Why are PDF files popular?
The Portable Document Format has become a de-facto standard for
document exchange across platforms and computing environments.
More than 200 million PDF documents are posted on the World Wide
Web. Key benefits that have driven this popularity are:
Integrity: PDF files look like the original documents they were
created from. They conserve their appearance after sharing -
regardless of platform, operating system, installed fonts or local
settings on each computer or device.
File size: In many cases, PDF files can be more compact than their
source documents - ideal for file transfer.
Security: PDF files can be digitally signed and password protected
to prevent unauthorized changes.
Sharing: While the basic document content can be frozen,
commenting and mark-up tools allow collective authoring and
document review.
This professional product has three parts for creating, editing and
unlocking PDF files. These are all installed and activated with a single
procedure. An Enterprise version of the product provides advanced
features useful in corporate environments.

Create PDF Files
Nuance PDF Create 8 lets you create PDF files from a wide
range of file types. The Print dialog box in your print-capable
applications will offer a printer named Nuance PDF Create.
The PDF Create Assistant lets you compile a list of files generated by
different applications. You can also create PDFs from XPS files.
Each file can be converted to a separate PDF file, or they can be
combined, overlaid or packaged into a single file. When working in
Microsoft WordTM, Excel, or PowerPoint you can call on the program
to create a PDF file directly from your current document. During
conversions hyperlinks and comments can be transferred and you can set
bookmarks to be generated from the structure of the Word document,
each worksheet in Excel or for each slide in a PowerPoint presentation.
Document information (metadata) can also be transferred. When
working in Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes, message attachments
can be saved as PDF files. As you write a new message or a reply, you can
choose a non-PDF file from your computer to have it converted to PDF
and attached.
The program can create PDF files in versions 1.3 to 1.7 and PDF/A.
Files can be protected by passwords and can include watermarks.
Compression and font settings give you control over PDF file size and
appearance.

author, subject and keywords. The created file(s) can also be directed as
attachments to an E-mail message, ready for distribution.
The Nuance PDF Create Properties dialog box can be accessed from the
Print dialog box in your applications. When working from the Create
Assistant or Windows Explorer, these settings are made through the
profiles. If you need to access these settings from Microsoft Word,
choose File/Print instead of the Create PDF button. The Settings button
also provides access to it, via the Advanced Settings tab.

How to package files
A package is a single PDF file that contains a set of PDF files. Packages
help you group related files, making it easier to send them by e-mail.
To package a set of files, maybe of differing file types, select them in the
PDF Create Assistant. Choose packaging as the assembly instruction.
Click Options to choose which cover page to use: a Create Assistant
Template or the first listed file.
Click the Create button to have PDF files created or
transmitted into the package. To open a PDF package you must use a
recent PDF viewer or editor, such as Nuance PDF Converter Professional

