How to convert from Office documents to PDF files from scheduled task?

Posted on Author VeryDOC / 976 Views

VeryDoc:

We have doc2any v2.2.0.1 and we got a new server (windows server 2016 w/MS Word 2016 only installed and all Office Tools). I am having trouble getting doc2any to run on this new server as a scheduled task.

When I run the following command using cmd using "Run as Administrator", it converts the file:

D:\doc2any_cmd\doc2any.exe "-$" "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" "D:\Scheduler\GradConvertUpload\Resume.docx" "D:\Scheduler\GradConvertUpload\Resume.pdf"

I can also execute the entire program that would have run as a scheduled task if I run it manually using the method above. However, when I try to run as a scheduled task, doc2any just hangs after briefly seeing doc2rtf.dll.

Is there anything I need to make sure of when I run the scheduled task (runs as a different user, but should also be an admin)?

Thanks,
Customer
