The installer of Nuance Power PDF detects earlier versions of the product. Two versions of the same product can co-exist on a single computer. The installer prompts you to keep both versions or remove the older version before installation.
Insert the CD-ROM or DVD into the appropriate drive
The installation program will start automatically. If it does not, locate your CD-ROM/DVD drive in Windows Explorer and double-click the program’s setup.exe file.
Select a language for installation. The InstallShield® Wizard will appear.
(If you have downloaded the program from the Nuance web site or a reseller's site, double-click its setup.exe file.)
Follow the on-screen instructions
You must accept the license agreement in order to proceed.
For some program variants you must enter a serial number. You will find this on the CD or DVD packaging or on the Nuance web site or a reseller's site, at the download location. Some resellers let you see the serial number at a later time, by returning to your purchase order. Be sure to keep the serial number in a safe place; it is fully checked only during product activation and is also needed for any re-installations.
Select a Typical or a Custom installation.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON INTEGRATIONS: Power PDF Standard automatically installs connectors for the cloud storage sites Dropbox and Evernote, even with a Typical installation. But Power PDF Advanced does not enable any connectors automatically. If you want connections to Dropbox and Evernote and any supported Document Management Systems (including Microsoft SharePoint), you must perform a Custom install and specifically enable the ones you want. To add or change connectors later, you must re-run the installer, select Power PDF and click Change.
The installer offers a default location for the program. Accept it or define a different one. Do not install the product to the Windows installation directory, to other system folders or mapped network drives.
You can choose to make Power PDF your default viewer for PDF files and create shortcuts to the program.

Activate
Some variants of this product require activation; if this is the case, you will be invited to activate the product when you first use it. Please ensure that web access is available. Provided your serial number is found at its storage location and has been correctly entered, no user interaction is required and no personal information is transmitted. You will also have the option of Activating manually. This uses a secure and private activation process if your PC is connected to the Internet. The activation does not send or expose any user or application data – it is used to confirm that you have a valid serial number that has not been used by others.
If you do not activate at first start up, you will be invited to do this each time you invoke the program or any of its components. If activation is required, your Nuance product can be launched only five times without activation.
Notes
We recommend Automatic Activation. If you choose Manual Activation, you have to activate both PDF Convert and Power PDF separately.
The user performing installation or un-installation should have Administrator rights on the computer. Administrator rights are recommended for activation and de-activation.
You will be allowed to re-install the program a reasonable number of times without having re-activation problems, because un-installation includes a de-activation step. The serial number is needed for re-installation and web access is needed for de-activation and re-activation.
