Hi,

I'm investigating some performance issues on my server when converting html documents to PDFs. I'm seeing a bunch of busy Adobe dlls and also seeing PDFs appearing in c:tmp and then disappearing. Does PrinceXML create temporary PDFs in c:tmp and then copy them across to the specified output file destination once they are complete?

Thanks,

Mark

No, the PDF is written directly to the intended destination file or stream. Writing to a temporary file would be awkward and error prone. Also, Prince does not use any Adobe DLLs during its operation. Are you running Acrobat or some other Adobe tool?

Thanks, that's helpful information in our diagnosis, especially knowing that Prince doesn't use Adobe dlls. We can look into what else is kicking off those processes. The server is mainly running a SQL Server based ERP system so I suspect that is the culprit.
