Hi,
I encountered a problem using the pdf converter
with IIS 5.0 and win2000.
I installed the printer first under administrator account and
set registry security for the IWAM user.
I have to set application security of the IIS to low.
Otherwise I get an access denied error when
calling PDFDriverInit().
If I set the application security to middle, it only worked
if I also put the IWAM_xxx User to the Administrator group.
It worked immediatly under IIS 4 and NT 4.
Which rights are necessary calling the PDFiNit() function?
Any suggestions?

IIS5.0: access denied
Hello,
Under IIS 4 the security is set to LOW by default, this is why you are not encountering problems.
Under IIS 5 the security is set to Medium by default, you need to set it to low to make it work.
Also, you may install the printer on the system using Install.exe and in your application you can call DriverInit instead of PDFDriverInit.
DriverInit doesn't need administrative rights to run, it just attach to the existing printer and doesn't try to install a new one.
Hope this helps.
