Finally got this whole thing working. Please remember that this is the new product "afp2pdf plus" from Ricoh. One thing that doesn't matter is that everything can be on the same drive. At first I thought maybe some files had to be on C Drive verses F Drive. This is definitely not true. Secondly, be sure the configuration is accurate on ICN Admin. That, of course, is crucial. Here's a caveat' that I didn't count on. The afp2pdfserver had to run continually on the file server (Windows 2012) unlike the original product. In other words, set up a scheduler so it runs continually. I hope that makes sense. At any rate, testing continues and will hopefully be in production soon. I hope this helps someone out there wanting to do the same thing.
