The PdfWizard applet should start momentarily. If you don't have the Java plugin installed for your browser, you will be prompted to download it (this plugin is required to use the applet). Also you will be asked to grant permission to run the signed applet - this is required to allow the applet to save the PDF file to your filesystem.

After using the Java applet to create your Problem Description File, you must use the pdfScript to integrate the problem into the NetSolve system. pdfScript is a perl script that inserts the problem into the server, compiles the server, kills the server (if already running), and restarts the server. Download the script from the following link: pdfScript

1. Login to the machine where you want to start your server
2. cd to the $NETSOLVE_ROOT directory
3. cp pdfScript to the $NETSOLVE_ROOT directory
4. cp pdf file to the $NETSOLVE_ROOT directory
5. ./configure NetSolve for this machine
6. Execute pdfScript perl script
7. Enter the relevant information when prompted. The information required in sequence is as follows:
1. Name of the pdf file
2. Location of the library required by the problem
3. Name of the Agent
4. Name of the server

1. setenv NETSOLVE_ROOT to point to NetSolve directory
2. setenv NETSOLVE_ARCH

   It can be found by running conf/config_guess and changing the hyphens to underscore. For example if conf/config_guess returns "sparc-sun-solaris2.8", set NETSOLVE_ARCH as "sparc_sun_solaris2_8"

3. Make sure the Agent name in server_config file is same as the one you enter agent name when pdfScript prompts for Agent name.
