Import Agent 9, Laserfiche 10.1

Summary

The PDF page generation option in Laserfiche relies on a third-party component shared across multiple Laserfiche products. There can be multiple versions of the component installed on a computer depending on what Laserfiche products are installed on the computer. Due to the complexity of the PDF specification, a particular version of the third-party component may better suit the types of PDF files in your organization. You can use the assembly binding redirect feature in Microsoft .NET Framework to use another version of the installed third-party component. This article covers configuring Import Agent 9 and Laserfiche Client 10.1.

Import Agent 9

Configure the Laserfiche Import Agent 9 service to use a more recent version of the PDF page generation component installed by Laserfiche Client 9.2.1 or Laserfiche 10.0.

Create an app configuration file for the Import Agent service.

  1. Download one of the following application configuration files depending on the version of Laserfiche Client that is installed on the computer hosting the Import Agent service.
  2. Extract ImportAgentService.exe.config to the same location as ImportAgentService.exe. By default, Import Agent is installed at C:\Program Files (x86)\Laserfiche\Import Agent.
  3. Restart the Laserfiche Import Agent Service.
