About Watched Folder installation

Both LiveCycle Assembler and LiveCycle PDF Generator can use watched folder functionality as a method
for initiating jobs for processing. However, LiveCycle Assembler and LiveCycle PDF Generator use different
watched folder technologies.
LiveCycle Assembler uses a service called Watched Folder, which you install separately and configure with
LiveCycle Workflow using Configuration Manager. This service is included in the deployable LiveCycle.ear
file.
LiveCycle PDF Generator uses an embedded watched folder functionality, which does not require a
separate installation. The configuration tasks required for LiveCycle PDF Generator watched folders is
included in the
All other installation and configuration references to Watched Folder in this guide pertain to the service
that is used by LiveCycle Workflow and LiveCycle Assembler.
