Installing and Uninstalling Neevia docuPrinter TSE
Before installing and/or using this product, please make sure you have carefully read the copyright notice
and agreed to all of its terms. If you have any questions about the licensing agreement, please feel free to
call (954) 981.9252 or email sales@neevia.com.

If you are using an earlier version of Neevia DocuPrinter on your system, it is recommended that you
uninstall it before installing Neevia docuPrinter TSE v7.2.

To install Neevia docuPrinter TSE:


download and save the https://neevia.com/download/dptse file to your hard disk. After downloading the file,
double-click on it and follow the instructions. The installation procedure automatically detects your operating
system, copies the needed files into your system directory and installs Neevia docuPrinter TSE.

NOTE: you must be logged in as an Administrator to install docuPrinter TSE.

Unattended installation:
To perform an unattended (silent) installation launch docuPrinter TSE 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 Setup is very silent the 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 is not 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.

/NOMACRO
Prevents docuPrinter from installing the Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Publisher macros.

/NOWORD
Disables the Microsoft Word docuPrinter macros installation. (Cannot be used with /NOMACRO switch)

/NOEXCEL
Disables the Microsoft Excel docuPrinter macros installation. (Cannot be used with /NOMACRO switch)

/NOPOWERPOINT
Disables the Microsoft PowerPoint docuPrinter macros installation. (Cannot be used with /NOMACRO switch)

/NOPUBLISHER
Disables the Microsoft Publisher docuPrinter macros installation. (Cannot be used with /NOMACRO switch)

/NOPDFDESKTOP
Instructs Setup not to install PDFdesktop.

/NOTWEAKDP
Instructs Setup not to install tweakDP.

/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 docuPrinter TSE from your system:


1. Select Settings -> Control Panel from the Start menu.

2. In the Control Panel click Add/Remove programs and select docuPrinter TSE from the list.

3. Click the Add/Remove button to remove the program.

A confirmation prompt is displayed.

NOTE: In some circumstances the uninstaller is unable to remove the Neevia docuPrinter TSE 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 docuPrinter TSE 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.

Create PDF files
When you print to Neevia DocuPrinter TSE from a published application, docuPrinter prompts you for a
destination folder for the output file (screenshot). In that window select PDF as output format then press
the "Configure Output" button to edit the output settings – the following screen will be displayed:

Optimize for
For your convenience there are several sets of predefined settings for creating PDF files. These settings are designed to
balance file size with quality, depending on how the PDF file is to be used:

• Default - is intended to be useful across a wide variety of uses, possibly at the expense of a larger output file. All color and
grayscale images are downsampled at 72 dpi, monochrome images at 300 dpi; subsets of all fonts used in the file are
embedded; and all information is compressed. PDF files created using this setting are compatible with Acrobat 4.0 (and later).

• Screen - is for PDF files that will be displayed on the World Wide Web or an intranet, or that will be distributed through an
e-mail system for on-screen viewing. This set of options uses compression, downsampling, and a relatively low resolution;
converts all colors to RGB; maintains compatibility with Acrobat 3.0; to create a PDF file that is as small as possible.

• Printer - is for PDF files that are intended for desktop printers, digital copiers, publishing on a CD-ROM, or to send to a client
as a publishing proof. In this set of options, file size is still important, but it is not the only objective. This set of options uses
compression and downsampling to keep the file size down, tags everything for color management, and prints to a medium
resolution to create a reasonably accurate rendition of the original document.

• Prepress - is for PDF files that will be printed as high-quality final output to an imagesetter or platesetter, for example. In
this case, file size is not a consideration. The objective is to maintain all the information in a PDF file that a commercial printer
or service bureau will need to print the document correctly. This set of options downsamples color and grayscale images at 300
dpi, monochrome images at 1200 dpi, embeds subsets of all fonts used in the file, prints to a higher resolution, and uses other
settings to preserve the maximum amount of information about the original document.

General Tab

Compatibility
Select the PDF document compatibility level (a.k.a. PDF version).

