Running with addons as an NT service
KB ARTICLE:

REQUIRES VERSION: 2.00 or above
Addon's that work with NT Service default install are: IMG Addon, TIFF Addon, DOC Addon, Excel Addon, PDF Addon, PowerPoint Addon, MSG Addon, EML Addon
Addon's that don't work without changes to the BPPNTService.ini are: PDF Addon Plus, eDrawings Addon, Solid Edge Addon, DWF Addon, HTML Addon
The reason why is because these
addons above need to control the 3rd party application interface
(click buttons etc), An NT Service by default runs without an
interface, so the Addon can't interact as there's nothing on screen.
To get around this it's still possible to run as an NT Service but
you will need to change the file: C:\Program Files\Traction
Software\Batch & Print Pro\BPPNTService.ini
Change line: UserInterface = No to UserInterface = Yes (Case sensitive)
