Install
To install novaPDF on your computer you need to have administrative rights. The installation process does not take much time. All you need to do is follow the instructions of the "Setup - novaPDF" wizard.
If this is the first time you install, there is no need to reboot at the end of the setup; you can print to novaPDF right after it is installed on your machine. If you have already installed an older version of novaPDF, you can install the new version on top of the older one, without uninstalling it. If it is a minor release your existing printing preferences will be preserved, there's no need to uninstall the older version. If it is a major release it will not overwrite the previous version, you will have to uninstall it yourself. After the installation process finishes, you might be asked to reboot your computer.
Network install
novaPDF server editions (Lite, Standard or Professional) can be installed on a central computer and used by any computer in the network. This is what you have to do:
Choose a computer in the network that will be the "print server". Install novaPDF server (Lite, Standard or Professional) on it, as described in the Install section.
If you will be connecting to novaPDF using Remote Desktop, Terminal Services or Citrix sessions then you do not need to share and install on the client computers anything.
If you are not using Remote Desktop, Terminal Services or Citrix you have to share the novaPDF printer. From any workstation ("client computer") in the network, connect to the shared novaPDF server. You can connect to a shared network printer in several ways. Here are two of them:
| • | from Windows Start menu, Settings, open Printers and Faxes. Select Add Printer and choose the novaPDF server you shared on the "print server". |
| • | in Windows Explorer, go to the "print server", open Printers and Faxes, select novaPDF server and from the pop-up menu choose Connect |
After a connection was made to the novaPDF server, you can see it in your list of printers on the workstation ("client computer"). You can go to any application and print to it.