Auto-Rotate Pages
Auto-Rotate Pages automatically rotates pages based on the orientation of the text. For example, some pages
(such as those containing tables) in a document may require the document to be turned sideways to be read.
Choose "None" to disable the Auto-Rotate Pages option. Choose "All" to rotate all pages in the document
based on the orientation of the majority of text. Choose "PageByPage" to rotate each page based on the
direction of the text on that page.

Resolution
Here you can define the output document resolution. Usually, a higher resolution setting will result in larger
but higher quality PDF, while a lower setting will result in smaller but lower quality PDF. You can enter a value
from 72 to 2400.
Important: Low resolution is ideal for screen viewing. However, if high-quality paper print or the accurate
control of character position is required, you should choose resolution above (include) 600dpi.

Encode binary streams to ASCII85


Enabling this option will force docuPrinter to encode binary strings in the PDF file with ASCII85 algorithm.

Compression Tab

Neevia docuPrinter TSE allows you to compress images (bitmaps), text, and graphics (line art). ReSampling feature
provides a further reduction to very large or high-resolution images.

Since the effectiveness of compression is highly data dependent for the best result, you might want to try different
compression setting for different kinds of data sources.

Compression/Image Quality
Set the compression to be applied to color, grayscale, and monochrome images. For color and grayscale
images, also set the image quality. For color or grayscale images, choose ZIP to apply the compression that
works well on images with large areas of single colors or repeating patterns, such as screen shots, simple
images created with paint programs, and black-and-white images that contain repeating patterns. Choose
JPEG, quality minimum to maximum, to apply the compression that is suitable for grayscale or color images,
such as continuous-tone photographs that contain more detail than can be reproduced on-screen or in print.
Choose Automatic to determine automatically the best quality for color and grayscale images.

NOTE: For monochrome images, choose CCITT or ZIP compression.

Make sure that monochrome images are scanned as monochrome and not as grayscale. Scanned text is
sometimes saved as grayscale images by default. Grayscale text compressed with the JPEG compression
method is “muddy” at best and may be unreadable.

ReSample
To resample color, grayscale, or monochrome images, docuPrinter combines pixels in a sample area to make
one larger pixel. You provide the resolution of your output device in dots per inch (dpi) and select the
resample algorithm:
Average Downsample – this algorithm averages the pixels in a sample area and replaces the entire area with
the average pixel color at the specified resolution.

Subsample – this algorithm chooses a pixel in the center of the sample area and replaces the entire area with
that pixel at the specified resolution. Subsample significantly reduces the conversion time compared with
downsampling but results in images that are less smooth and continuous.

Bicubic Downsample – this algorithm uses a weighted average to determine pixel color and usually yields
better results than the simple averaging method of downsampling. Bicubic is the slowest but most precise
method, resulting in the smoothest tonal gradations.

NOTE: Resampling monochrome images can have unexpected viewing results, such as no image display. If this
happens, turn off resampling and convert the file again. This problem is most likely to occur with subsample
and least likely with bicubic downsample.

Max inline image size


Specifies the maximum size of an inline image in bytes. For images larger than this size, docuPrinter will
create a XObject instead of embedding the image into the context stream. The default value is 4000. Note
that redundant inline images must be embedded each time they occur in the document, while multiple
references can be made to a single XObject image. Therefore it may be advantageous to set a small or zero
value if the source document is expected to contain multiple identical images, reducing the size of the
generated PDF.

Fonts Tab

The Fonts tab allows you to embed the fonts in the resulting PDF file.
Select Subset embedded font option to include only those characters of a font that are used in the PDF document,
to reduce document size. A "threshold" is specified to tell if font-subset is necessary. If the percentage of used
characters (compared with the total characters of the particular font) exceeds this threshold, the entire font is
embedded.

this does not affect images and shadings.

Convert CMYK Images to RGB


Enabling this option will force docuPrinter to convert CMYK images from the original document into RGB
images.

Device-Dependent Data
Choose any of the options if you are working with documents created with high-end documentation and
graphics applications, such as Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign. For more information, see the
documentation that came with the application.

