The PDF Web Service program has now been installed. You must now configure it to work with infoRouter.
Configuring the PDF Conversion Web Service:
1) Create a folder called "C:\temp". Make sure that the "Network Service" account has "Full Control"
permissions to this path.
If you choose not to create this temporary path on the root of the C: drive, create this path
elsewhere.
However, if you chose to create this path elsewhere, you must edit the "web.config" file located in
the installation path of the PDF Conversion Web Service and make sure the path of the temporary is
correctly indicated in the following section.
<appSettings>
<add key="TempPath" value="c:\temp"/>
</appSettings>
2) Go to the infoRouter Web Server and navigate to "<infoRouter installation path>\site" path.
3) Edit the "web.config" file with the notepad.
4) Edit the line referring to "CONVERSIONSERVICE_PDF" and change the value so that it points to the
virtual directory you created in setup program. In this example it is called “PDFConversionWS”.
Syntax :
<add key="CONVERSIONSERVICE_PDF" value="http://<servername>/<virtual directory name>/service.asmx" />
Example:
<add key="CONVERSIONSERVICE_PDF" value="http://pdfserver/irpdfservice/service.asmx" />
In the example above, the name of the server on which you installed the web service is called “pdfserver”
Similarly, the name you used for the virtual directory is “irpdfservice”
