Introduction
Welcome to Nuance
®
PDF Reader 7! This product lets you view and work
with PDF files. Its key features let you:
• Zoom and rotate pages, use bookmarks to navigate in documents,
jump to defined pages, view all PDFs in the current folder.
• Add highlights, cross-outs and underlines to PDF text.
• Find texts in one or more PDF files – from file information or textual
content.
• Convert XPS files to PDF, print files and save PDF attachments.
• View and handle PDF packages and portfolios (grouped files).
• Fill in and save PDF forms for convenient submission – avoid the
hassle of photocopying and paper mailing.
• Verify digital signatures and sign your PDF documents.
• Enjoy support for leading Document Management Systems.
Why are PDF files popular?
The Portable Document Format has become a de-facto standard for
document exchange across platforms and computing environments. More
than 200 million PDF documents are posted on the World Wide Web. Key
benefits that have driven this popularity are:
• Integrity: PDF files look like the original documents they were
created from. They conserve their appearance after sharing –
regardless of platform, operating system, installed fonts or local
settings on each computer or device.
• File size: In many cases, PDF files can be more compact than their
source documents – ideal for file transfer.
• Security: PDF files can be digitally signed and password protected
to prevent unauthorized changes.
• Sharing: While the basic document content
can be frozen, commenting and mark-up
tools allow collective authoring and
document review.
The ability to create PDF files, to do advanced
commenting and to apply security are beyond
the scope of this PDF Reader. Such features
and many more are provided by Nuance PDF
Converter Professional 7.

PDF flavors
There are three basic types of PDF files. PDF Reader can open all three
types:
PDF Image: The PDF pages are presented as images so the content is
fixed and cannot be edited or searched. They can contain comments and
form controls, since these are not part of the real PDF content.
PDF Searchable: The PDF pages are presented as images, guaranteeing
content integrity, but the files contain a text layer behind the page
images so file content can be searched, but the real PDF page content
cannot be modified. They can contain comments and allow form filling.
PDF Normal: The PDF pages have editable and searchable content. This
editing of real PDF page content (such as with a Touch-Up or Typewriter
Tool) can be performed by PDF editors such as Nuance PDF Converter
Professional – in this case protection against unauthorized changes can
be achieved by security settings.

Viewing other parts of a page
Use the Hand tool to move around the page. Define its behavior on
mouse click in Edit / Preferences / General / Miscellaneous. By default the
action is nothing, but it can jump to the next page or start scrolling the
display downwards.
The Pages display in the Navigation panel can be used to move around
the page, as shown on page 5. A red box in the thumbnail shows which
part of the page is being displayed. Drag corners of this box to change
the part of the page that is visible in the Document Panel.
Reading Comments
Comments already existing in PDF files you open in PDF Reader can be
viewed and these are summarized in the Comments panel at the bottom
of the screen. Supported comment types are notes, text boxes, callouts,
text markups (highlight, cross-out etc.), drawing elements and file or
sound attachments.
Adding Comments
PDF Reader lets you add three types of comments, using the Comments
toolbar:
Highlight the text you next select.
Cross-out the text you next select.
Underline the text you next select.
These added comments also appear in the Comments panel, together
with the date and the name of the comment maker.
To add a comment, click the desired tool in the Comments toolbar or
menu, then use the comment cursor to select the words you want to
mark.
Finding texts in the current PDF
The Find tool in the File toolbar or Find in the Edit menu (Ctrl + F)
opens a dialog box where you can enter one or more words to be found in
the current PDF, starting from the current page and looping through the
document. Choose whether to match case or not, find whole words only
and to include or exclude bookmark and comment texts. Use the Previous
or Next buttons to determine the search direction. If you search multiple
words, the program finds only occurrences where those words appear one
after the other in the given order. A found string is highlighted.
The tools Find and Search are not available for Image PDF files.
Nuance PDF Reader 7 Reference Guide
11
Searching texts in multiple PDF files
The Search tool in the File toolbar or Search in the Edit menu (Shift +
Ctrl + F) opens a dialog box where you can enter a search string with the
options described above.
The search can be in the current document only, selected PDF files in the
current PDF portfolio (see later), all PDF files in the portfolio (including
those in sub-folders) or in a folder on your computer that you specify,
including or excluding its sub-folders. In all cases, only PDF files are
searched.
To do a portfolio search, the current document must be a portfolio or a
package. Packages can also be searched using the portfolio commands,
since they are a simplified form of portfolio and are displayed in the
portfolio viewer.
Search results are presented in the lower part of the search dialog box.
Each occurrence shows a line of text with the found string colored blue.
Click on a line to jump to the page containing the text. The number of
occurrences is shown bottom-right.
For a folder search, after entering a search string, you can click Advanced
to specify additional search criteria that help you find a specific file among
many. Under Key choose a PDF file information category (Subject,
Author, Creation date etc). Under Value enter a search string or a date
and under Operation choose whether the search string should be included
or excluded, or make date searching choices. Add criteria as desired;
searches will find only files that meet ALL the criteria you define.
A new interface allows you to search multiple words or strings more
efficiently. This type of search returns all occurrences of ANY of the words
or strings defined. Searching can also be done by supplied patterns: US
Social Security Numbers, US phone numbers with or without area codes,
credit card numbers or dates. Searches can be done by masks (user-
defined patterns), using the following symbols:
A = English alphabet letter only, upper or lower case (A-Z, a-z)
9 = Digit only (0-9)
O = Letter or digit
X = Letter, digit or punctuation (but not accented letters)
Hint: To search just a few PDF files, copy them to a temporary folder
and do a folder search or put them into a portfolio and search that.
Nuance PDF Reader 7 Reference Guide

