Installation and Activation
PDF Converter 7 detects previous versions and prompts for your
confirmation to remove them. You should have administrator rights on
the computer to install and activate the program. You need web access
for activation.
1. Insert the CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive
The installation program will start automatically. If it does not, locate
your CD-ROM drive in Microsoft
®
Windows
®
Explorer and
double-click the converter's autorun.exe file. Select a language for
installation. The InstallShield® Wizard will appear.
(If you have downloaded the converter from the Nuance web site or a
reseller’s site, double-click its autorun.exe file.)
2. License and Serial Number
You must accept the license agreement in order to proceed. You must
enter a serial number. You will find this on the CD sleeve or on the
Nuance web site or a reseller’s site, at the download location. Some
resellers let you see the serial number at a later time, by returning to your
purchase order. Be sure to keep the serial number in a safe place; it is
fully checked only during product activation and is also needed for any
re-installations.
3. Location and Setup Type
The installer offers a default location for the program. Accept it or define
a different one. Select Complete or Custom Setup. Choose Custom to
enable or disable the integration of PDF Converter in other programs. By
default, all the programs offered in the PDF Converter Integration panel
of the InstallShield Wizard will be enabled. You can later change any of

these settings at any time using the Preferences panel accessed from the
File menu of the Converter Assistant.
4. Click Finish
Registration runs at the end of installation. Select Register Online to
establish a connection to the Nuance web site. We provide an easy
electronic form that can be completed in a few moments. When the form
is filled, click Submit. If you decide not to register or to be reminded
later, you can go to
http://www.nuance.com
to register online any time
later. Click on Support and from the main support screen choose
Register in the left-hand column. For a statement on the use of your
registration data, please see Nuance's Privacy Policy.
5. Activate
You will be invited to activate the product at the end of installation.
Please ensure that web access is available. Provided your serial number is
found at its storage location and has been correctly entered, no user
interaction is required and no personal information is transmitted. If you
do not activate the product at installation time, you will be invited to do
this each time you invoke the program. PDF Converter can be launched
only five times without activation.

The PDF Converter Assistant
Start this from the Windows Start Menu or from your desktop if you
placed a shortcut there. The Assistant lets you prepare and control
conversions. Its Full view shows you a preview of PDF and XPS files to
be converted and lets you set page ranges. The panel on the right lists all
files selected for conversion; icons show loading or conversion status.
Help explains the meanings of the icons.
PDF Converter offers four levels of control:
Quick View:
This allows quick conversions using current settings for everything
beyond four basic choices.
Full View:
This presents the same four buttons from Quick View, but also displays
page previews and offers all settings that influence the conversions.
Choose a mode to see its settings. Choose a target (or click the Output
tool when there is no choice) to set saving options. Full view lists all files
in the current conversion session along with status information for each
of them.
Left View:
This appears when PDF Converter is called from inside a target
application. Then only a single file can be converted, so just the left
preview panel and its controls are needed.
No Assistant:
From some starting places where the input file and target are pre-
defined, you can by-pass the Assistant altogether and perform a direct
conversion using existing settings. See How to start the program.

Converting with Quick View
Choose Quick View in the View menu. Then your conversions are an
easy 4-step process, using current settings for everything else:

Options panel is selected, the converted file appears in its target
program.
Turn off the Quick View toggle in the View menu to return to Full View
to see the processing summary, inspect and change settings or view page
previews. If you close the program with Quick View active, it will
reappear when the program is next started.

Select one or more PDF/
XPS files or drag and drop
them onto the Quick View
window.

Choose a processing mode:
Standard Document, Legal,
Spreadsheet or Form.
