Installation

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 to 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, 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.
