RAD PDF requires that several pieces of software be setup and configured prior to installation
Windows 2003 / 2008 Server
The Web, Standard, or Enterprise edition of Microsoft Windows 2003 or 2008 Server must be installed. Unless otherwise stated, this documentation Windows Server was installed and configured with the default settings.
Note: Windows 2000 Server / Advanced Server is not formally supported, however RAD PDF has been confirmed to install and work properly on these platforms.
Note: RAD PDF has been compiled to support both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) platforms. For 64-bit platforms, only x64 (AMD64 / Intel64 / x86-64) processors are supported. The less common IA64 (Itanium) processors are not supported in this build. If Itanium support is needed, please contact us.
Microsoft IIS 6.0 or higher
IIS (Internet Information Services) version 6.0 or higher must be installed on the Windows Server.
Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ)
Microsoft Message Queuing must be installed on the Windows Server. MSMQ must be running as a system service which will automatically start (default). Local storage for MSMQ must be allowed (default).
Microsoft .NET 2.0 or higher
The .NET Framework, version 2.0 or higher, must be installed.
SQL Server 2005 / 2008
The Express, Workgroup, Standard, Enterprise, or Developer Edition of Microsoft SQL Server must be installed. SQL Server does not need to be installed locally (and for deployments in which multiple servers are using RAD PDF for the same web application, it is not recommended). The SQL Server instance must be accessible via a standard SQL connection string from the application server on which RAD PDF is installed.
