Concurrent mode #21

Closed viirtus closed 6 years ago

viirtus commented 6 years ago

Hi. It is possible to use OfficeToPDF in concurrent mode? probably no Now, if I try to run more than 1 instance it will instantly fail with popup for saving untitled document. Also, until I manually kill WINWORD.exe each next run fall with RPC_E_CALL_REJECTED.

Working in one thread took to long time.

Hi

Unfortunately no. Office is not designed to be run concurrently (see https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/257757/considerations-for-server-side-automation-of-office for the details) and because OfficeToPDF relies on Office, we can't support concurrent conversions.
