1      Introduction

 

This document covers the main installation scenarios for the Nuance Power PDF Advanced product. The Administrative setup related topics contain necessary information for special deployment systems such as Active Directory, Microsoft Systems Management Server and System Center Configuration Manager.

 

The document describes all parameters and installer options that you may want to use during product setup.

 

For system requirements of the product, see its corresponding documentation (Release Notes located in the ReadMe folder of the CD). Note that performance and speed will be enhanced if your computer’s processor, memory, and available disk space exceed minimum requirements.

 

1.1   Product definition

 

Nuance Power PDF Advanced combines the power of PDF creation, the flexibility of PDF editing, and the versatility of PDF conversion into one easy-to-use, affordable application. It provides all the critical business features you need without the cumbersome and costly print and pre-press functionality found in more expensive solutions.

 

The Advanced version of the product is designed to be deployed and used in a distributed environment. Furthermore it provides additional features compared to its Standard version:

 

  • Software activation turned off
  • Electronic product registration turned off
  • Automatic product updates turned off
  • Silent installation
  • Distributable PDF creation parameters
  • Distributable PDF product settings
  • Efficient Redaction tool to filter out sensitive PDF content.
  • Bates numbering tool for uniquely identifying each page in sets of legal documents.Support of different document management systems. (for more information, see the product release notes)

 

1.2   CD Layout

 

The delivered CD contains all mandatory components for installation of the product.

 

The application has 32- and 64-bit versions. Most of the product components are 32-bit binaries independently from the version of the target operating system. The delivered PDF printer driver and some other components vary depending on the selected system. The CD contains both versions of the product in the System32 and System64 folders. The msi files for the corresponding product versions are

 

  • .\System32\Nuance Power PDF Advanced.msi
  • .\System64\Nuance Power PDF Advanced.msi

 

 

 

Both folders contain _setup.exe. Always use the appropriate version of the .msi files or _setup.exe according to the operating system you are targeting.

 

The supported installation languages and the associated transform files are indicated in the following table. Only one can be used at a time.

2      Installation Prerequisites

 

The product requires the

 

  • Windows Installer v3.1
  • Microsoft XML Core Services 6.0 SP1
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4

 

packages to be installed on the client computers.

 

If you are going to perform the standard installation procedure via Setup.exe – located in the root folder of the CD – then Setup.exe installs these software packages automatically before launching the product installer. A reboot may be required after installation of components. The installation of the product continues automatically after reboot when you have logged in again; you are not required to launch Setup.exe again manually.

 

These packages are located in the Prerequisite folder on the CD.

 

 

 

Acitve Directory Rights Management Service

 

To work with RMS protected documents Active Directory Rights Management Service Client 2.1 and Microsoft Online Services Sign-In Assistant must also be installed. These clients can be downloaded from Microsoft as follows:

 

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38396

 

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28177

 

These client installers (both for 32-bit and 64-bit environments) can also be found on the install media:

 

  • .\ Tools\AD_RMS\setup_msipc_x86.exe
  • .\ Tools\AD_RMS\setup_msipc_x64.exe
  • .\ Tools\AD_RMS\msoidcli_32bit.msi
  • .\ Tools\AD_RMS\msoidcli_64bit.msi

 

 


3      Installation in Distributed Environments

 

In a corporate environment, system administrators may use a two-step procedure for software deployment:

 

  1. Customization with Nuance Customization Kit

 

The Customization Kit is located in the Tools folder on the CD (.\Tools\CustomKit\CustomizationKit.exe). The tool presets certain installation options to configure client installation.

 

  1. Client installation, which installs the product on the client machine according to the options prepared with the Customization Kit.

 

The following sections describe how system administrators can customize and deploy the product. Please note that the client installation can be replaced with a different deployment.

 

3.1   Customization with Nuance Customization Kit

 

This Customization Kit gives System Administrators the ability to customize the installation of Nuance Power PDF Advanced products prior to deploying the applications across their organization.

