You can still have your Splunk instance installed on Windows, but just have the Splunk instance on the Linux box act as the PDF server.</P> Thu, 05 Apr 2012 12:18:40 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/PDF-printing-on-Windows-server/m-p/19725#M177269 Brian_Osburn 2012-04-05T12:18:40Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/PDF-printing-on-Windows-server/m-p/19726#M177270 <P>Exporting to PDF is not extremely difficult function to put this to the whole dedicated server. This feature should be built.</P> Thu, 05 Apr 2012 12:46:24 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/PDF-printing-on-Windows-server/m-p/19726#M177270 andrzejwasilews 2012-04-05T12:46:24Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/PDF-printing-on-Windows-server/m-p/19727#M177271 <P>How about setting up a simple VM to do this task instead of having it run on it's own Server?</P> Thu, 05 Apr 2012 13:13:40 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/PDF-printing-on-Windows-server/m-p/19727#M177271 MHibbin 2012-04-05T13:13:40Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/PDF-printing-on-Windows-server/m-p/19728#M177272 <P>VM hypevisor needs own bare metal server, goes the same.</P> Thu, 05 Apr 2012 13:33:45 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/PDF-printing-on-Windows-server/m-p/19728#M177272 andrzejwasilews 2012-04-05T13:33:45Z
