Creating an environment variable to locate the native application

Create an environment variable that specifies the location of the native application executable. The variable must use the format [applicationname]_PATH, where applicationname must exactly match the application name used in the XML configuration file and in the script, and where the path contains the path to the executable in double quotation marks. An example of such an environment variable is Photoshop_PATH.

After creating the new environment variable, you must restart the server on which PDF Generator ES is deployed.

To create a system variable in the Windows XP environment:

1.	Select Control Panel > System.

2.	In the System Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab and then click Environment Variables.

3.	Under System Variables in the Environment Variables dialog box, click New.

4.	In the New System Variable dialog box, in the Variable name box, type a name that uses the format [applicationname]_PATH.

5.	In the Variable value box, type the full path and file name of the application's executable file and then click OK. For example, type c:\windows\Notepad.exe.

6.	In the Environment Variables dialog box, click OK.

To create a system variable from the command line:

1.	In a command line window, type the variable definition, using the following format:

		[applicationname]_PATH=[Full path name]

For example, type NotePad_PATH=C:\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.EXE.

2.	Start a fresh command line prompt for the system variable to take effect.
