The product is compatible with Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server and later versions of Windows. Windows 7 or later are recommended for development and Windows Server 2008 R2 or later versions are recommended for deployment.

Function of the HTML document the internal memory usage during conversion can be lower or higher. In general it is recommended to have a server with at least 2GB of free RAM where to deploy your application using the converter. If you convert very large HTML documents you should make sure you run the converter in a 64-bit process. See the previous section for more details.
