l
The WordToPDF task relies on MS-Word to perform its functions. However, MS-Word some-
times displays confirmation dialogs when it encounters a situation requiring user input. Such dia-
log windows cannot be displayed when PReS Workflow runs as a service. As a result, the
process may seem to hang because it is awaiting user input on a window that isn't displayed. The
only way to resolve this situation is to kill the PReS Workflow service. To avoid these types of
issues from occurring, it is imperative that the configuration for the WordToPDF task be tested
thoroughly in Debug mode prior to sending it into production. In particular, the connection to the
database must be validated.
l
The WordToPDF task requires the default system printer to be set to a queue that uses the Plan-
etPress printer driver. If you change the default system printer or if you import a PReS Workflow
configuration file from another PC that includes an instance of the WordToPDF task, you must
review the properties of each instance of the task and click OK to validate its contents. A new
printer queue will be created if required and the default printer will be reset properly. If you do not
perform these steps, running the configuration will result in several error messages being logged
and the task failing.
l
The preferences for the PrintShop Mail Web connector may not be saved properly if you set them
and close the PReS Workflow Configuration tool without first sending the configuration to the ser-
vice. Make sure you send the configuration before exiting from the Configuration tool.
l
With Outlook 2010, the Send Email functionality requires that the service be run with admin-
istrative credentials in the domain. In addition, both Outlook and the PReS Workflow Con-
figuration tool must *not* be running while the service is.
l
The Microsoft Office 2010/2013/2016 and 365 line of products has not been certified for use with
PReS Workflow. Some of its products may not be compatible with the connectors included.
l
Barcodes produced in printer-centric mode may have a slightly different aspect from those pro-
duced in Optimized PostScript mode. This is due to the different types of 3rd party libraries being
used to generate the barcodes. However, all barcodes scan correctly.