"Preserve overprint settings" retains any overprint settings in files being converted to PDF. Overprinted
colors are two or more inks printed on top of each other. For example, when a cyan ink prints over a yellow
ink, the resulting overprint is a green color. Without overprinting, the underlying yellow would not be printed,
resulting in a cyan color.
Transfer functions are used for artistic effect and to correct for the characteristics of a specific output device.
For example, a file that is intended for output on a particular imagesetter may contain transfer functions that
compensate for the dot gain inherent with that printer.

"Preserve under color removal and black generation" retains these settings if they exist in the PostScript file.
Black generation calculates the amount of black to be used when trying to reproduce a particular color.
Undercolor removal (UCR) reduces the amount of cyan, magenta, and yellow components to compensate for
the amount of black that was added by the black generation.
Because it uses less ink, UCR is generally used for newsprint and uncoated stock.

"Preserve Transfer Functions" retains the transfer functions traditionally used to compensate for dot gain or
dot loss that may occur when an image is transferred to film. Dot gain occurs when the ink dots that make up
a printed image are larger (for example, due to spreading on paper) than in the halftone screen; dot loss
occurs when the dots print smaller.
With this option, the transfer functions are kept as part of the file, and are applied to the file when the file is
output.

"Preserve halftone information" retains any halftone information in files. Halftone information consists of
dots that control how much ink is deposited by halftone devices at a specific location on the paper. Varying
the dot size and density creates the illusion of variations of gray or continuous color.
For a CMYK image, four halftone screens are used: one for each ink used in the printing process. In traditional
print production, a halftone is produced by placing a halftone screen between a piece of film and the image
and then exposing the film. Electronic equivalents, such as the ones in Adobe Photoshop, let users specify the
halftone screen attributes before producing the film or paper output. Halftone information is intended for use
with a particular output device.

PDF Open Options Tab

The PDF Open Options are organized into three areas: Document Options, Window Options, and User Interface
Options. The Document Options control the appearance of the document within the document window, such as the
magnification level and how it scrolls. The Window Options apply to the document window itself in relationship to the
screen area of the user's monitor. The User Interface Options determine which controls appear when the user opens
the document.

Document Options
Determine which panes open, the page layout and magnification, and the page number at which the
document opens. Initial View determines which panes and tabs are displayed in the application window by
default. Page and Bookmarks opens the document pane and the Bookmarks tab. Page Layout determines
whether the document is viewed in single-page, facing page, continuous page, or continuous facing page
mode. Magnification sets the zoom level at which the document will display when opened. Default uses the
magnification set by the user. Open at Page sets the page at which the document opens (usually page 1).
NOTE: Setting Default for the Magnification and Page Layout options uses the individual users' settings in their
PDF viewer software.

Window Options
Determine how the window adjusts in the screen area when a user opens the document. Resize Window to
Initial Page adjusts the document window to fit snugly around the opening page, according to the options
that you selected under Document Options. Center Window on Screen positions the window in the center of

Create JPEG files
Please note that JPEG is a compression method specifically intended for continuous-tone images such as
photographs, not for graphics. For anything other than pages containing simple images the ”lossy”
compression of the jpeg format will result in poor quality output regardless of the input. To learn more
about the distinction, consult a reference about uses and abuses of JPEG, such as the JPEG FAQ -
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/jpeg-faq/

To create a JPEG file print to docuPrinter, then in the "Save As" screen (screenshot) select "JPEG image
(*.jpg)" as output file format and press the Save button.

To configure the advanced output settings click the Configure Output button – you should see the following
screen:

General Settings Tab


Resolution sets the JPEG resolution.

JPEG Quality sets the output quality level according to the widely used IJG quality scale, which balances the extent of
compression against the fidelity of the image when reconstituted. Lower values drop more information from
the image to achieve higher compression, and therefore have lower quality when reconstituted.

Colors tab allows you to select the number of colors in the output document.

