<strong>PDF</strong> flavors<br />
There are three basic types of <strong>PDF</strong> files. <strong>PDF</strong> <strong>Reader</strong> can open all three<br />
types:<br />
<strong>PDF</strong> Image: The <strong>PDF</strong> pages are presented as images so the content is<br />
fixed and cannot be edited or searched. They can contain comments and<br />
form controls, since these are not part of the real <strong>PDF</strong> content.<br />
<strong>PDF</strong> Searchable: The <strong>PDF</strong> pages are presented as images, guaranteeing<br />
content integrity, but the files contain a text layer behind the page<br />
images so file content can be searched, but the real <strong>PDF</strong> page content<br />
cannot be modified. They can contain comments and allow form filling.<br />
<strong>PDF</strong> Normal: The <strong>PDF</strong> pages have editable and searchable content. This<br />
editing of real <strong>PDF</strong> page content (such as with a Touch-Up or Typewriter<br />
Tool) can be performed by <strong>PDF</strong> editors such as <strong>Nuance</strong> <strong>PDF</strong> Converter<br />
Professional – in this case protection against unauthorized changes can<br />
be achieved by security settings.<br />
Installation and Registration<br />
<strong>PDF</strong> <strong>Reader</strong> 7 is designed to co-exist with other imaging products from<br />
<strong>Nuance</strong>. You should have administrator rights on the computer to install<br />
the program. You need web access for online registration.<br />
1. Download and double-click the exe file<br />
After downloading the file set, double-click the program’s exe file. The<br />
InstallShield ® Wizard appears.<br />
2. License and settings<br />
You must accept the license agreement in order to proceed. The installer<br />
offers a default location for the program. Accept it or define a different<br />
one. Choose whether or not to make <strong>PDF</strong> <strong>Reader</strong> 7 your default<br />
application for viewing <strong>PDF</strong> files. You must choose this if you want a<br />
double-click on a <strong>PDF</strong> file on the desktop, in Windows Explorer, Internet<br />
Explorer or on Outlook attachments to open the file in <strong>PDF</strong> <strong>Reader</strong> 7.<br />
Choose to enable or disable JavaScript support. Disabling it protects your<br />
computer better but removes some functionality. See page 13 on form<br />
submission and page 17 on later enabling/disabling.<br />
The installation places a program icon on your desktop.<br />
3. Click Finish and Register<br />
Registration runs at the end of installation. Select Register Online to<br />
establish a connection to the <strong>Nuance</strong> web site. We provide an easy<br />
electronic form that can be completed in a few moments. When the form<br />
is filled, click Submit. If you decide not to register or to be reminded<br />
later, you can go to http://www.nuance.com to register online any time<br />
later. Click on Support and from the main support screen choose Product<br />