Advanced Edit mode
This is new to PDF Converter Professional 8; in addition to the
traditional mode of working, now known as PDF View, the Advanced
Edit mode allows freer editing of document content, in particular, its
text. It offers a wide range of editing, reviewing and marking-up tools,
similar to those found in word processor programs. See the Help topic
Advanced Edit Toolbars. Finalize your edits when ready and navigate to the
PDF View, where you can save, print or send the document with all
changes intact.
Connectors
Open files from popular cloud services, such as Dropbox, Evernote,
PaperPort Anywhere or others via the Nuance Cloud Connector. Results
can be returned to these sites.
Collaboration
This cloud-based service opens the door to multi-user editing of PDF
files, document sharing, screen sharing, chat and voice conferencing.
This feature is provided by a Nuance partner. When the program is first
launched you are prompted to sign in. Click the 'New account' link,
enter an e-mail address and a password to be used at each sign-in.
Document Security
To modify the security settings for your document, click Document >
Document Properties and choose the Security tab. This will always
display your current settings. You can choose to protect your document
by passwords or certificate security at different levels.
23
specify the search criteria. A PDF Index file (.zpi) is a searchable archive
of PDF documents. Click Document > Indexing to create a new index,
modify an existing one or to work with embedded indexes.
Dictate Notes
Notes can be added by dictation using Nuance Dragon Notes, if your
computer is enabled for sound and you have an internet connection. Use
your microphone to transmit dictation to the Dragon Notes server in the
Cloud and receive back the written note into your PDF file. No setup or
registration is required.
PDF Optimizer
Optimize your PDF to best fit its purpose. Click Tools > Optimize PDF
and specify target requirements such as fast web view, object and image
compression, scanned page settings, font embedding and more. You can
also add tags to PDF files, to have their logical structure (paragraphs,
titles, pictures, tables, cells, etc.) identified and logged.
PDF Printing
In addition to the usual print choices you can choose to print the PDF
with or without comments. You can print selected pages only. You can
also print form fields only, allowing you to print an empty form, fill it
electronically, and then print your responses onto the empty form. The
Imposition tools lets you to prepare PDF pages for physical printing.
Table of Contents
Insert a Table of Contents in your document, based on bookmarks. Open
the bookmark panel, set bookmarks and their ranking, then choose
Table of Contents from the bookmark panel's shortcut menu. The TOC
is useful when the PDF is physically printed and bookmarks are no
longer available.
24
PDF Document comparison
This lets you compare two PDF files with similar content - typically an
earlier and later version of one document. Access this from the
Document menu, then choose to see a visual or a textual comparison,
with a side-by-side or combined presentation. The latter shows only one
document and marks object or text changes: new text is underlined
while deleted text appears in a marker tooltip.
PDF splitting
You can split large PDF files into a set of smaller ones so they are easier to
distribute. Access this from the Document menu and choose splitting
criteria: by file size, blank pages, number of pages, bookmarks, document
structure, etc. You can also extract pages by criteria that you specify.
PDF portfolios
Portfolios let you collect a set of documents relating to a particular topic
for convenient distribution. PDF Professional provides this by extending
the previous PDF Create support for packages. A portfolio is superior to
a package because it can contain documents of differing file types (all
documents in a package must be PDF files) as well as folders and folder
structures. Support for displaying non-PDF pages is added.
25
Place files in an Envelope
This is similar to packaging files, but in this case the files become
attachments to the enclosing PDF and keep their original file types.
An envelope file acts as a cover page.
Archive E-mail
PDF Professional lets you archive selected e-mails and e-mail
folders. You can choose to create a single PDF from each message,
merge all selected archive items into one PDF (each message
will be bookmarked inside it), or package the selected items. Message
attachments keep their original file types.
Batch processing
This lets you build a series of commands and their settings into a named
and stored sequence, letting you efficiently apply pre-defined processing
to groups of PDF files repeatedly, by just running a sequence. Input and
output file names and locations can be predefined or enquired run-time
and output can be to non-PDF file types. It is also possible to run a batch
processing sequence on all PDF files currently open in PDF Professional.
In that case the output is always PDF and it replaces the input files
inside the program.
26
The following features are provided only in the Enterprise
edition, along with Enterprise documentation for network
administrators:
Legal Support
Legal stamps are available, along with Bates stamping and CaseMap
support for legal offices. Choose Inspect Document in the Document
menu to select items to be removed from a file, such as comments,
bookmarks, hidden text, embedded indexes or sensitive metadata like
the author's name or the file history.
27
Requirements in Help. The ability to create PDF files from or inside DM
Systems is documented at the end the PDF Create section of this guide.
The ability to unlock PDF or XPS files is similarly documented at the end
the PDF Converter section. A toolbar is added to the program for each
detected DM system, allowing you to open PDF files from the DMS, save
PDF files to DMS, access the DMS document properties, extract or
insert pages to or from the DMS or select a file of any type from the DMS
to have it attached to the current PDF document. These commands are
also available in the Connectors menu, which offers an item with a sub-
menu for each detected DMS. Commands from PDF Converter
Enterprise are also available inside SharePoint, Hummingbird Enterprise
and Interwoven Worksite.
Redaction
Document text confidentiality is achieved by redaction - the blacking
out of pieces of text or images. Select text or images to be marked for
redaction with the Redact tool in the Document menu or the Security
toolbar. This menu also allows marking for redaction by searching. The
program finds all occurrences of a given text string in the document,
letting you review them and choose which will be marked for redaction.
Use the Apply redaction menu item or button to have all marked items
(whether resulting from searches or selection) blacked out permanently.
When a redacted document is saved, the program always offers Save As,
because you should save the redacted file to a new name. The original file
remains with the redacted items marked but still readable.
Warnings:
Be aware that once a file is saved with redacted items, there is no
way of restoring the removed content it can neither be viewed
nor found by searching.
If text to be redacted contains typing errors, maybe some sensitive
data will not be removed by searching. We suggest that you
always check a search-redacted document manually before
releasing it.
28
Export PDF Files
Starting the Program
The component that lets you export the content of PDF files to editable
formats is called PDF Converter. To make its services easy to call on, it
can be started from several locations, as summarized in this table.