Filename suffix
Since the jpeg format doesn’t support multi-page files, when printing documents that have more than 1 page,
docuPrinter will produce a jpeg file for each page of the original document. The filename suffix allows you to
control how the single page files will be named - if you set %d docuPrinter will add the page number to the
file name. You can also control the number of digits used in the file name by replacing %d with %0Nd where N
is the number of digits you want to have, for example %03d will force docuPrinter to produce files with names
like this: 'filename001.jpg', ... , 'filename010.jpg', ... %04d will produce: 'filename0001.jpg', ... ,
'filename0010.jpg', ...

Text antialiasing
Graphics antialiasing

These options control the use of subsample antialiasing. Their use is highly recommended for producing high

be used for faster rendering. Antialiasing is enabled separately for text and graphics content. Allowed values
are None, 1 bit, 2 bits or 4 bits.

Note that because of the way antialiasing blends the edges of shapes into the background when they are
drawn some files that rely on joining separate filled polygons together to cover an area may not render as
expected with Graphics antialiasing at 2 or 4 bits. If you encounter strange lines within solid areas, try
rendering that file again with Graphic antialiasing at 1 bit.

Image interpolation
Select "On" to enable image interpolation for all images, improving image quality for scaled images at the
expense of speed.

Well Tempered Screening


If “On”, then the Well Tempered Screening algorithm is used for halftoning. Otherwise, a rational tangent
algorithm is chosen, which will typically result in significant differences between the screen angle and the
ruling requested, and actually rendered. Currently, the performance of WTS is reasonably good when
rendering to a full page buffer, but not optimized for banded mode.

be used for faster rendering. Antialiasing is enabled separately for text and graphics content. Allowed values
are None, 1 bit, 2 bits or 4 bits.

Note that because of the way antialiasing blends the edges of shapes into the background when they are
drawn some files that rely on joining separate filled polygons together to cover an area may not render as
expected with Graphics antialiasing at 2 or 4 bits. If you encounter strange lines within solid areas, try
rendering that file again with Graphic antialiasing at 1 bit.

Image interpolation
Select On to enable image interpolation for all images, improving image quality for scaled images at the
expense of speed.

Well Tempered Screening


If On, then the Well Tempered Screening algorithm is used for halftoning. Otherwise, a rational tangent
algorithm is chosen, which will typically result in significant differences between the screen angle and ruling
requested, and actually rendered. Currently, the performance of WTS is reasonably good when rendering to a
full page buffer, but not optimized for banded mode.

Use CIE color space


Select On to remap the device-dependent color values through a CIE color space. This can improve the
conversion of CMYK documents to RGB.

Create Photoshop (PSD) files
PSD is the image format used by Adobe Photoshop.

To create a PSD file print to docuPrinter TSE, then in the docuPrinter "Save As" screen (screenshot) select
"Photoshop document (*.psd)" as output file format and press the Save button.

To configure the advanced output settings click the Configure Output button – you should see the following
screen:

General Settings Tab


Resolution sets the PSD resolution.

Colors tab allows you to select the number of colors in the output document.

Filename suffix
Since the PSD format doesn’t support multi-page files, when printing documents that have more than 1 page,
docuPrinter will produce a jpeg file for each page of the original document. The filename suffix allows you to
control how the single page files will be named - if you set %d docuPrinter will add the page number to the
file name. You can also control the number of digits used in the file name by replacing %d with %0Nd where N
is the number of digits you want to have, for example %03d will force docuPrinter to produce files with names
like this: 'filename001.psd', ... , 'filename010.psd', ... %04d will produce: 'filename0001.psd', ... ,
'filename0010.psd', ...

Create TEXT files
Neevia docuPrinter TSE is also capable of extracting text information from the printed document. To enable
text extraction, print to docuPrinter, then in the "Save As" screen (screenshot) select "Text document
(*.txt)" as output file format and press the Save button.

