Installation
Install
To install novaPDF on your computer you need to have administrative rights. The installation
process does not take much time. All you need to do is follow the instructions of the "Setup -
novaPDF" wizard.
If this is the first time you install, there is no need to reboot at the end of the setup; you can print
to novaPDF right after it is installed on your machine. If you have already installed an older
version of novaPDF, you can install the new version on top of the older one, without uninstalling
it. If it is a minor release your existing printing preferences will be preserved, there's no need to
uninstall the older version. If it is a major release it will not overwrite the previous version, you
will have to uninstall it yourself. After the installation process finishes, you might be asked to
reboot your computer.
Network install
novaPDF server editions (Lite, Standard or Professional) can be installed on a central computer
and used by any computer in the network. This is what you have to do:
Choose a computer in the network that will be the "print server". Install novaPDF server (Lite,
Standard or Professional) on it, as described in the Install section.
If you will be connecting to novaPDF using Remote Desktop, Terminal Services or Citrix sessions
then you do not need to share and install on the client computers anything.
If you are not using Remote Desktop, Terminal Services or Citrix you have to share the novaPDF
printer. From any workstation ("client computer") in the network, connect to the shared novaPDF
server. You can connect to a shared network printer in several ways. Here are two of them:
·
from Windows Start menu, Settings, open Printers and Faxes. Select Add Printer and
choose the novaPDF server you shared on the "print server".
·
in Windows Explorer, go to the "print server", open Printers and Faxes, select novaPDF
server and from the pop-up menu choose Connect
After a connection was made to the novaPDF server, you can see it in your list of printers on the
workstation ("client computer"). You can go to any application and print to it.

Go to the novaPDF application group (from the Windows Start menu and click Uninstall
novaPDF). You can also uninstall the application from Add or Remove programs from the

Network uninstall
On the workstations ("client computers") go to the Windows Start menu, Settings, open
