Renditioning software
DB2 Document Manager Rendition Services requires software from independent software vendors to create renditions. This software must be installed on the server that is running Rendition Services.
The renditioning software that is used depends on the type of renditions that the service generates. The most common software that is required on the server that is running Rendition Services is:
- To render PDF files, Adobe Acrobat Distiller and the application that was used to create the original file
- To render TIF files and thumbnails, Cimmetry Systems AutoVue client (not the Client-Server Editions or AutoVue for Java (jVue))
Thumbnails and TIF renditions of AutoCAD 2007 drawings require AutoVue version 19.1 Service Pack 1. Similarly, using AutoVue to print AutoCAD 2007 files (using a Windows print queue) requires AutoVue version 19.1 Service Pack 1.

Client operating systems
DB2 Document Manager clients require one of the following operating systems.
Recommendation: Install DB2 Document Manager clients (Designer and Desktop) on client systems (Windows Vista, XP Professional, and 2000 Professional). Having DB2 Document Manager clients installed on the DB2 Document Manager server system can be useful while you design the Desktop and test various configuration options, but client systems provide better processor utilization for client applications than server systems do.