 

System requirements: The Customization Kit requires at least Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) 3.1 and Windows .Net 4.0 to be installed on client computer.

 

Note: You must use a Customization Kit version that is identical to the product version.

 

3.1.1   Overview

 

The Customization Kit helps to create a personalized package of Nuance Power PDF Advanced for organization-wide deployment.

 

Using this tool you can: choose where to install Power PDF Advanced, pre-define the serial number and make it read only, set feature installation states, set visibility of features on the Custom Setup dialog, configure default application settings, deploy custom files, add hotfixes to the Installation and import predefined application settings.


 

 

When you have finished the necessary modifications and published a package with the Customization Kit the tool stores the modified settings in the following way:

 

  • ’Personalization’, ’General’, ’Microsoft Office Integration’, ’Other Integration’, ’Connectors ’, ’Document Processing’, ’Languages’, ‘Signature’ and ‘Application Options’ settings will be stored in the admin_customSettings.mst transform file. This transform file will be located beside the .msi package file.

  • ‘Additional Files’, ‘Import Application Settings’ and ’Add hotfixes to Installation’ settings will be stored beside the .msi package file.

    Important: The ’Add hotfixes to Installation’ setting has effect only if installation is launched by setup.exe from the setup root folder.

     

    The basic customization workflow is as follows:

     

 

  1. Launch the Customization Kit

  2. Click Open Package in the Package group and select the supplied msi file.

  3. Specify parameters for your own package in the different panels.

  4. Optionally add hotfixes, additional files or import application settings.

  5. Click Publish Package in the Package group to finalize the customized installer for your own deployment.

  6. Distribute this customized installer to end-users or use it for a command line installation as described later.

    Notes:

    A command line installation will install all content except hotfixes. Hotfixes should be installed as an additional step.

    A command line installation must contain all the transform files necessary for your deployment including the admin_customSettings.mst file generated by the Customization Kit when you press Publish Package. See section 3.2.1

     

 

3.1.2   Getting Started with the Customization Kit

 

  1. Locate the Tools\CustomKit folder in your installation media and launch CustomizationKit.exe.
  2. Choose Open Package in the Package group, then browse to an .msi file (e.g. Nuance PDF Advanced.msi) and open it. At this stage you are free to pick either a 32-bit or a 64-bit package.

 

 

 

3.1.3   Customizing the installer

Besides hotfixes, you can also add other files (for instance plug-ins) to your customized package.

 

  1. Click Additional Files.
  2. You can add/modify/remove and reorder files for your package.

 

3.1.6   import application settingsIncluding existing application settings

 

To enhance propagating a shared collection of settings across your company, you can poll an already installed and configured Power PDF for settings and include these in your deployment package.

 

Available choices are determined by your Import mode selections. Under Import mode you can:

 

  • Use default product settings
  • Use settings from the locally installed product, or
  • Browse for shared product settings.

 

If you want to use shared product settings, before you start import:

 

  1. Launch Customization Kit on the machine that has your product installation to be polled.

  2. Launch the Collect Application Settings Wizard (this option is in the Wizard group)

  3. The wizard only offers to collect the settings that are different from the package you have opened. Make your selections.

  4. Browse to the folder where you want to store the collected settings.

  5. Review your settings then launch the collection process.

  6. After a successful settings collection, you are ready to Import Application Settings.

  7. Choose an Import mode to verify which choices are available for import. To include your collected settings, select the Browse for shared product settings option and locate the folder where the collected settings are stored.

    Make your selections under Settings to import. The selected options will be stored to the installation package.

     

    Important: If the Security Profile checkbox is marked under Import Application Settings the application’s default Privacy and No Modification Security schemes in the Security panel will not be transferred to the customized installation. If these two schemes are required, please create two new custom schemes that are equivalent to them.

     

 

3.1.7   Finishing the installation package

 

Once you are finished preparing the desired parameters, you are ready to publish your package to your end-users.

 

  1. Click Publish Package in the Package group.
  2. Set a target location. It is recommended to have an empty folder for your published package (the Tool warns you of this).

