The Nuance® PDF Create Assistant allows you to create PDF files from a set of source files coming from a variety of applications, including existing PDF files. Each file can be converted to a separate PDF, or a group of files can be combined, in listed order, into a single PDF. Files can also be overlaid or packaged.
You can start the PDF Create Assistant from the Microsoft® Windows® Start Menu with one of the following commands. Then use the interface to perform the file conversion.
Start > Programs > Nuance PDF Create! 6 > PDF Create! Assistant or
Start > All Programs > Nuance PDF Create! 6 > PDF Create! Assistant.