Known limitations:

• The text extraction can be successful only if the printed document itself contains text information. If the
document is an image, drawing, metafile, etc, the printer driver will not be able to extract any text.
• In some cases the printing application sends the text or parts of the text as glyphs. The glyphs codes
cannot be converted back to character codes and the text file will contain unreadable characters.
• The coordinates of the beginning text are reported by the printing application. The coordinates of the end
of the text is calculated by the driver, based on the resolution, font, and the actual characters in the text. A
small variation of 1 to 5 pixels is normal.
• The coordinates of the text are saved as they are received from the printing application. Some
applications, such as Quicken, change the coordinate system during printing. The part of the driver which
generates the text output is not aware of this fact. In cases where the printing application changes the
coordinate system, the coordinates saved to the text file may not be relative to the upper left corner of
the image. There is no workaround for this issue.
• When printing contents of cells from Excel, the contents of the cells are not separated.
• Words cut in half. It is possible that the following line "This is a test line" is extracted from a document by
the docuPrinter and is saved to the text file as "T his is a te st lin e". This issue is caused by the printing
application, which sends the text as different commands. The printer driver is not aware if the text is
"correct", the text will be saved exactly how it is received from the printing application. This is most likely
to happen with applications such as Word and Notepad, when for example one part of a word or sentence
is using one font and another part of the text is using a different font, or a word was typed and then later
edited.
• When printing a document with Arabic text document with Unicode Text enabled, the Arabic text in the
text output is garbage. The origin of the problem is that some languages use fonts that require shaping.
Arabic is one of these. When an application prints Arabic text, no printer driver will receive the text itself
but instead receives an array of glyph indices. The glyph index is font specific and points to a character
location in the font. Because there is no way to convert back the glyph index into a Unicode character
code, it is not possible to retrieve the Unicode text. It is caused by the design of the operating systems
way of handling printing these kinds of fonts. This problem is found in all printer drivers that capture text,
including the docuPrinter TSE.

Using PDFdesktop to create and/or manipulate PDF files
Neevia PDFdesktop is an application that allows you not only to create PDF but to manipulate existing PDF
files giving you great flexibility and control over your documents. By using PDFdesktop you can perform
actions like add headers and footers to an existing PDF, place a watermark, extract pages, resize a PDF
document, encrypt , add/remove bookmarks, flatten form fields and many others. PDFdesktop comes in the
same installer with docuPrinter Pro and TSE also.

How to use PDFdesktop


After installing the product open Programs -> Neevia DocuPrinter -> and execute PDFdesktop.
The interface below will be displayed.

Working area contains six main menus: File, View, Document, Forms, Tools and Help. Underneath working
area there is a toolbar containing by default the following buttons: Open PDF, Create PDF, Export As,
Revert, Add Stamp, Insert Pages, Extract Pages, Resize Pages and Compress PDF. Buttons can be added or
removed by clicking Tools followed by Customize Toolbar.

File menu
It can be directly accessed by using your mouse or via keyboard by pressing Alt-F at the same time and
allows you to perform the following:

Open
Open a PDF document by selecting the Open option and navigating to folder where your PDF file is.

Create PDF
Create PDF From File, From Scanner, From Clipboard Image.
Create PDF from File - you will have to navigate to the file that you want to convert to PDF click Open and
select the conversion options in the docuPrinter interface - this is valid mostly for Microsoft Office
documents. For the rest of supported formats the conversion process will start immediately after you select
the file to be converted.

Create PDF from Scanner - this option takes you to an interface in which you have to select any of the
installed scanning devices and specify the input settings such as Sides, Color mode and Resolution. Once you
are done with the above settings in the Output section select New PDF Document. In case you want to add
the new file to an already open PDF document select Append to open document. To obtain a PDF/A
compatible file check Make PDF/A compatible.

If you need to create a PDF document that contains a high quality image click on the Optimization cursor and
move it toward the high quality setting.
Should you want to specify your own compression settings click on the Options button and select the
compression algorithms for Color/Grayscale and Monochrome compressions.
Color/Grayscale supported compression algorithms: ZIP, JPEG, JPEG2000.
Monochrome compression algorithms: ZIP, Fax, JBIG2 Lossy, JBIG2 Lossless.
To set the image quality, position the cursor for both Color/Grayscale and Monochrome compressions on the
desired position. The higher the quality the larger the file size. Once you are done click OK to go back to main
scanning interface.
As you know when obtaining a PDF from a scanned image the resulting file is not searchable.
In order to make it searchable in the Scan to PDF interface you will have to select Make Searchable (Run OCR).
Click on the Options button to specify the Primary OCR Language. Check Auto rotate image to have the image
oriented as portrait. To avoid skew distortion check Auto straighten image.
After selecting all the settings click the Scan button to acquire the image and convert it into PDF.

