Section 6.6.3: Settings

Changing the Service Name | Configuring the Uploads Folder | Device Authorization

The Aji PDF Service includes a few settings to fine-tune its behavior. These are accessed from the Settings button on the right side of the Aji PDF Service main screen:

Changing the Service Name

(Back to Top)

Mac:

Windows:

The Service Name controls how your server appears from iAnnotate; usually the default is acceptable, but you may wish to change this setting here.

Configuring the Uploads Folder

(Back to Top)

When PDF documents are obtained via some method other than Aji PDF Service, they will be placed in the Uploads folder when transferred to your computer. If you wish to change the location of the Uploads folder, you may do so by clicking on Choose New Folder and then browsing for the preferred location. This is especially useful if you frequently wish to access PDF documents on your computer which were downloaded from the web or email with iAnnotate. Otherwise, you may leave the Uploads folder at the default location.

Device Authorization

(Back to Top)

By default, the Aji PDF Service allows any device on your local network to connect and download PDF documents from your computer. This is the easiest approach for most users, and is safe in home network environments.

Some users, however, will wish to control access to their shared documents and ensure that only authorized devices are allowed to connect. If you wish to do this, uncheck the Allow all devices to connect checkbox. Also, you will probably want to use the button to reset the list of authorized devices just in case an unknown device had been previously authorized.

When your device first connects and authorization is required, the Aji PDF Service will request confirmation before sending any data to the device:

Mac:

Windows:

Note that a device only needs to be authorized once; after initial authorization, the device is always allowed to make subsequent connections. If you wish deauthorize a device, use the "Reset Authorized Devices" button under Settings.
