Introduction

 

 

In today’s business environment there is a tremendous need for companies to convert business content to Adobe PDF. This is apparent by the many requests programmers and IT professionals receive from managers in industries that range from the legal field to the financial and insurance fields. We realized this a few years ago and that is when we began to work on the suite of software products that are offered by Neevia Technology. We understand that we live in a PDF world and we set out to create an application that would change the way people view share and work with e-documents.

 

Neevia Document Converter is a software product that dynamically converts HTML, Microsoft Office 2000, XP, 2003, 2007, Office 97, WordPerfect, OpenOffice, PostScript and many other document types into PostScript, PDF, JPEG, TIFF, PNG, PCX and BMP. It operates in both a batch mode via directory or email scanning and in direct mode via a COM component.

 

Document Converter Pro is easy to install and is used by companies in the legal, pharmaceutical, insurance and in many other areas that generate voluminous documents. The goal of Document Converter Pro is to help your company create one PDF standard that can be integrated into your workflow with ease and affordability.

 

 

 

 

 

 

System Requirements

 

The system requirements are:

 

• Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4.0, 2000, XP or 2003.

• At least 20 MBytes of free disk space.

• Memory requirement is heavily dependent on the nature of the job being converted.


Installing and Uninstalling Document Converter Pro

 

Before installing and/or using this product, please make sure you carefully read the copyright notice and agree to all of its terms. If you have any questions about the licensing agreement, please feel free to call or email sales@neevia.com in our sales department.

 

To install Document Converter Pro:

download and save the http://neevia.com/prods/dcpro.exe file to your hard disk. After downloading the file, double-click it and follow the instructions. The installation procedure automatically detects your operating system, copies the needed files to your system directory and installs Document Converter Pro in your system.

 

NOTE: On Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP, you must be logged in as an Administrator to install Document Converter Pro.

 

Unattended installation:

To perform an unattended (silent) installation launch Document Converter Pro installer with /sp- /verysilent /norestart command line switches. Here is the full list of supported switches:

 

/SP-

Disables the "This will install... Do you wish to continue?" prompt at the beginning of Setup.

 

/SILENT, /VERYSILENT

Instructs Setup to be silent or very silent. When Setup is silent the wizard and the background window are not displayed but the installation progress window is. When a setup is very silent this installation progress window is not displayed. Everything else is normal so for example error messages during installation are displayed and the startup prompt is (if you haven't disabled it with '/SP-' command line option explained above). If a restart is necessary and the '/NORESTART' command isn't used (see below) and Setup is silent, it will display a “Reboot now?” dialog. If it's very silent it will reboot without asking.

 

/NOCANCEL

Prevents the user from canceling during the installation process, by
disabling the Cancel button and ignoring clicks on the close button. Useful along with /SILENT.

 

/NORESTART

Instructs Setup not to reboot even if it's necessary.

 

/DIR="x:\dirname"

Overrides the default directory name displayed on the Select Destination Directory wizard page. A fully qualified pathname must be specified.


/GROUP="folder name"

Overrides the default folder name displayed on the Select Start Menu Folder
wizard page.

 

/user="username", /company="company name", /serial="serial number" 

Use these switches to pass the registration info (username, company name and serial number) to the installer.

 


To remove Neevia Document Converter Pro from your system:

1. Select Settings -> Control Panel from the Start menu.

 

2. In the Control Panel click Add/Remove programs and select Document Converter Pro from the list.

 

3. Click the Add/Remove button to remove the program.

 

A confirmation prompt is displayed.

 

NOTE: In some circumstances the uninstaller is unable to remove the Neevia Converter printer from the Windows printing system. If this happens, you should reboot your computer and uninstall again.

 

 

Unattended uninstall:

To perform an unattended (silent) uninstall, launch unins000.exe from the folder where Document Converter Pro has been installed with /verysilent /norestart command line switches. Here is the full list of supported switches:

 

/SILENT, /VERYSILENT

When specified, the uninstaller will not ask the user for startup confirmation or display a message stating that uninstall is complete. Shared files that are no longer in use are deleted automatically without prompting. Any critical error messages will still be shown on the screen. When '/VERYSILENT' is specified, the uninstallation progress window is not displayed. If a restart is necessary and the '/NORESTART' command isn't used (see below) and '/VERYSILENT' is specified, the uninstaller will reboot without asking.

 

/NORESTART

Instructs the uninstaller not to reboot even if it's necessary.


Native Applications Supported

 

In order for the Neevia Document Converter to do its job properly, you will need to install the prerequisite applications (e.g. Microsoft Word) to process the documents. Neevia Document Converter software does not have any formatting or document reading capabilities.
