PaperPort Getting Started Guide 6
PaperPort installation comprises three elements that are installed in a single process:
• PaperPort program (includes ImageViewer, Scan Direct and Wizard)
• PDF Viewer Plus (in PaperPort Professional this includes PDF Create.)
• PaperPort image printer.
PDF Viewer Plus is not installed if the top-line Nuance product PDF Converter
Professional is detected on the computer (version 5.3 or above) because it provides
all the functionality of PDF Viewer Plus, and much more additionally.
Click Autorun, select an installation language, accept or change the program
location. If PDF Viewer Plus/Create is to be installed, you have two checkmarks:
Set Nuance PDF as your default viewer for Windows and Internet Explorer
This sets PDF Viewer Plus as your system default PDF viewer.
PDF files on the
PaperPort desktop are by default opened in a Nuance PDF product. If you select
this option, PDF files that are double-clicked anywhere on your system will open in
PDF Viewer Plus.
Install all Nuance PDF button and menu application add-ins
This places a Nuance PDF ribbon or toolbar in Microsoft Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, Outlook and Internet and Windows Explorer and Corel WordPerfect,
allowing PDF Create to make PDF files from the current document or mail
attachment or web page. Go to Control Panel Add/Remove programs to later
enable or disable these add-ins individually.
Autorun then starts the installer. It offers a Compete or a Custom installation.
Choose Custom only if you want to add your own folders to the supplied PaperPort
folders during installation. You can add folders later (see page 24).
Activating PaperPort
Most versions of PaperPort 12 and the associated PDF Viewer Plus require
activation. For activation and deactivation you need web access. You will be invited
to activate the product at the end of installation. Choose from automatic or manual
activation. The recommended choice is automatic; then PaperPort and the PDF
Viewer (with PDF Create for the Professional product) are activated together.
