Using novaPDF
1.2.1
Introduction
With novaPDF you can create PDF files in several ways: using the novaPDF Start page, the
novaPDF add-ins for Microsoft Office or printing directly to the novaPDF printer driver.
novaPDF Start page
This start page can be opened from the program's start group (go to Start->Programs->novaPDF
and click on the executable file). It will let you quickly convert a document to PDF by selecting the
document and clicking on Create. However, it will use the default settings of novaPDF to create
the PDF file. So, if you need those changed either modify them before creating the PDF (via the
Printing Preferences window) or create the PDF by printing it directly to the novaPDF printer
driver.
