Docbox Print Driver normally moves the converted PDF straight to a local watch folder before passing it to the Docbox server. In most cases you'll never need to know this happens.

Some organisations redirect this watch folder to a different location, usually because another process needs to pick up the file before it reaches Docbox. For example, this location can be shared with Docbox File Agent (DFA), which then handles getting the file to Docbox. This can be useful where a customer's own application doesn't integrate well with Windows printers directly, letting the print driver, watch folder, and DFA work together to get the file to Docbox reliably.

By default, the watch folder is located at: C:\Users\userid\AppData\Roaming\DMSPD\Watch

To redirect it, edit the DMSPost.exe.config file and set WatchDirectoryOverride to the required folder. This location must be accessible by all users of the Print Driver.

Example:

<setting name="WatchDirectoryOverride" serializeAs="String">
 <value>C:\PrintDriver-Installs\Watchfiles</value>
</setting>
