Installation scenarios

The WorkZone product contains two modules:

The WorkZone PDF Engine – It can be installed either as standard installation with pre-defined parameters or as a customized installation, where you can specify custom parameters.
The WorkZone PDF Crawler – It can only be installed as a complete installation.

In Windows Programs and Features, all three modules are combined and appear as WorkZone.

In general, the following setup is recommended:

Install WorkZone PDF Engine on the same server as WorkZone Content Server using the Real-time conversions profile.

Install WorkZone PDF Crawler on a dedicated server because of the high demand on system resources. On small installations, however, it is possible to install WorkZone PDF Crawler on the same server where you run WorkZone Content Server.