Note: To restart constructing your package, click Reset Settings to default on the Package group.

 

To access this Installation Guide, click Help in the Help group. To view product version information, click About.

 

3.2   Client installation

 

Nuance Power PDF Advanced supports special deployment systems such as Active Directory, Microsoft System Management Server and System Center Configuration Manager.

 

The client installation procedure always requires administrative privileges and must run with a per-machine installation context (ALLUSER=1).

 

3.2.1   Client Installation using command line

 

  1. Launch a console window on the client machine.

  2. Install the application with the following command:

    MsiExec.exe /i "source_path\Nuance Power PDF Advanced.msi" INSTALLDIR="install_path" TRANSFORMS="source_path\1036.mst; source_path\admin_customSettings.mst"

    or

    If you saved an mst file with Generate Transform in the Transform ribbon then:

    MsiExec.exe /i "source_path\Nuance Power PDF Advanced.msi" INSTALLDIR="install_path" TRANSFORMS="source_path\1036.mst; source_path\your_saved_transform.mst"

    or

    _setup.exe /l1036 /v"INSTALLDIR=\"install_path\""

    Note: If you work in Windows Vista or above it is recommended that you use setup.exe or _setup.exe, because they elevate the installation process. If you decide to use Msiexec.exe, ensure that you open the Console Window with administrative rights.

    This will install the product to the folder specified under install_path. If you omit the INSTALLDIR parameter, the product will be installed into the default installation folder. (Installation requires an empty destination folder.)

    In the above example, the selected installation language is French (1036.mst). See more in the figure: Language specific transform files.

    If you do not specify a language transform file:

 

  • _setup.exe prompts for language selection

  • msiexec.exe installs the product in its default language (English).

    Here is an example showing how to install the product with different options. To install Power PDF Advanced with a basic user interface but with no message box on completion, use the following command-line:

    MsiExec.exe /i "source_path\Nuance Power PDF Advanced.msi" INSTALLDIR=\"install_path\" /qb

    or

    _setup.exe /s /v" INSTALLDIR=\"install_path\" /qb"

    Where q defines what type of user interface the installation will use:

 

  • /qn     specifies that no user interface will be displayed
  • /qb     specifies a basic interface with a progress bar

 

and (if used) the plus sign (‘/qb+’ or ‘/qn+’) specifies that a message box will be displayed when installation has finished.

 

 

 

During the installation of the application, specific installation options are available. Several InstallShield Wizard pages drive you through the available features. These installer features cover the different integration settings (into MS Office, Windows and Internet Explorer) and the optional components of the product. These features are controllable via Customization with Nuance Customization Kit and/or command line switches as well.

  • User Interface (UI) languages

    If the value of the property NUUSERLANGUI is 0 then the installer deploys the installation language and English. The default UI language of the application is the installation language.

    This example deploys French and English UI languages. The application will use French by default:

    MSIEXEC.EXE /i "[full path]\Nuance Power PDF Advanced.msi" NUUSERLANGUI ="0" TRANSFORMS="1036.mst"

    This example deploys only English UI language. The application will use English by default:

    MSIEXEC.EXE /i "[full path]\Nuance Power PDF Advanced.msi" NUUSERLANGUI ="0"

     

    If the value of NUUSERLANGUI property is 1 then the installer deploys all the available UI languages. The default UI language of the application is the installation language.

    This example deploys all the UI languages. The application will use French by default:

    MSIEXEC.EXE /i "[full path]\Nuance Power PDF Advanced.msi" NUUSERLANGUI ="1" TRANSFORMS="1036.mst"

    This example deploys all the UI languages. The application will use English by default:

    MSIEXEC.EXE /i "[full path]\Nuance Power PDF Advanced.msi" NUUSERLANGUI ="1"

     

    If the value of the property NUUSERLANGUI is 2 then the installer deploys all the command line defined UI languages. The default UI language of the application is the installation language.

    The supported languages and the command line options are indicated in the following table.

Note: By default the value of NUUSERLANGUI is 0.

