key)?

You can't use this products on a server.

This is much more than a technical issue, it is also a licensing one. I think you may find  an XFA printing solution in the LiveCycle product suite.
