Right PDF Server Console settings  provide options to set up log files, conversion settings, clients IP, and the max number of jobs to run at a time.


General settings

  • Automatically start conversion when Windows starts. Launch PDF Server automatically upon Windows startup.

  • Return document processing details to client. Send the conversion information back to the client during operation. This setting is on by default.

  • Allow _ concurrent jobs. Restrict the number of jobs on PDF Server at a given time. Your hardware specs determine conversion performance.

  • Server IP. Set the IP address of the current server. This setting is disabled if the server has already been activated.

  • Create new file. Set how often a log file is created. Choose every day to create a log file every day, or when file size is to create one when the log file reaches the size you specified in the _ MB field. The _ MB setting is disabled if you choose every day.

  • Log file folder. Set where to save log files. The log file name is PDFServer_#.log by default.


Advanced settings

  • Work folder. The work folder stores all files that have been uploaded, which may occupy a large disk space. When available disk space drops below 200 MB, there will be a warning message in the status bar.   

  • Clients may customize conversion settings. Apply conversion settings of each client to the result PDF document. This option is disabled when the server has been activated.

  • Clients must use conversion settings specified by server. Different from the above option, this applies Server’s conversion settings to the result PDF document. This option is disabled when the server has been activated.

  • Edit conversion settings…. Configure Server’s conversion settings. See Conversion settings.

  • Allow _ clients to connect to server simultaneously. Set the number of clients allowed to connect to the server at a time. The default is 100.

  • Allow all clients to connect to server. Remove restriction on the number of connections. Use the Except window to add the IP addresses you would like to block.

  • Block all clients. Allow only certain users to access the server. Use the Add… and Remove buttons to edit the list of IP addresses that are allowed to connect.
