Manager 2007.
The document describes all parameters and installer options that you may want to use
during product setup.
For system requirements of the product, see its corresponding documentation (Release
Notes located in the ReadMe folder of the CD). Note that performance and speed will be
enhanced if your computer’s processor, memory, and available disk space exceed
minimum requirements.

1.1 Product definition

Nuance PDF Create Enterprise is a powerful PDF creation tool. The product lets you
create PDF files from a wide range of file types.
Nuance PDF Converter Enterprise combines the power of PDF creation, the flexibility
of PDF editing, and the versatility of PDF conversion into one easy-to-use, affordable
application. It provides all the critical business features you need without the
cumbersome and costly print and pre-press functionality found in more expensive
solutions.

1.2 CD Layout
The delivered CD contains all mandatory components for installation of the product. In
the case of PDF Professional, to save DOCX, XLSX and PPTX files (for Microsoft
Office 2007 Word, Excel and PowerPoint) you should have or install the Microsoft .NET
3.0 Framework. For more detailed information about this, please read the System
Requirements section of the product Release Notes.
The application has 32- and 64-bit versions. Most of the product components are 32-bit
binaries independently from the version of the target operating system. The delivered
PDF printer driver and some other components vary depending on the selected system.
The CD contains both versions of the product in the System32 and System64 folders. The
msi files for the corresponding product versions are
PDF Converter Enterprise:
 System32\PDFProfessional\Nuance PDF Professional 6.msi
 System64\PDFProfessional\Nuance PDF Professional 6.msi
PDF Create Enterprise:
 System32\PDFCreate\Nuance PDF Create! 6.msi
 System64\PDFCreate\Nuance PDF Create! 6.msi

Both folders contain setup.exe. Always use the appropriate version of the .msi files or
setup.exe according to the operating system you are targeting.
The supported languages and the associated transform files are indicated in the following
table.

Language Transform file

Portuguese (Brazil) 1029.mst
Danish 1030.mst
Dutch 1043.mst

2 INSTALLATION PREREQUISITES
The product requires the ‘Microsoft Visual C++ 2005’ and ‘Microsoft Visual C++ 2008’
Redistributable packages to be installed on the client computers.
If you are going to perform the standard installation procedure via AutoRun.exe – located
in the root folder of the CD – then AutoRun.exe installs this software package
automatically before launching the product installer. A reboot is required after installation
of this component. The installation of the product continues automatically after reboot
when you have logged in again; you are not required to launch AutoRun.exe again
manually.
The Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 and 2009 Redistributable packages are located in the
Prerequisite folder on the CD:
 \Prerequisite\System32\VCRedist\vcredist_x86.exe
 \Prerequisite\System32\VCRedist\vcredist9_x86.exe
 \Prerequisite\System64\VCRedist\vcredist_x64.exe
 \Prerequisite\System64\VCRedist\vcredist9_x64.exe.
If the client computers have 32-bit operating systems, use vcredist_x86.exe and
vcredist9_x86.exe; If the client computers have 64-bit operating systems, you will need
vcredist_x86.exe, vcredist9_x86.exe, vcredist_x64.exe and vcredist9_x64.exe. The
reason is that the 64-bit version of the product contains both 32 and 64-bit components.
To prepare installation of the package, proceed as follows:
For 32-bit clients:
 Run vcredist_x86.exe /t:”<full path>32” /c. This self-extracting executable will
create a folder at the path you specified with the suffix 32 added to its name. Use
the vcredist.msi file unpacked to this folder for deploying this software package.
(see below)
 Run vcredist9_x86.exe /x:”<full path>32”. This self-extracting executable will
create a folder at the path you specified with the suffix 32 added to its name. Use
the vc_red.msi file unpacked to this folder for product installation. (see below)
For 64-bit clients:
Do the above steps and then repeat it for both vcredist_x64.exe and
vcredist9_x64.exe to unpack the .msi file needed for installation on 64-bit
systems. To do this, use the following command lines: vcredist_x64.exe /t:”<full
path>64” /c and vcredist9_x64.exe /x:”<full path>64”.
The extracted installer of the software package is ready to be deployed to the client
systems. Please ensure that this component has already been installed when the product
installer runs on the client machines.