Working with PDF files
Here is a selection of other actions you can perform:
View PDF properties: Choose Document Properties in the Document
menu (Ctrl + D) to see the properties of the current document under the
tabs Description, Security and Fonts. The first tab shows which keywords
and other descriptions are added to the PDF – these can help you find the
PDF later. If you cannot perform certain actions on the PDF (printing,
copying, form filling etc) the security settings may explain the reason. If
parts of the PDF have an unusual appearance this may be due to some or
all fonts not being embedded in the PDF file. The fonts listing tells you
which fonts are embedded and the coding convention used. That may
help you determine which fonts are present in the document but not
embedded. If you install those fonts on your system, the PDF should
display better.
View bookmarks: Choose Bookmarks under Navigation Panels in the
View menu or toolbar. If the PDF contains bookmarks, these are
displayed. These function like a table of contents in a book; typically each
section with a title has a bookmark. Click a bookmark to jump to the start
of the named section in the document. Choose Options / Collapse… to
reduce the number of bookmarks and Expand to see all the entries.
Print the PDF: Choose the Print tool
from the File toolbar or Print in
the File menu (Ctrl + P). Choose a printer, a page range and other
options. Under Print Content, choose to print the document with
comments (default) using the currently set display method, the document
only or form fields only (see below). To change the display method of
comments, choose Print with Comments from the File menu.
Open attachments: Choose Attachments under Navigation Panels in the
View menu or toolbar. Select an attachment in the list and click the Open
button at the top left of the panel. The application associated with the file
type starts and the file is displayed.
Save attachments: Choose Attachments as described above. Select one
or more attachments and click the Save button at the top left of the panel
and define a saving location. Files are saved with their original file type to
the chosen folder.
Play sound: A PDF file may have an attached or embedded sound file.
Double click its icon to hear the sound using your default media player
using all its current settings. Microsoft Silverlight content is supported.
Play movies: A PDF file may contain attached or embedded movie files.
Click the file icon or other control to play the movie. Use Edit /
Preferences / Movie to set which media player to use and which
accessibility options should be applied whenever available.

