Introduction

novaPDF is a virtual printer driver for Windows. Instead of printing on paper, it creates Adobe PDF files.

What is PDF?

Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) is a universal file format that preserves the fonts, images, graphics, and layout of any source document, regardless of the application, hardware and operating system used to create it. PDF files are compact and complete, and can be shared, viewed, and printed by anyone with free Adobe Reader® software (or other third party PDF readers). PDF documents are also independent of the output device on which they are to be displayed or printed.

PDF has become the de facto standard for the electronic exchange of documents. Major corporations, government agencies, and educational institutions streamline their operations by replacing paper-based workflow with electronic exchange of information.

Why use novaPDF?

novaPDF can convert any printable file into a PDF file. Its purpose is to enable users to easily exchange electronic documents, independently of the environment in which they were initially created. It also helps companies to publish reports, marketing plans, price lists, contracts, and any other documents in a portable electronic document format.

How to use novaPDF?

All you have to do is to click Print from the application displaying the document and choose the novaPDF to create PDF files. You can generate high-quality and searchable PDF files from any Windows application.

You can choose a default folder and file name for generated PDF files, or you can set them at each print job. You can also choose different options for the output PDF file, including custom paper size, resolution, portrait and landscape orientation, scale, image compression, font embedding, PDF security and document metadata.

To create a PDF file you only need a windows application that can print (like Notepad or Wordpad).

To view PDF files, you need the FREE Adobe Acrobat Reader® (you can download it from www.adobe.com) or any other PDF viewer application.

novaPDF is compatible with Windows 2000/XP/2003 Server/Vista and requires approximately 6MB of free disk space.