 

  • Text-To-Speech (TTS) languages

    Nuance Power PDF installer contains only 3 TTS languages: English, French and German. All the other supported languages (Chinese Traditional and Simplified, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Italian, Portuguese/Brazil, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish) are in a separated Text-To-Speech installer (see the table below). This Text-To-Speech installer is either in your original product CD (NuanceTTSModule folder) or if you have Nuance Power PDF Advanced Web Edition you can download it from Nuance.com.

    Therefore if you would like to deploy other TTS language(s) than English, French or German you have to use both the “Nuance Power PDF Advanced.msi” and the “Nuance text to speech extension module.msi”.

    The supported languages and the command line options are indicated in the following table.

Available languages and command line options of Text-To-Speech Languages

 

 

 

Deploy Power PDF without TTS languages:

 

If the value of the property NUUSERLANGTTS is 0 then the installer does not deploy the TTS feature.

 

MSIEXEC.EXE /i "[full path]\Nuance Power PDF Advanced.msi" NUUSERLANGTTS ="0"

 

Deploy Power PDF and the same TTS language as the installation language:

 

If the value of the property NUUSERLANGTTS is 1 then the installer deploys the same TTS language as the installation language.

 

This example deploys French User Interface and French as the TTS language:

 

MSIEXEC.EXE /i "[full path]\Nuance Power PDF Advanced.msi" NUUSERLANGTTS ="1" TRANSFORMS="1036.mst"

 

This example deploys English User Interface and English as the TTS language:

 

MSIEXEC.EXE /i "[full path]\Nuance Power PDF Advanced.msi" NUUSERLANGTTS ="1"

 

or

 

MSIEXEC.EXE /i "[full path]\Nuance Power PDF Advanced.msi" NUUSERLANGTTS ="1" TRANSFORMS="1033.mst"

 

This example deploys Spanish User Interface and Spanish as the TTS language. Nuance Power PDF installer doesn’t deploy TTS language because  the Spanish TTS language are in a separated Text-To-Speech installer (Nuance text to speech extension module.msi):

 

MSIEXEC.EXE /i "[full path]\Nuance Power PDF Advanced.msi" NUUSERLANGTTS ="0" TRANSFORMS="1034.mst"

 

MSIEXEC.EXE /i "[full path]\Nuance text to speech extension module.msi" NUUSERLANGTTS ="1" TRANSFORMS="1034.mst"

 

Deploy Power PDF and all  the available TTS languages:

 

If the value of the property NUUSERLANGTTS is 2 then the installer deploys all the available TTS languages.

 

This example deploys all the TTS languages from the ‘Nuance Power PDF Advanced’ package. These languages are English, French and German:

 

MSIEXEC.EXE /i "[full path]\Nuance Power PDF Advanced.msi" NUUSERLANGTTS ="2"

 

This example deploys all the TTS languages from the ‘Nuance text to speech extension module’ package. (The table above specifies the available languages in the stand alone TTS module):

 

MSIEXEC.EXE /i "[full path]\ Nuance text to speech extension module.msi" NUUSERLANGTTS ="2"

 

 

 

Deploy all the command line defined TTS languages:

 

If the value of the NUUSERLANGTTS property is 3 then the installer deploys all the command line defined TTS languages. All the available languages and the command line switches are in the table above.

 

The following example deploys 3 TTS languages: English, French and German. The installation language is German.

