Author-it On-Premises technical requirements

Author-it Service Manager is installed on publishing servers. The publishing server runs the Publishing service, which processes remote publishing jobs and publishing jobs for Contribute.

Publishing servers have different requirements for different publishing jobs and outputs.

Publishing server requirements

Hardware and software

  • CPU: 1.5 GHz minimum

  • RAM: 4 GB (8 GB recommended)

  • Storage: Solid State Drive recommended

  • OS: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit) or later

  • .NET Framework 4.8

  • Optional: Ghostscript version 10.03.1 or later

The Publishing service doesn't have native support for EPS images. EPS images will appear as a broken image icon in most output formats. If you use EPS images, Author-it provides an optional script that uses Ghostscript to convert EPS images to a supported format. For more information, see Publish EPS images and display EPS images in Author.

Magellan

PDF ProCSS

  • Antenna House 6.5 or later

    Recommended install location: C:\Program Files\Antenna House

  • Optional: Ghostscript version 10.03.1 or later

    Recommended install location: C:\Program Files\gs\gs{version}

    Antenna House doesn’t support EPS images. Ghostscript converts the EPS images to PDF format, so that they can be included in PDF ProCSS documents. Ghostscript isn't required if you don't use EPS images.

Microsoft Word

  • Microsoft Word 2010 or later (required for importing Word documents and publishing to Legacy Word).