3 INSTALATION IN DISTRIBUTED ENVIRONMENTS

In a corporate environment, system administrators may use a two-step procedure for
software deployment:
1. Administrative installation, which installs the product’s required file set on the
corporate file server and presets certain installation options to configure client
installation.
2. Client installation, which installs the product on the client machine according to
the options prepared during the administrative installation.
This procedure requires system administrators to launch msiexec.exe or setup.exe and
provide the necessary, standard MSI command line options (’/a’ for administrative, and
’/i’ for client installation). System administrators can install the product to the default
installation folder or they can use a custom installation folder. The following sections
describe how system administrators can install the product. Please note that the client
installation can be replaced with other deployment methods (Microsoft Systems
Management Server (SMS) or Active Directory).
Obviously, the client installation procedure requires administrative privileges. On
Windows Vista systems, using setup.exe is more convenient, because it elevates the
install process if necessary.

3.1 Administrative installation

You have to prepare the product prerequisites beforehand as described above.
1. Start installation with the following command:
PDF Converter Enterprise:
msiexec.exe /a “Nuance PDF Professional 6.msi” or setup.exe /a
PDF Create Enterprise:
msiexec.exe /a “Nuance PDF Create! 6.msi” or setup.exe /a
Follow the instructions of the installation wizard.
2. Click Next in the Welcome screen and enter the serial number on the Customer
Information dialog.
3. You can set all parameters that are customizable during installation of the retail
product in the following couple of wizard panels. Use them to control different
integration options (such as Office, Windows and Internet Explorer integrations)
or optional product components. For the available options see the Product-specific
installation parameters section.
4. After setting integration options, you can also distribute customized PDF creation
profiles, PDF printing preferences and (for PDF Converter Enterprise) PDF
product settings to the client computers. You can install the product with its
default settings. You can also share specific settings from a local install of the
product. The section Deploying Product settings describes this step in detail.

6
 Nuance PDF Converter Enterprise 6 and Nuance PDF Create Enterprise 6 Network Install Guide

a. Allow user to modify PDF creation options: You can use this panel to
allow or prohibit users from modifying the PDF creation profiles, by
marking or unmarking the appropriate check box.
b. Use shared watermarks: If you want to use uniform watermarks for
some reason (e.g Company Logo, regular header/footer information, etc)
you can define them in the form of PDF or image files. Before applying
them in the PDF printer settings or the PDF Create Assistant profiles, copy
these files to a shared location (the shares must be referred with the same
drive letter on each client computer). Turn on the appropriate check box to
preserve these watermark settings during distribution.
c. Launch Create Assistant at start up: This
is a useful option to get a faster response to
your PDF creation requests. When this
option is enabled, Create Assistant is launched whenever the user logs in
and a small icon on the system tray indicates its presence.
5. On the Network Location screen specify a target folder for the administrative
installation. This folder will contain:
 Product msi file.
 Admin mst files. This file contains all settings for client installation
 Language mst files. These files contain all language-specific settings.
 Extracted binary files.
Make sure that the target folder is shared over the network and accessible for all
users.
6. Click Install and wait until installation completes

3.1.1 Deploying Product settings

The installer enables the deployment of some product settings with pre-defined settings
and customized modifications. These setting are:
PDF Create Enterprise and PDF Converter Enterprise:
 PDF creation profiles,
 PDF printing preferences.
Only in PDF Converter Enterprise:
 Stamps,
 Watermarks,
 Clip Art,
 Envelopes,
 Security Profiles,
 Bates Numbering,

7
 Nuance PDF Converter Enterprise 6 and Nuance PDF Create Enterprise 6 Network Install Guide

 SharePoint settings.

To know more about PDF Creation settings:

Basically there are two ways to create PDF files from different documents.
1. Use the native application associated to the source document and print the file
to the ScanSoft PDF Create printer.
2. Launch PDF Create Assistant; drag and drop files to it and convert them using
a selected printing profile.
Both the printer driver settings and the profiles in PDF Create Assistant can be
distributed.

