If PDFreactor is deployed using the PDFreactor installer, the installation provides an option to automatically install the PDFreactor service with PDFreactor. No further configuration is required in this case.

On Unix and Linux platforms, no installer is available. Therefore, the PDFreactor service must be started manually on these systems. To do so, after unzipping the PDFreactor installation archive go to the <path-to-PDFreactor/bin> directory and use this command to start the service:

./pdfreactorwebservice start

To stop the service, use:

./pdfreactorwebservice stop

To display whether the service is already running, use:

./pdfreactorwebservice status
