Hello everybody. There are two possible solutions for this problem. My PDF Generator is working on the polish Windows XP Prof. SP1 and polish Microsoft Office 2003 Prof.
This problem is mainly caused by inproper path to some product files, that cannot be found when conversion occurs.
Let's consider two scenarios:
1. PDF Generator was installed on different OS Language Version
2. PDF Generator was installed on different drive (not C:)
It can be fixed manually in situation 1. as follows:
1. stopped JBoss and MySQL
2. copy the contents of the following folder from a working English version to the corresponding language destination
i.e. copied C:\Documents and settings\All Users\Documents\Adobe PDF\*
to c:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Documents\Adobe PDF
as this directory was empty probably because the intallation routine was looking for C:\Documents and settings
3. Check server.aes.properties in aaes-internal-utils.jar
in which I had changed the following properties to reflect the language destination C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\...
server.acrobat.user.job.options.prefix.dir=C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen
server.acrobat.ps.startup.dir=C:/Dokumente und Einstellungen/All Users/Documents/Adobe PDF/Startup
4. copied this aaes-internal-utils.jar to C:\Adobe\LiveCycle\components\pdfgenerator\jboss\ear\x86_win32\pdfg-all.ear
5. run LCM and re-assemble the ear files
6. copy the 3 files from c:\Adobe\LiveCycle\configurationManager\export to C:\Adobe\LiveCycle\jboss\server\all\deploy
7. restart the SQL service and JBoss and retest
In situation 2:
1.Check server.aes.properties in aaes-ejb.jar & aaes-internal-utils.jar contains following entries hardcoded to drive "C:\"
****************************************************************************************************
# Directory where PDFMaker, Distiller, etc. already are looking for custom Distiller Job Options
# The default for the prefix is {user.home}/..
server.acrobat.user.job.options.prefix.dir=C:/Documents and Settings
server.acrobat.user.job.options.suffix.dir=All Users/Documents/Adobe PDF/Settings
# startup ps dir:
server.acrobat.ps.startup.dir=C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Documents/Adobe PDF/Startup
server.acrobat.ps.startup.file=_wm_.ps
*****************************************************************************************************
2.Modify these entires for drive F:/ , save the file & redeploy the application.
I fixed the problem with #1, but I've just copied the contents of the c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Dokumenty\ to c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\
after that PDF Generator started to work.
