Install
To install novaPDF (Lite, Standard or Professional) on your computer you need to have
administrative rights. The installation process does not take much time. All you need to do is
to follow the instructions of the "Setup - novaPDF Printer" 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, no need to uninstall it. If it is a minor release your old settings will be
preserved. If it is a major release it will not overwrite the previous version. During setup you
will have the option to import the profiles from previous versions and later you can uninstall
the older version. After the installation process finishes, you might be asked to reboot your
computer.