Figure 2 Product settings dialog

3.1.1.1 Use default product settings

Mark the first radio button if you do not want to modify product settings.
You can also create product settings beforehand, and distribute them along with the
application. This has two basic alternatives:

3.1.1.2 Distribute product settings of the locally installed copy of the

product
To use this option you have to install the application on the computer where you want
to perform the administrative installation of the product and specify settings for the
product. Then modify Stamps, Watermarks, Clip Art, Envelopes, Security Profiles,
Bates Numbering, SharePoint, PDF printing and PDF Creation settings. You can
freely delete, or modify or create new ones.

8
 Nuance PDF Converter Enterprise 6 and Nuance PDF Create Enterprise 6 Network Install Guide

After these preparatory steps, you are ready to distribute you local PDF Create printer
settings to all client computers.

3.1.1.3 Browse for shared product settings

There is another way for distributing product settings. It also requires a local
installation of the product, but on any computer. After changing the settings you have
to collect manually all the .ini and document files into a folder with the required
structure. See the following table.

After these preparatory steps you can use these shared printer settings (the third
option). Use the ’Change...’ button in this panel to locate them.

3.1.1.4 Product-specific installation parameters

During the installation of the application, specific installation options are available.
Several InstallShield Wizard pages drive you through the available features. These
installer features cover the different integration settings (into MS Office, Window and
Internet Explorer) and the optional components of the product. These features are
controllable via command line switches as well. Please note that the default value of all
settings is ON (the same as a complete install). The possible installer property values can
be “1” or “”, where “1” means that the appropriate feature is required and “” omits the
feature. The following tables indicate all the properties.

3.2 Client installation

PDF Converter Enterprise and PDF Create Enterprise supports special deployment
systems such as Active Directory, Microsoft System Management Server and System
Center Configuration Manager 2007.

3.2.1 Client Installation using msiexec command line

1. Launch a console window on the client machine.
2. Install the application with the following command:
PDF Converter Enterprise:
MSIEXEC.EXE /i "[full path]\Nuance PDF Professional 6.msi"
INSTALLDIR="<instal_path>\PDFProfessional" ALLUSERS=1 TRANSFORMS="<source
path>\admin.mst;<source_path>\1036.mst" /qb
PDF Create Enterprise:
MSIEXEC.EXE /i "[full path]\Nuance PDF Create! 6.msi"
INSTALLDIR="<install_path>\PDFCreate" ALLUSERS=1
TRANSFORMS="<source_path>\admin.mst;<source_path>\1036.mst" /qb
This will install the product to the install path folder. If you omit the INSTALLDIR
parameter, the product will be installed into the default installation folder. Please note that
the usage of the ALLUSERS=1 property is mandatory. The selected installation language
is French in the example given above. If you do not specify the language transform file
then setup.exe prompts for language selection but msiexec.exe installs the product in its
default language, in English.
Here is an example showing how to install the product with different options. To install
PDF Professional 6 with a user interface but with no message box on completion, use the
following command-line:

13
 Nuance PDF Converter Enterprise 6 and Nuance PDF Create Enterprise 6 Network Install Guide

PDF Converter Enterprise:

MSIEXEC.EXE /i "Nuance PDF Professional 6.msi" ALLUSERS=1
TRANSFORMS=”<source_path>\admin.mst” /qb
PDF Create Enterprise:
MSIEXEC.EXE /i "Nuance PDF Create! 6.msi" ALLUSERS=1
TRANSFORMS=”<source_path>\admin.mst” /qb
Where q defines what type of user interface the installation will use:
 /qn specifies that no user interface will be displayed
 /qb specifies a basic interface with a progress bar
and (if used) the plus sign (‘/qb+’ or ‘/qn+’) specifies that a message box will be
displayed when installation has finished.
Wait until installation completes.
IMPORTANT: Command-line install parameters always overwrite .mst file settings.

3.2.2 Client Installation using Active Directory

3.2.2.1 Overview
Active Directory is a feature of Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 Server. Group Policy,
a component of Active Directory, includes a Software Installation snap-in that enables an
administrator to create a network installation. The administrator can install software to
Windows XP or Windows Vista clients. The administrator cannot use the snap-in to
install to clients with older versions of the Windows operating system.
Active Directory supports three main installation scenarios: Publish to Users, Assign to
Users, and Assign to Computers.
Publish to Users will “advertise” the program in Add/Remove Programs in the user’s
Control Panel. The program will not be installed until the user chooses to add it.
Assign to Users will also “advertise” the program, but it will be available from a Start
Menu shortcut, a Desktop shortcut, and from Add/Remove programs in the user’s Control
Panel.
Assign to Computers will install the software on the computer during the next computer
reboot.
PDF Converter Enterprise and PDF Create Enterprise supports the Assign to Computers
scenario and will successfully install the software when the computer is rebooted. It can
be delayed on Windows XP clients when the administrator enables logon optimization for
group policy, in which case you will see an entry in the event log after the first reboot, as
shown below. The installation is then performed on the second reboot.

