Kofax Power PDF Advanced – Network Installation Guide

Introduction

This document covers the main installation scenarios for the Kofax Power PDF Advanced and the

Kofax Power PDF Reader products in a network environment. The Administrative setup 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 the

installation setup.

The primary source of information about Kofax Power PDF system requirements and

dependencies on other products is the Technical Specifications document, which is available on

the Kofax Power PDF Product Documentation page. The document is updated regularly, and we

recommend that you review it carefully to ensure success with your Kofax Power PDF product.

Installation Prerequisites

The product requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 package to be installed on the client

computers.

This installer is located in the Prerequisite folder in the installation media or download

package.

 File name is ndp48-x86-x64-allos-enu.exe.

 Required on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows.

Note: If you perform the standard installation procedure via Setup.exe in the root folder of your

Kofax Power PDF Advanced – Network Installation Guide

Installation in Distributed Environments

In a distributed environment, system administrators can use a two-step procedure for software

deployment:

1. Customization

The Kofax Customization Kit is available from the Tools folder in your installation media

or download package (.\Tools\CustomKit\CustomizationKit.exe). The kit

presets certain installation options to configure client installation.

2. Client installation

Installs the product on the client workstation according to the options configured with the

Customization Kit.

The following sections describe how system administrators can customize and deploy the

product. Please note that the manual client installation can be replaced with mass deployment.

Customization Kit

The Customization Kit for Power PDF Advanced and Power PDF Reader gives System

Administrators the ability to customize the installation of Kofax Power PDF Advanced products

prior to deploying the applications across an organization.

System requirements: The Customization Kit requires that at least Microsoft Windows Installer

(MSI) 3.1 and Windows .NET Framework 4.8 are installed on the client computer.

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

Overview

The Kofax Customization Kit helps to create a personalized package of Kofax Power PDF

Advanced for organization-wide deployment.

Use this tool to define where to install Power PDF Advanced, predefine the serial number and

make it read-only, set feature installation states, set visibility of features on the Custom Setup

dialog box, configure default application settings, deploy custom files and import predefined

application settings.

When you finish the necessary modifications and publish a package with the Customization Kit,

the tool stores the modified settings in the following way:

 Personalization, General, Application Integration, Connectors, Document Processing,

Languages, Application Options, and Upgrade Behavior settings are stored in the

admin_customSettings.mst transform file. This transform file is located beside the .msi

package file.

 Additional Files and Import Application Settings are stored beside the .msi package file.

Client installation

Kofax 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-computer installation context (ALLUSERS=1).

Note: The suppression of the required reboot does not eliminate the need for a reboot. A required

reboot must still be performed before installing any hotfixes or using the product.

Kofax Power PDF Advanced – Network Installation Guide

Install Client using command line

1. Launch a console window on the client computer.

2. Install the application with the corresponding command.

 To install Power PDF Advanced, run the applicable commands:

 MsiExec.exe /i "

source_path

\Kofax Power PDF Advanced.msi"

INSTALLDIR="

install_path

" TRANSFORMS="

source_path

\1036.mst;

source_path

\admin_customSettings.mst"

 If you saved an .mst file with Generate Transform in the Transform ribbon, then

use one of the following commands:

 MsiExec.exe /i "

source_path

\Kofax Power PDF Advanced.msi"

INSTALLDIR="

install_path

" TRANSFORMS="source_path\1036.mst;

source_path

your_saved_transform

.mst"

 _setup.exe /l1036 /v"INSTALLDIR=\"

install_path

\""

 To install Power PDF Reader, run the following commands:

 MsiExec.exe /i "

source_path

\Kofax Power PDF Reader.msi"

INSTALLDIR="

install_path

" TRANSFORMS="

source_path

\1036.mst;

source_path

\admin_customSettings.mst"

 If you saved an .mst file with Generate Transform in the Transform ribbon, then use

one of the following commands:

 MsiExec.exe /i "

source_path

\Kofax Power PDF Reader.msi"

INSTALLDIR="

install_path

" TRANSFORMS="

source_path

\1036.mst;

source_path

\your_saved_transform.mst"

 _setup.exe /l1036 /v"INSTALLDIR=\"

install_path

\""

Note: It is recommended that you use setup.exe or _setup.exe, because they elevate the

installation process. If you use Msiexec.exe, ensure that you open the Console Window with

administrative rights.

