All,
sorry for top posting. Nothing down there to relate to.
Could it be that it is something similar like headless on linux? I
remember something similar when using pdflib back in the days.
As a service there may be something missing (login shell, DISPLAY,
Terminal)? "Word to PDF" could be well something that requires screen
information. Worth a check on the requirements of the library.
My 2cts.

This works perfectly in the development environment and also when
running Tomcat in a console window.
The moment we run Tomcat as a service this specific component gives
and error. Unfortunately the error is non-specific so we cannot
troubleshoot the origin.
My question is, what would be the difference in running Tomcat as a
Service as oppose to running it in Console that might cause this
problem?
Tomcat runs as a different user with different access permissions,
particularly to network shares.
You probably want to set up a Tomcat specific user with the
appropriate permissions.

Thank you Mark for the quick response.
My first thought was permissions also, however I have attempted to
run it with local, domain and system user, however the same result.
Both local and domain user was part of the local admin group. Is
there anything else I can check?
Are you sure the DDL is being loaded? That normally needs explicit
configuration to point the JVM at the right path.
Look at the docs for for
org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener and configure it to
dump everything. Then compare the console start with the service
start.
What is also different when Tomcat runs as a Service or in a console,
is where the JVM that runs tomcat, picks up its environment and
command-line switches.
If you are not familiar with this matter, this may help :
verbose explanation :
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TOMCAT/Windows#Windows-Q11
Official page :
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/windows-service-howto.html
(Perhaps the application expects some value to be set somewhere..)
Also, above you mention "Unfortunately the error is non-specific..",
but maybe you want to copy the error message here, so that someone
else can have a look at it ?
Maybe it triggers some recognition by another user having had the same
issue with that library.
