Configuring the Power PDF printer for use with Workshare Compare
When using Kofax (Nuance) Power PDF, you should configure your preferences as described below to prevent compatibility issues with Workshare Compare
When printing the redline from Compare and selecting Kofax (Nuance) Power PDF Printer as the printer then the printer should be configured correctly for the best user experience and to avoid any issues.
When printing, Compare prompts the user for a file name and folder location for the saved PDF. This information is send to the printer. For Power PDF to accept these parameter, the 'Destination Naming Method' must be set to 'Send to Power PDF' otherwise the printer will discard the information and instead prompt the user for a name and location.
Thus if the below configuration is not performed, the user will get prompted twice to select a save location - the first time by Workshare Compare and the second time by Power PDF. This second prompt may be hidden behind other application windows and if the user is not aware of the second prompt dialog and clicks back on the Compare application, it might crash.
To configure the Power PDF printer:
- Browse to Control Panel > Devices and Printers > Nuance PDF > Printing Preferences.
- Click Nuance PDF Printing Preferences and select the PDF Settings tab.
- In the Naming Method field, select Send To Power PDF.
- Click OK.
