If you want to reinstall novaPDF Server from the client computers and from the server itself, the indicated solution would be to do first a total uninstall and after that install the new version. To do so, follow the tutorial below.

Reinstalling novaPDF Server on the Server computer
1. Uninstall all novaPDF versions from your server computer (don't just delete them from Printers and Faxes, but uninstall from Control Panel\Add or Remove Programs)
2. Restart the server computer and log on with an user that has administrative privileges
3. Manually delete the following files (if any):
  • nova*.exe
  • nova*.dll
  • nvactx*.dll
  • nvimg*.dll
  • nova*.clg
  • nova*.chm
  • nova*.ctm
  • nova*.lng
  • nova*.nvp
  • nova*.lic
from all these folders:
  • C:\WINDOWS\system32\
  • C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86
  • C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3
Now novaPDF is completely removed from your computer.

4. Install novaPDF Server again (and share it if your users connect to it as a shared network printer)

On the Client computers (in case your users connect to the novaPDF server as a shared network printer)
1. Delete the novaPDF network printer from Printers and Faxes
2. Restart the client computer and log on with an user that has administrative privileges
3. Manually delete the following files (if any):
  • nova*.exe
  • nova*.dll
  • nvactx*.dll
  • nvimg*.dll
  • nova*.clg
  • nova*.chm
  • nova*.ctm
  • nova*.lng
  • nova*.nvp
  • nova*.lic
from all these folders:
  • C:\WINDOWS\system32\
  • C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86
  • C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3
Now novaPDF should be completely removed from the client computer.
4. Add a printer connection to the newly installed shared novaPDF printer on the server.

Note: After the printer connection is added, open "Printing Preferences" for the novaPDF printer and check the version and build number on the About page. There should be the same version and build number on the server and on the client.
