Introduction
In today’s business environment there is a tremendous need for companies to convert business content
to PDF format and/or image documents like TIFF or JPEG. This is apparent by the many requests
programmers and IT professionals receive from managers in industries that range from the legal field to
the financial and insurance fields. We realized this more than a decade ago and that is when we began to
work on the suite of software products that are offered by Neevia Technology. We understand that we
live in a PDF world and we set out to create an application that would change the way people view share
and work with e-documents.
Neevia Document Converter is a software product that dynamically converts HTML, Microsoft Office 97,
2000, XP, 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013, 365, WordPerfect, PostScript and many other document types into
PostScript, PDF, PDF/A, JPEG, TIFF, PNG, PCX, EPS and BMP. It operates in both a batch mode via directory
or email scanning and in direct mode via a COM component.
Document Converter Pro is easy to install and is used by companies in the legal, pharmaceutical,
insurance, banking and many other areas that generate large volumes of documents. The goal of
Document Converter Pro is to help your company create one PDF/Image standard that can be integrated
into your workflow with ease and affordability.
System Requirements
• Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 2008, Windows 8, Windows 2012 – 32 and
64bit, Windows 10.
• At least 100 MBytes of free disk space;
• Memory requirement: min 256MB - heavily dependent on the nature of the job being converted.

Installing and Uninstalling Document Converter Pro
Before installing and/or using this product, please make sure you carefully read the copyright notice and
agree to all of its terms. If you have any questions about the licensing agreement, please feel free to call
or email sales@neevia.com
in our sales department.
To install Document Converter Pro:
download and save the http://neevia.com/prods/dcpro.exe
file to your hard disk. After downloading the
file, double-click it and follow the instructions. The installation procedure automatically detects your
operating system, copies the needed files to your system directory and installs Document Converter Pro
in your system.
NOTE: You must be logged in as an Administrator to install Document Converter Pro.
Unattended installation
To perform an unattended (silent) installation launch Document Converter Pro installer with /sp
/verysilent /norestart command line switches. Here is the full list of supported switches:
/SP
Disables the "This will install... Do you wish to continue?" prompt at the beginning of Setup.
/SILENT, /VERYSILENT
Instructs Setup to be silent or very silent. When Setup is silent the wizard and the background
window are not displayed but the installation progress window is. When a setup is very silent this
installation progress window is not displayed. Everything else is normal so for example error
messages during installation are displayed and the startup prompt is (if you haven't disabled it with
'/SP' command line option explained above). If a restart is necessary and the '/NORESTART'
command isn't used (see below) and Setup is silent, it will display a “Reboot now?” dialog. If it's very
silent it will reboot without asking.
/NOCANCEL
Prevents the user from canceling during the installation process, by disabling the Cancel button and
ignoring clicks on the close button. Useful along with /SILENT.
/NORESTART
Instructs Setup not to reboot even if it's necessary.
/DIR="x:\dirname"
Overrides the default directory name displayed on the Select Destination Directory wizard page. A
fully qualified pathname must be specified.
/GROUP="folder name"
Overrides the default folder name displayed on the Select Start Menu Folder wizard page.
/user="username", /company="company name", /serial="serial number"
Use these switches to pass the registration info (username, company name and serial number) to the
installer.

To remove Neevia Document Converter Pro from your system:
1. Select Settings -> Control Panel from the Start menu.
2. In the Control Panel click Add/Remove Programs and select Document Converter Pro from the list.
3. Click the Add/Remove button to remove the program.
4. A confirmation prompt is displayed.
NOTE:
In some circumstances the uninstaller may be unable to remove the Neevia Converter printer from
the Windows printing system. If this happens, you should reboot your computer and uninstall again.
Unattended uninstall
To perform an unattended (silent) uninstall, launch unins000.exe from the folder where Document
Converter Pro has been installed with /verysilent /norestart command line switches. Here is the full list
of supported switches:
/SILENT, /VERYSILENT
When specified, the uninstaller will not ask the user for startup confirmation or display a message
stating that uninstall is complete. Shared files that are no longer in use are deleted automatically
without prompting. Any critical error messages will still be shown on the screen. When '/VERYSILENT'
is specified, the uninstallation progress window is not displayed. If a restart is necessary and the
'/NORESTART' command isn't used (see below) and '/VERYSILENT' is specified, the uninstaller will
reboot without asking.
/NORESTART
Instructs the uninstaller not to reboot even if it's necessary
.