Filling PDF forms
Some PDF files include fillable forms, based on XFA or other form-
handling standards. If you receive such a form, and form filling is
permitted by the file’s security settings, you can fill the form in PDF
Reader and then return it via e-mail.
To fill the form choose the Hand tool then click in the fields one after the
other to enter text or make choices. You can also use the Tab or arrow
keys to move between controls. The range of form controls are as
follows:
Checkbox: Click on it to select it. Click again to deselect it. When
checkboxes are grouped, they can be selected or deselected
independently.
Radio button: Click on it to select it. Click again to deselect it.
Radio buttons are always grouped and only one button in the group can
be selected.
Text field: Click the field to select it, click again to set a text cursor,
enter a response.
Comb box: This is a special type of text field that defines character
spacing. Each character entered is placed in its own comb cell.
List box: Click the control to open a list and choose an item.
Combo box: Click the control to select it. Either choose a response
from those in the list or enter text.
Signature field: If you have a form with an unfilled signature field
you can add your own digital signature. Please consult the Help system of
your operating system on how to create a signature identity. You can also
verify the authenticity of a signature field that someone else signed (see
below).
Button:
A button control typically leads to an action being performed
when it is clicked – such as jumping to another page or submitting the
form to a stored URL. This may require JavaScript to have been enabled
at installation time.
The Form toolbar has two controls:
Highlight Fields: Puts a highlight on all form controls so they are easier
to find.
Reset Fields: Removes all data entered into the form so you can start
again.
Nuance PDF Reader 7 Reference Guide
14
Use Edit / Preferences / Forms to decide how forms will be displayed and
function. Choose to have field values automatically calculated whenever
the form contains numerical controls with calculations defined. Choose
whether the focused form control should have a border or not and choose
colors for the field highlighting – required fields can be given a different
color. An auto-complete function can be defined to speed up repeated
form filling.
Returning the filled form
To return a filled form, click its Submit button if it has one (this may
require JavaScript to be enabled). Or save the form and send it via
e-mail. Or print the whole filled form and send it by fax or post. Another
option is to print the empty electronic form before filling it, then fill it in
PDF Reader, place the empty form in your printer and print your
responses onto it by choosing ‘Form fields only’ in the Print Content list
box. If you receive the form as an active PDF and also on paper (maybe
in color), you can fill the electronic form, put the form in your printer and
print just your responses onto it as described above.
Verifying signatures
You may receive a document (not necessarily a form) containing a digital
signature. You can verify the signature if the sender also sent you a
security certificate file (extension .p7b, .p7c or .cer). Click inside the
signature to verify it. A dialog box tells you whether or not:
o the document has been modified since it was signed
o the signature can be verified as authentic.
Choose Trusted Identities in the Document menu to browse for certificate
files. Once added, they allow verification. The dialog box displays
certificate file information (name, issuer and expiry date) and lets you
remove or export the files.
Working with Portfolios
A portfolio is a set of files grouped into a single PDF file. It can contain all
file types and can have sub-folders. XPS files retain their file type when
placed in a portfolio. PDF Reader can open portfolios and display the PDF
files inside it. It can also display MS Office files inside the portfolio
window, providing the source program is available. After viewing a file,
click Home to return to the portfolio (the close button shuts the whole
portfolio).
The portfolio interface uses Flash technology, so you will need a recent
Flash media player on your system to gain the full benefit from it.
First the interface displays document thumbnails and subfolders (if any).
Double-click on a file to display it. Use the left and right arrows in the
Nuance PDF Reader 7 Reference Guide
15
portfolio bar at the top of the window to move to the next or previous
files.
Click
Home to return to the starting view with thumbnails.
Click List view to see a list of files and folders with related
information.
Both displays let you move to sub-folders and view the files there. The
current path is displayed under the portfolio bar, top-left. Use it to
navigate between folder levels.
Non-PDF files are displayed as icons; double click the icon and choose the
Open in Portfolio button to view the file, or choose Open Attachment to
display and optionally edit the file in the application associated with the
file type. Click the Save Attachment button to save non-PDF files to your
local file system, outside the portfolio. To save a PDF file, select it and
click the Save button in the portfolio bar and choose Save File from
Portfolio in the drop-down list.
Recent PDF editors can compile portfolios: Nuance PDF Converter
Professional 6 and 7 have that ability.
Working with Packages
A package is a set of files grouped into a single PDF file. It can contain
only PDF files and cannot have sub-folders. PDF Reader can open
packages and display the files in the Portfolio viewer. It shows document
thumbnails or a document list. Navigate and save files as described
above. Many PDF products can create packages, for instance Nuance PDF
Create.
Viewing layers
Some PDF files contain layers that separate elements on the page. These
are typically used by architects or designers and also when submitting
publications in PDF format to printing houses. PDF Reader 7 introduces
the ability to view single layers separately or any combination of layers.
Converting PDF to editable formats
The File toolbar includes a button Convert PDF that leads to a free
Nuance web-based conversion service
from PDF to editable formats.
Select a PDF file and click the button. A dialog box lets you choose a
target file type: RTF, DOCX, (Word on Vista), XLS (Excel) or WP
(WordPerfect). You must also supply an e-mail address and a password.
Nuance PDF Reader 7 Reference Guide
16
When the conversion is complete, you receive an e-mail notification with
a web address. Click it and provide the password to access and download
the converted file.
If you request a conversion and have PDF Converter Professional 7 on
your system, it is opened and the chosen PDF is loaded into it.
Use its Convert button
to convert the file locally, with a wider range
of targets and settings than in the web-based service.
Reading texts using Jaws
®
Jaws is a widespread screen-reader application used to read texts of
interface elements as well as document content. If Jaws is installed on
your computer, PDF Reader works in close cooperation with it.
With Jaws running, as soon as a PDF is opened its content will start to be
read out. The following keyboard actions are available:
• Left arrow: read previous word
• Right arrow: read next word
• Up arrow: read previous content element in tag tree
• Down arrow: read next content element in tag tree
• Ctrl+Up: read content of previous tag
• Ctrl+Down: read content of next tag
• Page Up: read first content element of previous page
• Page Down: read first content element of next page
• Home: read first content element of document
• End: read last content element of document
• Escape: cancel reading

The software and materials provided with this agreement are licensed,
not sold, and are available for use only under the terms of this license
agreement. Please read this agreement carefully. By downloading,
installing, copying, or otherwise using the software, you agree to be
bound by the terms and conditions of this agreement and become a party

