The Nuance® Create Assistant allows you to create PDF files from a set of source files coming from a variety of applications, including existing PDF files. Each file can be converted to a separate PDF, or a group of files can be combined, in listed order, into a single PDF. Files can also be overlaid or packaged.
Start Create Assistant from the Microsoft® Windows® Start Menu in the Power PDF group, or from the shortcut menu on the Power PDF icon in the Windows taskbar. You can also call it from integrated Office applications.
List of files
Use the Add button to build up a list of files in Create Assistant. From its drop-down menu:
Select Open file to browse for files from your local computer or drag-and-drop files from Windows Explorer or your desktop into the list area.
Select Open from DMS to browse for files from a Cloud storage site, a SharePoint server or another Document Management System.
Use the Delete button to remove selected files from this list
Use the Clear button to remove all the files.
The removed files will not be deleted from your computer, only from this list.
Change the file order with the up and down arrows.
