3.3.4.3 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: Microsoft Excel (2007 and 2010 versions) is not supported. To enable multi-threaded file conversions, upgrade to Microsoft Word 2007 or 2010 and PowerPoint 2007 or 2010.
Note: Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Visio files are not converted simultaneously. During conversion, EXCEL.exe and VISIO.exe are watched in the task manager. The Visio file is processed only after processing on the Excel file is complete.

Each instance of OpenOffice or PDFMaker is launched using a separate user account. Each user account that you add must be a valid user with administrative privileges on the LiveCycle server computer. On 64-bit Windows, disable Windows UAC. For more information, see 3.3.2 Configuring Windows installation.

When adding users for OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or Microsoft PowerPoint dismiss the initial activation dialogs for all users. After your LiveCycle server is configured, add LiveCycle user accounts in Administration Console. See the 6.13.7 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.
