| PDFCreator - Installation on XC2 Server |
How To Document
|
| This describes the steps to install PDFCreator on XC2 Server. This allows creating PDFs for publishing with XC2 Web |
|
| |
|
Printing to PDF from XC2 Server
|
|
|
We are in the process of adding functions to "Print" aka "Save" documents as PDF files that are generated on XC2 Server.
The first in this endeavor is to be able to print a completed Backflow Test Report from the XC2 Web system.
This, of course, only works if you have the XC2 Web option installed.
Over time, we will be implementing additional functions for printing PDFs on XC2 Server.
Please follow these directions carefully.
These settings and configurations are critical.
This also involves setting up the "Service" that XC2 Server runs in the Server.
