 '''Render''' effectively "prints" the document as a PDF file, outputting a PDF document containing a scanned image of that document and any native text data.  This is done using the Grooper Render Printer.  In order to do this, four conditions must be met:

			=== Set up Render Printer for multiple users and service accounts ===

			Grooper Render Printer installs under the context of a ''single user'': The account/user that is logged in when installing it for the first time.
			* In typical scenarios, this is the service account running the '''Activity Processing''' service processing '''Render''' tasks.

			If only one account/user is ever going to process '''Render''' tasks, this is no problem. However, if multiple users need to process '''Render''' tasks, additional steps need to be taken to ensure multiple users can run the Grooper Render Printer.

			To ensure a user/account who ''did not'' install the Grooper Render Printer can use it to execute '''Render''' tasks, perform the following configuration tasks:

			# Log in as the user/service account that will execute '''Render''' activity tasks.
			# Ensure the Grooper Render Printer is the default printer.
			#* Open the "Printers & Scanners" settings in Windows. Select the Grooper Render Printer. If it is not already listed as "Default", select "Manage". Then, select "Set as default".
			# Go to the local user/account's "Documents" folder in Windows File Explorer.
			#* <code>C:\Users\<loggedInUser>\Documents\</code>
			# Create a folder named <code>GrooperRender</code>
			# Next, you will need to edit the environment variables for the logged in user ('''''not''''' the system variables).
			#* An easy way to find these is to hit the Windows Start button and search for "Edit environment variables for your account".
			# In the "Environment Variables" window, click "New..." under the "User variables for <loggedInUser>".
			#* A "New User Variable" window will appear.
			# For the "Variable Name:" enter <code>GROOPER_RENDERPATH</code>
			# For the "Variable Value:" enter the path for the folder created in Step 3.

	Very rarely, a Grooper service will not uninstall properly when you uninstall the service from Grooper Config. This can make it appear as though a duplicate or "ghost" Windows service is installed without being listed in Grooper Config.

	~~If this does occur, you will need to manually delete the service from the Windows Registry Editor, using the following steps:~~
	~~# Open the Registry Editor (regedit.exe)~~
	~~# Navigate to the <code>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services</code> key.~~
	~~# Select the key of the service you want to delete.~~