 

MSIEXEC.EXE /i "[full path]\Nuance Power PDF Advanced.msi" NUUSERLANGTTS="3" NUENGTTS="1" NUFRETTS="1" NUGERTTS="1" TRANSFORMS="1031.mst"

 

The following example deploys 7 TTS languages: English, French, German, Chinese (Traditional), Spanish, Russian and Japanese. The installation language is German. English, French and German TTS languages are in the Power PDF installer, the other 4 languages are in the stand alone TTS installer:

 

MSIEXEC.EXE /i "[full path]\Nuance Power PDF Advanced.msi" NUUSERLANGTTS="3" NUENGTTS="1" NUFRETTS="1" NUGERTTS="1" TRANSFORMS="1031.mst"

 

MSIEXEC.EXE /i "[full path]\Nuance text to speech extension module.msi" NUUSERLANGTTS="3" NUCHTTTS="1" NUSPATTS="1" NURUSTTS="1" NUJPNTTS="1" TRANSFORMS="1031.mst"

3.2.2   Client Installation using Active Directory

 

3.2.2.1      Overview

 

Active Directory is a feature of Microsoft Windows servers. Group Policy (GPO), a component of Active Directory, includes a Software Installation snap-in that enables an administrator to create a network installation. The administrator can install software to Windows Vista or above clients. The administrator cannot use the snap-in to install to clients with older versions of the Windows operating system.

 

Active Directory supports three main installation scenarios: Publish to Users, Assign to Users and Assign to Computers.

 

  • Publish to Users will "advertise" the program in Add/Remove Programs in the user’s Control Panel. The program will not be installed until the user chooses to add it.

  • Assign to Users will also "advertise" the program, but it will be available from a Start Menu shortcut, a Desktop shortcut, and from Add/Remove programs in the user’s Control Panel. 

  • Assign to Computers will install the software on the computer during the next computer reboot.

    Power PDF Advanced supports the Assign to Computers scenario and will successfully install the software when the computer is rebooted. The installation takes place silently, and the software is installed for all users on the computer.

    Important: Power PDF Advanced does not support the Publish to Users or Assign to Users scenarios.

    Active Directory also supports ZAP files as a mechanism for installing programs that are not compatible with the Microsoft Windows Installer. Because Power PDF Advanced is Windows Installer compatible, ZAP files are not necessary.

 

3.2.2.2      Deployment example (Installation in existing organizational units)

 

Requirements:

 

  1. A deployment target computer that is a member of a domain, site, or organizational unit.
  2. MSI 3.1 installed on the target (client) computer.
  3. A working Active Directory environment.

 

  1. Installer ready for deployment on a shared network location including the previously created transform file. This  file must contain at least the serial number of the product. See more: Customization with Nuance Customization Kit. And the language-specific transform files in the case of a multi-language setup package. See more: Language specific transform files.

    Steps:

    1. Select Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Active Directory Users and Computers.

    2. Right-click the site, domain, or organizational unit that contains the deployment computer.

    3. Select Properties, click the Group Policy Tab, and then click New.

    4. Specify a descriptive name.

    5. Click Edit.

    6. In the Group Policy Window, right-click Computer Configuration/Software Settings/Software Installation.

    7. Click New, and then click Package.

    8. Select "Advanced Published or assigned".

    9. Click OK.

    10. Select the right .msi package of Power PDF Advanced (Nuance Power PDF Advanced.msi). Remember different .msi package files should be used on 32 and 64-bit systems.

    11. Select the 'Modifications' tab then click 'Add' when the Properties dialog box appears and select the transform files with the modifications. In the case of a multi-language setup package do not forget the relevant language transform file.

    12. Click OK.

      Active Directory is ready to install the product on client computers.

 

3.2.2.3      Uninstallation

 

  1. Select the package 'Power PDF Advanced’ from 'Software settings\Software installation'.

  2. Right-click it and select 'All tasks/Remove'.

  3. Choose 'Immediately uninstall the software from users and computers'.

    This will remove all integration entries.

    Note: In Windows Server 2012 Active Directory environment it might happen that removal of Nuance Power PDF Advanced from client machines fails; should this happen, use Startup or Shutdown scripts with the following command included:

    MsiExec.exe /x{PRODUCTCODE} /qb

    Steven,

    I noticed you've talk to our support team and was able to figure this out by installing 2 prerequisite programs, one of which was 32bit only. 

    Please let us know if you need anything else regarding this issue.

  • Was there a solution to building a package with this product?  I am in the same boat, I have the prerequisites installed but am getting a general Error: 1603 when trying to deploy the software.