14
 Nuance PDF Converter Enterprise 6 and Nuance PDF Create Enterprise 6 Network Install Guide

Figure 9 The installation is performed on the second reboot.

The installation takes place silently, and the software is installed for all users on the
computer.
PDF Converter Enterprise and PDF Create Enterprise does not support the Publish to
Users or Assign to Users scenarios.
Active Directory also supports ZAP files as a mechanism for installing programs that are
not compatible with Microsoft Windows Installer. Because PDF Converter Enterprise and
PDF Create Enterprise is Windows Installer compatible, ZAP files are not necessary.

3.2.2.2 Deployment example (Installation in existing organizational units)

Requirements:
 A deployment target computer that is a member of a domain, site, or
organizational unit.
 MSI 3.1 installed on the target (client) computer.
 A working Active Directory environment.
 The previously created admin.mst transform file;
 The language transform files (for instance: 1031.mst – German; 1033.mst –
English; 1036.mst – French, etc.)

15
 Nuance PDF Converter Enterprise 6 and Nuance PDF Create Enterprise 6 Network Install Guide

Steps:
1. Select Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Active Directory Users and
Computers.
2. Right-click the site, domain, or organizational unit that contains the
deployment computer.
3. Select Properties, click the Group Policy Tab, and then click New.
4. Specify a descriptive name.
5. Click Edit.
6. In the Group Policy Window, right-click Computer
Configuration/Software Settings/Software Installation.
7. Click New, and then click Package.
8. Select "Advanced Published or assigned".
9. Click OK.
10. Proceed as described above for the vcredist.msi and vc_red.msi file(s).
Remember to publish both 32 and 64-bit .msi files on 64-bit systems.
11. Repeat the steps above with the right msi package of PDF Converter
Enterprise (Nuance PDF Professional 6.msi) or PDF Create Enterprise (Nuance
PDF Create! 6.msi). Remember different msi package files should be used on 32
and 64-bit systems.
12. Select the 'Modifications' tab then click 'Add' when the Properties dialog
box appears.
13. Select the admin.mst transform file and the relevant language transform
file from over the network.
14. Click OK.
Active Directory is ready to install the product on client computers.

3.2.2.3 Uninstallation
1. Select the package 'PDF Converter Enterprise’ or ‘PDF Create Enterprise’
from 'Software settings\Software installation'.
2. Right-click it and select 'All tasks/Remove'.
3. Choose 'Immediately uninstall the software from users and computers'.

This will remove all integration entries.

NOTE: On clients that have Microsoft Office 2000, after uninstallation clients must
reboot.

Install the advertised product.
If ‘Only when no user is logged on’ option was selected when the package was
created (see step 11 in the previous section) the product will be installed to the client
machine silently, while the user is not logged in.
II. Installation with a Package Definition File

You can also install the product via a package definition file (.sms). This file is
created during administrative setup (Nuance PDF Professional 6.sms or Nuance PDF
Create 6.sms) and is available in the ‘Distribute Software Wizard’ dialog if the option
‘Create a new package from a definition’ is selected.

3.2.3.4 Uninstallation
To uninstall product from an SMS server, you can choose from several methods. Here we
present two of them:
 If the product was installed with a Package Definition File (.sms) you have the
option to uninstall it as soon as it is no longer advertised. Choose Properties of the
advertised program, then go to Advanced. Mark the checkbox “Remove software
when it is no longer advertised” (see screenshot) and enter the proper Uninstall
Registry Key (this can be found in the .sms file).

Figure 10 SMS Uninstallation.

The above shown Uninstall Registry Key is just an illustration.

 Use the following command line for software removal:

msiexec /x “[msi file]” [/q[n|b]]
Note: On clients that have Microsoft Office 2000, after uninstallation clients must reboot.
