But in server version I can't find menu, where i could change save/autosave properties.
In standard version we have OPTIONS menu (CTRL+O), but there are no options in server version.

Could you help me and explain where can i do it.

Extration from HELP
( With a server installation you can use Auto-Save mode to automatically save docs. to specifified directory)

But where should i write the UNC-pathnames and/or tokens?

P.S. Very appreciate Your help!!!

What happens if you start PDFCreator and choose options?

When i start PDFCreator installed like server version i do not have any OPTIONS button at all. That the problem, so i can't configure auto-save properties and all other things.

So i simply cannot make any changes and configurations when using server installation.
( i have FileServer with 2 computers in network )

Hi, I've read help and now I'm tring to set it up. But the variable contains IP address of client computer only in case if I use it in name of file. If I use token in directory setings, there is name of server, not name or IP of client coputer. So, all files are saved on server. Where is the problem?

Thanks. Michal

thesmileface,

Really appreciate Your help.

1.) Be sure that PDFCreator is started with an Domain-Admin account! This is important.

2.) Try this for the auto-save directory.
\\\c$\PDFs

3.) As filename you should use
The "DateTime" token.
