In Windows

Following is a description of the available options that can be used to start the webPDF server in Windows:

caution

Do not start the webPDF server as a service and as a normal program at the same time. The server will be accessing port 8080 in both cases, which will result in a conflict.

Installation as a Windows service​

If you are running webPDF as a service (a selection made during installation), you can manage the running service by going to "Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services."

Starting

Stopping

Installation as a normal Windows program​

Starting​

If you have installed webPDF as a normal application, then you have two different options:

  1. Starting webPDF from the installation directory

  1. Starting webPDF from the program group

note

If you start webPDF as a normal application, you will need to run the start program with administrator privileges. Otherwise, it will not be possible for the configuration or logs in C:\ProgramData\webPDF to be changed.

Stopping​

You can stop the server by using the "Ctrl-C" shortcut in the application window. The server will shut down and the window will close.