Create PDF from clipboard image - using this option you will be able to create a PDF from an image that was
placed in the clipboard memory space. Click the Control + Print Screen keys simultaneously then select From
clipboard image to automatically create a PDF document using the image you had in your computer clipboard
memory.

Save
this allows you to save a newly created PDF document.

Save As
it saves the file under a different name than the original one.

Export As
using this option you can export the currently open PDF into Text, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PS (Postscript) or
PDF/A.
Export As Text - works only if the PDF document is searchable. To check that in the main PDFdesktop
interface click the Search button on the main toolbar and enter any word contained by the document you
want to export from. If found that means your file is searchable.
Export As TIFF - generates a tiff image from the open PDF. When clicked, it displays a Save As window in
which you can specify the destination folder. Click on the Settings button to specify if the resulting tiff
document will be multipage or single page, Resolution, Colorspace (supported types: Monochrome ,
Grayscale, RGB , CMYK), Compression (None, LZW, ZIP) and Fill Order (MSB to LSB, LSB to MSB).
Advanced Settings Tab - in this interface you have the following options:
Text antialiasing, Graphics antialiasing: both control the use of subsample antialiasing.
Their use is highly recommended for producing high quality rasterizations. The subsampling box size
should be 4 bits for optimum output, but smaller values can be used for faster rendering.
Antialiasing is enabled separately for text and graphics content. Allowed values are None, 1 bit, 2 bits
or 4 bits. Note that because of the way antialiasing blends the edges of shapes into the background
when they are drawn some files that rely on joining separate filled polygons together to cover an area
may not render as expected with Graphics antialiasing at 2 or 4 bits. If you encounter strange lines
within solid areas, try rendering that file again with Graphic antialiasing at 1 bit.
Image interpolation - select “On” to enable image interpolation for all images, improving image quality
for scaled images at the expense of speed.
Well Tempered Screening - if “On”, the Well Tempered Screening algorithm is used for halftoning.
Otherwise, a rational tangent algorithm is chosen, which will typically result in significant differences
between the screen angle and the ruling requested, and actually rendered. Currently, the performance
of WTS is reasonably good when rendering to a full page buffer, but not optimized for banded mode.
Use CIE color space -select “On” to remap the device-dependent color values through a CIE color
space. This can help in improving the conversion of CMYK document to RGB.

PDF Overlay - allows you to specify an existing PDF file to be used as overlay.
Click Browse to select the PDF file you would like to use as overlay. If multiple pages exist you can specify
which page to be imported.
Scale – gives you the option to scale the PDF file that was selected as overlay. A scale of 50% makes the
PDF overlay half of the original PDF size, while a scale of 200% makes the PDF overlay double in size.

After you finished with the above settings you can select:
Position - specifies the measurement Units (Points, Inches, Centimeters or Millimeters), Rotation angle, Stamp
placement (as stamp: over the page content or watermark: under the page content) and the X, Y
coordinates. For the X coordinate you can use as values, instead of numbers center, left and right - as the
name suggests they will position the watermark in the center of the page, on the left or right. For Y you
have center, top and bottom which will place the watermark in the center of the page on top or in the
bottom. To position your watermark on the right lower corner use X=right and Y=bottom.
Place On - specifies the pages to stamp. Check "All pages" to place the stamp on all pages in the PDF file or
"Pages" to specify the page numbers.
Opacity - specifies how transparent the stamp should be. A value of 100 means that the stamp is completely
opaque, while a value of 0 means that the stamp is invisible.
Miscellaneous - allows you to Enable stamp removal in case later you need to remove the stamp, use the
page’s CropBox to position the stamp and/or use the page rotation parameter. The page rotation
parameter specifies the number of degrees by which the page should be rotated clockwise when displayed
or printed.
In order to see the stamp position, click the Refresh Preview button on the right-hand side. This is also valid
when you edit an existing stamp which can be done by clicking Edit stamp in the Stamps window.
Once you finished defining a stamp you can save it into a file that contains all the settings you selected. To do
that in the Stamps graphic interface click Save Stamps and select your destination folder. The file containing
your stamp settings can also be used by docuPrinter during the conversion process. You will have to specify the
path to it in the Watermark/Stamp interface when the docuPrinter Save As window is displayed. To load a
previously saved file containing stamp settings in the same interface click Load Stamps.

