Before you install, read through the following information to
ensure that your installation runs smoothly:
To reduce the time of installation, install AEM forms
on JEE either by using a local copy of the installation files or
directly from the DVD. The installation could fail when AEM forms
on JEE is installed from a network.
Ensure that the installation media that you received is not
damaged. If you copy the installer media to the hard disk of your
computer, ensure that you copy the entire DVD contents on to the
hard disk.
If you downloaded the installer file set, verify its integrity
using an MD5 check sum utility. Use this utility to check the MD5
check sum values with the value displayed on the Adobe download
website. You can use a tool such as WinMD5.
To avoid installation errors, do not copy the DVD install
image to a directory path which exceeds the maximum path length
limitation. Typically, long network paths cause this error. See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247.aspx
for
more information.
You may choose to disable any on-access virus scanning software
for the duration of the installation, to improve the speed of installation
on Windows.
The turnkey installation creates the following Windows services,
which, by default, are set to run automatically on startup:
MySQL
for Adobe Experience Manager forms
JBoss for Adobe Experience Manager forms
By default, the turnkey installation places AEM forms
on JEE components in the
C:\Adobe\Adobe_Experience_Manager_forms\
directory.
Important:
If you choose another directory, do not use
the name
test
as your directory name (for example, C:\test) or the MySQL install process will fail.
By default, JBoss is installed to and runs from the
[JBoss root]
directory.
3.3.2 Disable the Windows UAC on Windows Server 2008 R2
To access the System Configuration Utility, go

Important:
The Windows User Account Control (UAC)
must remain disabled for PDF Generator to work properly. You can
run the installation and configuration process by turning on the
UAC with the Elevate without prompting option enabled. However, disable
UAC to run PDF Generator.
3.3.4 Acrobat Reader DC extensions credential
If you are installing Acrobat Reader DC extensions, ensure
that you have a valid credential and password. If you do not have
this information, contact your Adobe account representative. You
can choose to skip importing the Acrobat Reader DC extensions credential
when configuring and deploying AEM forms on JEE and install it later
using the Trust Store component in administration console.
3.3.5 Preconfigurations for PDF Generator
With native application file support, PDF Generator can
convert files from native formats such as Microsoft Word to Adobe
PDFs. Before you install PDF Generator, complete the tasks listed
below.
3.3.5.1 Installing software for native file conversions
Before you install PDF Generator, install the software
that supports the native file types for which, PDF conversion support
is required. Also, manually activate licenses for the software using
the same user account used to run the application server.
Refer and conform to the individual licensing agreement for each
native application used for conversions with AEM forms on JEE.
PDF Generator can be extended to convert these additional file
types to PDF files by using the following applications:
Microsoft Office 2007, 2010, 2013(DOC, XLS, PPT, RTF, TXT,
Microsoft Office open XML Formats)
Note:
AEM forms on JEE supports only 32-bit editions
of all the above mentioned software.
Note:
Install OpenOffice
3.3 on the server to convert the documents created in version 3.3.
On Linux platform, OpenOffice must be installed under /root user.
If OpenOffice is installed for specific users, PDFG might not be
able to convert OpenOffice documents.
You do not need to install a native software application to convert
the following native file formats:
Web files (HTML)
Print files (PS, PRN, EPS)
Image files (JPEG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, PNG)
3.3.5.2 Installing Adobe Acrobat for PDF Generator
Install Acrobat DC Pro before running the AEM forms on
JEE installer. Ensure that you launch Acrobat at least once after
installing it to avoid PDF Generator configuration issues. Dismiss
all modal dialog boxes that appear on launching Acrobat.
However,
if AEM forms on JEE is installed and Acrobat is not installed, install
Acrobat and then run the Acrobat_for_PDFG_Configuration.bat script,
located in the folder
[aem-forms root]
\pdfg_config. Otherwise,
PDF conversions may fail.
The AEM forms on JEE installer sets the
Acrobat_PATH
(case
sensitive) environment variable automatically. You can also choose
to set it manually, see
6.12.1 Setting environment variables
. Restart your application server after
setting the environment variable.
To use AES 256 encryption in AEM forms on JEE Encryption service
to encrypt a PDF document, you must obtain and install the Java
Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy
files. For Oracle JDK installed with turnkey installation, download
JCE files from Java SE Downloads. After downloading the policy file,
replace the existing local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jar files
under
[Adobe_JAVA_HOME]
/jre/lib/security folder with the
downloaded JAR files.
3.3.5.3 Enabling multi-threaded file conversions and multiuser support for PDF Generator
By default, PDF Generator can convert only one OpenOffice,
Microsoft Word, or PowerPoint document at a time. If you enable
multi-threaded conversions, PDF Generator can convert more than
one of the documents concurrently by launching multiple instances
of OpenOffice or PDFMaker.
Note:
Multi-threaded conversions are not
supported for Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Project, and Microsoft
Publisher.
When adding users for OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or Microsoft
PowerPoint dismiss the initial activation dialogs for all users.
After your AEM forms on JEE server is configured, add AEM forms
on JEE user accounts in administration console. See the
6.12.7 User accounts for multi-threaded file conversions
.
To enable multiuser support for native files and OpenOffice files
on a Windows environment, add a minimum of three users with the
following permissions.