This Nuance Communications, Inc. (“Nuance”) End User License
Agreement (“Agreement”) accompanies a Nuance software product in
machine-executable binary code and related explanatory written
materials (“Software”). The term “Software” shall also include any
modified versions or updates of the Software licensed to you (“Licensee”)
by Nuance, but does not include source code for the Nuance software
product. You may install and use a modified version, update, or upgrade
of the Software only if you have a validly licensed full version of the
Software being modified, updated, or upgraded. If you download, install,
copy, or otherwise use a modified version, update, or upgrade of the
Software, then this Agreement terminates as to the previous version of
the Software, and you have a license only to such modified version,
update, or upgrade of the Software under the terms of this Agreement.
This copy of the Software is licensed to you, Licensee, as the end user,
subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
LICENSE GRANT. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Nuance grants Licensee a non-exclusive and non-
transferable license only to: (a) install and use for personal or internal
business purposes one copy of the Software on a single computer;
(b) install and use for personal or internal business purposes one copy of
the Software on either a single portable computer or a single home
computer, provided that such copy is not used concurrently with the copy
in section (a) above; (c) make a single copy of the Software solely for
archival purposes; and (d) store or install a copy of the Software on a
storage device such as a network server, used only to install or run the
Software on your other computers over an internal network, provided that
you acquire and dedicate a separate license for each separate computer
on which the Software is installed, run or otherwise accessed from the
storage device. A single license for the Software does not allow you to
share the Software or use it concurrently on different computers or for
others other than the Licensee to access, install, download, copy or
otherwise use the functionality of the Software.
ACTIVATION. According to its discretion, Nuance may include features in
the Software to prevent unlicensed use of the Software. You agree that
Nuance may do so. In particular, use of the Software may require that
Licensee activate the Software through the Internet (this process may be
more fully described during the installation set up of the Software). During
such activation, Nuance may collect certain non-personal technical
information from your computer concerning your computer or network.
You agree that Nuance may do so. You may be required to reactivate the
Software if you modify your computer hardware or the Software.
NOTIFICATIONS. According to Nuance’s discretion, the Software may
contain a component that will automatically activate your Internet browser
and attempt to initiate a connection through the Internet to a website
maintained by Nuance that contains notification information related to the
Software. This connection may be made using the Internet connections
and telephone lines under your control. From time to time, you may
receive notices about the Software or other information through this
Internet connection. By installing the Software on your computer, you
hereby consent to have the Software initiate a connection through the
Internet to Nuance’s website, to use your resources to connect to such
website, and to receive notices about the Software and other information
through this Internet connection.
RESTRICTIONS. Except as otherwise expressly permitted in this
Agreement, Licensee may not: (a) reproduce or copy any of the Software;
(b) modify or create any derivative works of the Software, including
translation or localization; (c) decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer,
or otherwise attempt to derive the source code for the Software;
(d) redistribute, encumber, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise
transfer rights to the Software; (e) remove or alter any trademark, logo,
copyright or other proprietary notices, legends, symbols or labels in the
Software; (f) without Nuance’s prior written consent (which may be given
or withheld in Nuance’s sole discretion) either (a) provide service bureau
services using the Software, or (b) otherwise enter into an agreement
with a third party to use the Software on such third party’s behalf for the
primary purpose of obviating the third party’s need to license the
Software itself; (g) copy the printed materials accompanying the Software
(h) use the OCX component of the reader in non-browser applications or
(i) embed the Software into another application without Nuance’s prior
written consent. As between Licensee and Nuance, any changes to,
modifications to, or derivative works of the Software shall become the
exclusive property of Nuance.
TERMINATION. Without prejudice to any other rights, Nuance may
terminate this Agreement if Licensee breaches any of its terms and
conditions. Upon termination, Licensee shall destroy all copies of the
Software.
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. Title, ownership rights, and intellectual
property rights in the Software shall remain in Nuance and/or its suppliers
or licensors. Licensee acknowledges such ownership and intellectual
property rights and will not take any action to jeopardize, limit or interfere
in any manner with Nuance’s or its suppliers’ or licensors’ ownership of or
rights with respect to the Software. The Software is protected by
copyright and other intellectual property laws and by international
treaties.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. THE SOFTWARE (INCLUDING

PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
KIND, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE WARRANTIES THAT IT
IS FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE
QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE IS BORNE BY
LICENSEE. SHOULD THE SOFTWARE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY
RESPECT, LICENSEE AND NOT NUANCE OR ITS SUPPLIERS,
LICENSORS OR RESELLERS ASSUMES THE ENTIRE COST OF ANY
SERVICE AND REPAIR. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY
CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT. NO
USE OF THE SOFTWARE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT
UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO
NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR
LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY MAY LAST,
SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL NUANCE OR ITS
SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