Insert Pages
this option allows you to insert pages into the currently open PDF file from another document. When clicked it
displays an interface in which you have to select the PDF document from which a page or pages will be
extracted followed by a second one in which you can specify where exactly to insert the new pages. The file
you insert pages from does not have to be strictly a PDF, it can be an Ms Office document (.doc, .rtf, .docx, .xls,
.xlsx, .ppt, .pptx) an image (.tif, .tiff, .gif, .bmp, .jpg ) or a postscript file (.ps, .eps).
Type 0 if you want to insert everything after the last page. In the Insert pages section specify also which
page(s) to insert - All pages, First, Last or if you want to make you own selection, in the Page textbox enter
page numbers and/or page ranges separated by commas. Example: 1,3,4,7-9. Click OK to complete the
insertion process.

Extract Pages
this option helps you extract one or more pages from a PDF file. In the Extract Pages interface enter the page
number(s) to extract and/or page ranges separated by commas. Example: 1,4,6,7-9. In case you want to delete
the extracted pages check Delete Pages After Extracting. You can also choose to save the extracted pages into
separate PDF documents by checking Extract Pages As Separate Files.

Replace Pages
by using this feature you can replace one or more pages in a PDF document with another PDF page. When
clicked it displays an interface in which you have to select the PDF document whose page(s) will be used as
replacement followed by another interface containing two sections, one for the Original PDF document in
which you can specify what page(s) to be replaced and another one for the Replacement PDF file in which you
specify which page to be used as replacement.

Delete Pages
use this option to delete one or more pages from a PDF document. In the Delete Pages interface type in the
pages to be deleted (from page number to page number) then click OK.

Resize Pages
use this option to change the page size of a PDF document and/or scale the content.
Change page size - this allows you to select the page size and orientation for the PDF document(s) you want to
resize. In case you would like to define your own page size check Custom Page Size and enter your values for
height and width specifying also the measurement units.
When Center is selected from the Place the original content in drop down box content will be placed in the
center of the resized page. It also gives you other options like Left-top corner, Left-bottom corner, Right-top
corner, Right-bottom corner, Left-center, Right-center, Center-top and Center-bottom.
Check the Scale checkbox to scale the content too. In case you would like to maintain the original proportions
between the new page dimensions and content make sure that Constrain proportions when scaling is enabled.
Resize page(s) - select All pages to resize the entire file or Pages to resize specific pages or page ranges. Enter
page numbers and/or page ranges separated by comma. Example: 1,4,10-14.

Rotate Pages
by using this option you can rotate all pages in a PDF document or only the specified ones. In the Rotate Pages
interface you will first have to select in which direction you want to rotate the pages (Clockwise 90 degrees,
Counterclockwise 90 degrees or 180 degrees) then specify the Page Range which, by default is set on All.
In case you need to specify which pages to be rotated click Page and enter your page numbers and/or page
ranges separated by commas. Example: 1,5,7,9-11. Once that is done select the orientation of the pages you
want to rotate: Pages of Any Orientation, Portrait Pages or Landscape Pages and click OK to complete the
process.

