3.3.1 General considerationsBefore you install, read through the following information to
ensure that your installation runs smoothly:
To reduce the time of installation, install LiveCycle
either by using a local copy of the installation files or directly
from the DVD. The installation could fail when LiveCycle 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.
Download any patch updates for LiveCycle available from Adobe
Enterprise Support.
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:
By default, the turnkey installation places LiveCycle
components in the C:\Adobe\Adobe LiveCycle ES4\ 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 Vista and Windows Server 2008 R1To access the System Configuration Utility, go
to Start > Run and then enter MSCONFIG.
Click the Tools tab and scroll down and select Disable UAC.
Click Launch to run the command in a new window.
When finished, close the command window and close the System
Configuration window.
Restart your computer.
You must disable UAC when installing and configuring LiveCycle.
To enable the UAC again, repeat the steps above and select Enable UAC before
clicking Launch.
3.3.3 Disable the Windows UAC on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2To access the System Configuration Utility, go
to Start > Run and then enter MSCONFIG.
Click the Tools tab and scroll down and select Change UAC Settings.
Click Launch to run the command in a new window.
Adjust the slider to the Never notify level.
When finished, close the command window and close the System
Configuration window.
Restart your computer.
To enable the UAC again, repeat the steps above and adjust the
slider to a desired level before restarting your computer.
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 Reader Extensions credentialIf you are installing Reader 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 Reader Extensions credential when configuring and
deploying LiveCycle and install it later using the Trust Store component
in Administration Console.
3.3.5 Preconfigurations for PDF GeneratorWith 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 conversionsBefore 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 LiveCycle.
PDF Generator can be extended to convert these additional file
types to PDF files by using the following applications: Microsoft Office 2007, 2010 (DOC, XLS, PPT, RTF, TXT, Microsoft
Office open XML Formats)
Microsoft Office Visio 2007, 2010 (VSD)
Microsoft Publisher 2007, 2010 (PUB)
Microsoft Project 2007, 2010 (MPP)
Corel WordPerfect 12, X4 (WPD)
Adobe® FrameMaker® 7.2, 8.0 (FM)
Adobe® PageMaker® 7.0 (PMD, PM6, P65, PM)
OpenOffice 3.3 (ODT, ODP, ODS, ODG, ODF, SXW, SXI, SXC, SXD,
SXM)
Note: LiveCycle 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 GeneratorInstall Adobe® Acrobat® XI Pro before running the LiveCycle
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 LiveCycle is installed and Acrobat is not installed, install
Acrobat and then run the Acrobat_for_PDFG_Configuration.bat script,
located in the folder [LiveCycle root]\pdfg_config. Otherwise,
PDF conversions may fail.
The LiveCycle installer sets the Acrobat_PATH (case
sensitive) environment variable automatically. You can also choose
to set it manually, see 6.13.1 Setting environment variables. Restart your application server after setting
the environment variable.
To use AES 256 encryption in LiveCycle 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 GeneratorBy 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 Visio, Microsoft Project,
and Microsoft Publisher.
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. See 3.3.2 Disable the Windows UAC on Vista and Windows Server 2008 R1 or 3.3.3 Disable the Windows UAC on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2,
as applicable.
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.
Platform
|
User permissions
|
Windows 2008 Server
|
Users with administrative privileges
|
When you add users for PDF Generator native conversions, grant
the user Logon as Service right. For more information, see 3.3.5.4 Granting the Logon as Service right
3.3.5.4 Granting the Logon as Service rightIf you are installing PDF Generator on any Windows operating
system, grant the Logon as Service right to the user that installs
LiveCycle.
Select Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment.
Double-click Log on as a service and click Add User or Group.
Type the user name for the Microsoft Administrator and click OK.