The PDF Converter Assistant
Start this from the Windows Start Menu. 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.
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. Click a button or use the View
menu to change the contents of the left panel.
No Assistant:
From 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 Starting the Program from other places.
31

displayed in Microsoft Excel ready for editing.
36
Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 or 2010
Use the Open PDF/XPS button in the Nuance ribbon. Select a
single PDF or XPS file with content suitable for a slide presentation and
click Open. Select settings and a page range if desired. Click the Convert
All button; the converted file appears in PowerPoint 2007 or 2010. To
view it in older PowerPoint versions you will need a Microsoft Office
compatibility pack.
Windows Explorer
1. Right-click on a PDF or XPS icon or file name in Windows Explorer
or a PDF or XPS icon on your desktop.
2. Choose a conversion mode and target from the shortcut menu. If you
choose to use the Assistant, you make these choices in its Preview
panel.
Microsoft Outlook
1. Click the Settings button (in Outlook 2003 ) in the
Nuance PDF for Outlook toolbar or the equivalent item in the
Nuance PDF menu. Choose to use the Converter Assistant or
perform a direct conversion to a target you choose. Specify whether
all PDF/XPS attachments should be converted, or request a file list
so you can select which files to convert. These settings apply to all
conversions until changed.
2. Select a message with one or more PDF or XPS file attachments.
3. Click the PDF Converter button in the Outlook toolbar or in the
message toolbar. In Outlook 2007 or 2010, use the Nuance PDF tab

39
Legal conversions
Choose to retain or drop legal-specific features:
Pleading numbers - these typically appear in left margins to define
line numbers.
Images - these are typically stamps, seals, signatures or
company logos.
Spreadsheet conversions
This mode can be used for PDF files containing partly or mainly tables.
Choose what should be placed in each Excel Worksheet:
Per Page: Each page from the PDF will enter a separate
worksheet. This will happen even if page content is not tabular;
you can specify a page range to exclude unneeded pages.
Per Table: Each detected table is converted and placed in a
separate worksheet. All content not detected as a table is placed in
a separate worksheet at the end. The detected tables do not appear
here, but are replaced by hyperlinks leading to the relevant
worksheet table.
Per Document: All content destined for a single output document
will be transferred to a single sheet. This is useful for handling
tables which extend over several pages.
When you do Standard Document conversions, tables in the PDF
become tables in the output file.
Form conversions
This uses Logical Form Recognition technology to detect form
elements and convert them correctly. Choose from:
No form controls: The result will be a fillable form with static
form elements. You can use form handling tools in the target
application to modify the form design.
Create form controls: The result will be a fillable and editable
form. You can change field labels and modify the form design.
40
Handling Mixed Input Files
Files often have mixed content: flowing text, tables and forms. In many
cases you can process these files with the setting Standard Document
and receive good results. For more precise control, your can use page
ranges to separate forms and tables and convert them separately. For
example, to best unlock a file with two pages of illustrated text, followed
by a one-page table you want to do calculations on, and finally a
three-page form - convert pages 1 and 2 as Standard Document, page 3 as
Spreadsheet and pages 4-6 as Form.
Display layer
Text layer
41
When the starting point for a PDF file is a set of images, or a scanning
process, this text layer is not present and the result is an image-only
PDF. When the starting point is an editable document, the text layer can
be created and the PDF is called 'Normal' or 'Searchable'. The creator of a
PDF can require provision of a password to allow access the text layer.
Language Support
PDF Converter supports over 100 languages, including Danish, Dutch,
English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish,
Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish. The program can convert
multi-lingual documents. A full list of supported languages is provided
in Help. Correct language choice is important for converting image-only
pages and handling non-standard encoding. The choice Auto-detect is
designed for unattended processing where input image-only PDFs might
42
be in different languages. This examines each PDF and assigns a language
to it, choosing from the 22 languages with dictionary support.
Cloud Connectors
Source files can be opened from popular Cloud storage sites, and
resulting files can be uploaded. Please see the Edit PDF Files section for
more information.