Scan to PDF
this feature allows you create a PDF document using an image acquired via a scanning device. In the Input
section you will have to select the installed scanner, Sides, Color Mode and Resolution. You need to take into
account the higher the scanning resolution the larger your PDF file will be. In the Output section you have the
following options:
New PDF document
Append to the open document
Make PDF/A compatible
In case you would like to specify in greater detail parameters about quality and compression in the
Optimization section position the quality cursor toward right for better quality and left for smaller size and
lower quality then click the Options button. All compression settings are described in the Compress PDF files
section below.
Check Make searchable (Run OCR) in case you would like PDFdesktop to perform an optical character
recognition on the resulting PDF that contains the scanned image. To specify OCR settings click the Options
button and select language along with Auto rotate image and Auto straighten image. These two options, even
though they slow down the recognition process are useful in case you would like to obtain a portrait oriented
image and eliminate the scanning angle also known as skew distortion.

Recognize Text Using OCR


The same OCR procedure described above can be used for existing PDF files that contain images. After you
selected this option specify your Primary OCR language (use English if your document was written in this
language) along with the page(s) you would like to have “OCR-ed” select All pages to “OCR” the entire file or
Pages for specific pages or page ranges. Enter page numbers and/or page ranges separated by comma.
Example: 1,4,7-9

Compress File
this feature helps you reduce the actual size of a PDF document. In the compression interface you can specify
the settings to be used during the file compression process. First you need to select the compression
compatibility level.
There are three options:
Acrobat 4 (PDF v1.3)
Acrobat 5 (PDF v1.4)
Acrobat 6 (PDF v1.5)

According to the compatibility level selected the following compression types can be used:
ZIP compression - this is a lossless algorithm which means that the content of your images will not
change after compression. Basically ZIP works like this: it scans an image to detect patterns in it and
replaces them by a single token. It can compress color, grayscale and monochrome images.
JPEG compression - designed specifically for compression of sampled continuous-tone (photographic)
images and not for general data compression, JPEG is a lossy compression method. The compression
results you can obtain using the JPEG algorithm depend on the image being compressed and the
amount of loss that is acceptable. When JPEG is selected you can set the Image quality using values
from 0 to 100. It can be used for color and grayscale images only.
Fax (CCITT) compression - designed to achieve efficient compression of monochrome (1 bit per pixel)
image data at relatively low resolutions which means that it is useful only for bitmap image data, not
for color images, grayscale images or general data.
JPEG2000 compression - defines a wavelet-based method for image compression. Compared to other
methods such as regular JPEG or CCITT, JPEG2000 gives a better size reduction. Although the filter
can reproduce samples that are lossless compressed, it is recommended only for use with color and
grayscale images and not for general data compression. When JPEG2000 is selected you can set the
Image quality using values from 0 to 100.
JBIG2 compression - designed for both lossless and lossy compression. Useful only for monochrome
images, not for color images, grayscale images, or general data. Compared to CCITT, JBIG2 provides
considerably better compression. The compression ratio it achieves depends strongly on the nature
of the image. Even though the best compression level is achieved for images of text, JBIG2 also
includes algorithms for compressing sections of an image that contain dithered halftone images
(valid mainly for photographs). When JBIG2 is selected (lossy or lossless) you can set the Image
quality using values from 0 to 10.
After you select your compression types you can check Create Object Streams which is valid only with Acrobat
6 (PDF v1.5). An object stream represents a stream that contains a sequence of PDF objects. This option allows
a greater number of PDF objects to be compressed but tends to make the process much slower.
For even better compression results you should enable the removal of Bookmarks, Text Annotations, PDF
Forms, Page Labels, PDF Layers and Article Threads by checking the corresponding checkboxes in the
compression interface.

Add/Remove Bookmarks
by using this feature you can define new bookmarks in a PDF document, remove the existing ones and/or
make changes to all bookmarks previously added by Neevia PDFdesktop.
The main purpose of a PDF bookmark is to give the user an easy way to navigate through a PDF document. As
you probably know PDF bookmarks appear on the left side of the PDF reader window - in most viewers
pressing F4 will toggle the visibility of the Bookmark panel.
To add a new bookmark in the Add/Remove Bookmarks interface click the New Bookmark button then type in
the Bookmark Title.
In the Destination section select the Type of bookmarks you would like to create.
