There are three basic types of PDF files. PDF Reader can open all three
types:
PDF Image: The PDF pages are presented as images so the content is
fixed and cannot be edited or searched. They can contain comments and
form controls, since these are not part of the real PDF content.
PDF Searchable: The PDF pages are presented as images, guaranteeing
content integrity, but the files contain a text layer behind the page
images so file content can be searched, but the real PDF page content
cannot be modified. They can contain comments and allow form filling.
PDF Normal: The PDF pages have editable and searchable content. This
editing of real PDF page content (such as with a Touch-Up or Typewriter
Tool) can be performed by PDF editors such as Nuance PDF Converter
Professional – in this case protection against unauthorized changes can
be achieved by security settings.
Installation and Registration
PDF Reader 6 is designed to co-exist with other imaging products from
Nuance. You should have administrator rights on the computer to install
the program. You need web access for online registration.
1. Download and double-click the exe file
After downloading the file set, double-click the program’s exe file. The
InstallShield
®
Wizard appears.
2. License and settings
You must accept the license agreement in order to proceed. The installer
offers a default location for the program. Accept it or define a different
one. Choose whether or not to make PDF Reader 6 your default
application for viewing PDF files. You must choose this if you want a
double-click on a PDF file on the desktop, in Windows Explorer, Internet
Explorer or on Outlook attachments to open the file in PDF Reader 6.
Choose to enable or disable JavaScript support. Disabling it protects your
computer better but removes some functionality. See page 13 on form
submission and page 17 on later enabling/disabling.
The installation places a program icon on your desktop.
3. Click Finish and Register
Registration runs at the end of installation. Select Register Online to
establish a connection to the Nuance web site. We provide an easy
electronic form that can be completed in a few moments. When the form
is filled, click Submit. If you decide not to register or to be reminded
later, you can go to http://www.nuance.com to register online any time
later. Click on Support and from the main support screen choose Product
