Insert the CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive
The installation program will start automatically. If it does not, locate your CD-ROM drive in Windows Explorer (in WIndows 8 or 10, File Explorer) and double-click the AutoRun.exe file. Select a language for installation. The InstallShield® Wizard will appear.
If you have downloaded the program from the Kofax web site, double-click its autorun.exe file.)
Note
Do not use the setup.exe located on the installation media! It does not perform the complete installation.
License and Serial Number
You must accept the license agreement in order to proceed. You must enter a serial number. You will find this on the CD sleeve or on the Kofax web site at the download location. Serial numbers never include the letter “O”, always use zero. 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.
Location and Setup Type
The installer offers a default location for the program. Accept it or define a different one. Select Complete or Custom Setup. Choose Custom Installation to enable or disable the integration of PDF Create in other programs. By default, all the programs offered in the PDF Create Integration panel of the InstallShield Wizard will be enabled. (You can change integration settings later by choosing the program under Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel and clicking Change and then Repair. In Windows 7 and 8, choose Programs and Features.) Do not install the product to the Windows installation directory, to other system folders or mapped network drives.
Click Finish
You will be invited to activate the product at the end of installation. 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. If you do not activate the product at installation time, you will be invited to do this each time you invoke the program. PDF Create generates PDF files with a trial watermark on each page if you use it without activation. If you ignore the first five activation prompts, you must activate product manually - a more time-consuming process. 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 reinstallation and web access is needed for de-activation and re-activation. For registration and activation troubleshooting see the Kofax Knowledge Base at https://www.kofax.com/imaginghelp .

Notes
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.
Keep the serial number of earlier versions, to retain the option of installing them on a different computer.
