Introduction

The n2pdf Server Task is an application for converting Notes data into the PDF format. It is possible to transfer single documents, the overall view or databases into PDF files, taking the Notes-specific elements into account. Format-specific settings (e.g. encryption) can be used for the creation of the PDF files.

The application can be started as a stand-alone program (Client Mode) or loaded as a "plug-in" (Server Mode) on a Domino Server.

The application is supplied with all necessary information in the form configuration documents (Notes documents) and a job database (Notes database). Based on this information, the Notes contents are then converted into PDF documents.

Conversions can either be scheduled, or done as one-off jobs. These jobs can be created by administrators or users, depending on the how the access to the configuration database is set.

The conversions are performed by individual "converter instances" (threads). This means that several jobs can be executed at once. Thus the application can be adapted to existing hardware (e.g. number of processors).

A connection to an "attachment converter" allows file attachments to be processed too (converted, imported or embedded).

The n2pdf Server Task is licensed as an independent application.
