Section 2.3: Settings

Changing the Service Name | Configuring the Uploads Folder | Device Authorization

The Aji Reader Service includes a few settings to fine-tune its behavior. These are accessed from the "Settings" button on the right side of the Aji Reader Service main screen:

Changing the Service Name

Mac:

Windows:

The "Service Name" controls how your server appears from Aji Annotate; usually the default is acceptable, but you may wish to change this setting here.

Configuring the Uploads Folder

(Back to Top)

When PDF documents are downloaded from the web with Aji Annotate, they are transferred to your computer when Aji Annotate connects to Aji Reader Service. These files are placed in the Uploads folder. If you wish to change the location of the Uploads folder, you may do so by clicking on "Choose New Folder" and then browsing for the preferred location. This is especially useful if you frequently wish to access PDF documents on your computer which were downloaded from the web with Aji Annotate. Otherwise, you may leave the Uploads folder at the default location.

Device Authorization

(Back to Top)

By default, the Aji Reader Service allows any device on your local network to connect and download PDF documents from your computer. This is the easiest approach for most users, and is safe in home network environments.

Some users, however, will wish to control access to their shared documents and ensure that only authorized devices are allowed to connect. If you wish to do this, uncheck the "Allow all devices to connect" checkbox. Also, you will probably want to use the button to reset the list of authorized devices just in case an unknown device had been previously authorized.

When your device first connects and authorization is required, the Aji Reader Service will request confirmation before sending any data to the device:

Mac:

Windows:

Note that a device only needs to be authorized once; after initial authorization, the device is always allowed to make subsequent connections. If you wish deauthorize a device, use the "Reset Authorized Devices" button under Settings.