This installs the product to the folder specified under install_path. If you omit the INSTALLDIR

parameter, the product is 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 Table 1

Transform file names by language on page 5 for details.

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).

The following example shows how to install Power PDF Advanced with different options. To

install the product with a basic user interface and without message box on completion, use the

applicable command line:

 MsiExec.exe /i "

source_path

\Kofax Power PDF Advanced.msi"

INSTALLDIR=\"

install_path

\" /qb

 _setup.exe /s /v" INSTALLDIR=\"

install_path

\" /qb"

Kofax Power PDF Advanced – Network Installation Guide

Where q defines what type of user interface the installation uses:

 /qn specifies that user interface is not displayed

 /qb specifies a basic interface with a progress bar

and (if used) the plus sign (/qb+ or /qn+) specifies that a message box is displayed when the

installation is finished.

To install Power PDF Reader with the same options as above, use one of the following

commands:

 MsiExec.exe /i "

source_path

\Kofax Power PDF Reader.msi"

INSTALLDIR=\"

install_path

\" /qb

 _setup.exe /s /v" INSTALLDIR=\"

install_path

\" /qb"

During the installation of the application, specific installation options are available. Several

InstallShield Wizard pages walk 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 Kit and/or

command line switches.

Note: You are also allowed to use standard MSI parameters to specify commonly used

installation parameters like USERNAME, COMPANYNAME, INSTALLDIR, ISX_SERIALNUM,

etc.

Command line switches and features

The features and command line switches are grouped and detailed in the following topics.

Personalization switches and options

How to install help

The online help is available on the Kofax server by default. This is indicated by the following

entry:

HELP_MODE="1"

The online help can also be provided by a local server alternatively. Perform the following steps

to customize the help server location:

Kofax Power PDF Advanced – Network Installation Guide

1. Set the HELP_MODE entry to 2, indicating that custom help location must be used:

HELP_MODE="2"

2. Set the HELP_PATH_SHARED entry to refer to the correct Help root path on your server.

Substitute the items enclosed in angle brackets with your server parameters:

HELP_PATH_SHARED= \\<computername>\<sharedfolder>\

The root folder (HELP_PATH_SHARED) has subfolders for each of the languages, for example:

 \\<computername>\<sharedfolder>\en_us

 \\<computername>\<sharedfolder>\ja_jp

This path should lead to the root folder of the help structure, and not to any of the language

subfolders.

Note: If HELP_MODE is 2, entering a correct value for HELP_PATH_SHARED property is

mandatory.

Windows Desktop Search integration

Use the ’SSWDSSUPPORT’ switch to turn on/off the Kofax PDF iFilter that enables the Windows

Desktop Search (WDS) integration.

On: SSWDSSUPPORT="1"

Off: SSWDSSUPPORT=""

If WDS integration is turned on, the Kofax Power PDF built-in OCR (Optical Character

Recognition) engine is used to find text on pages that contain only images. Using OCR makes

indexing slower.

On: WDS_OCRNOTEXT="1"

Off: WDS_OCRNOTEXT="1"

If the OCR is enabled, the e-Discovery functionality is used to discover additional text on image

objects using OCR on pages that already contain text. Using e-Discovery makes indexing slower.

On: WDS_OCRNOTEXT_EDISC="1"

Off: WDS_OCRNOTEXT_EDISC="1"

If the OCR is enabled, you can define the first n pages which the OCR recognizes. To define this

option, set the WDS_OCRNOTEXT_ISPAGES to "1", and set the

WDS_OCRNOTEXT_NUMPAGES="number of pages".

For example:

Kofax Power PDF Advanced – Network Installation Guide

WDS_OCRNOTEXT="1"

WDS_OCRNOTEXT_ISPAGES="1"

WDS_OCRNOTEXT_NUMPAGES="10"

The application runs OCR on the first 10 pages.

Note: Windows Desktop Search Integration features are disabled by default.

Note: In Enterprise Connect Framework 16.2 version and earlier, it is possible to enable opening

Save As dialogs directly, without the use of the EC connector. To enable direct open and save,

append your PDF application executable file name to Enterprise Connect’s registry value,

separated by a comma.

In case of Power PDF Advanced, edit the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Open Text\Enterprise Connect\

ExtendedIntegrationSupportedApplications=[ExistingValue,]PowerPDF.exe

In case of Power PDF Reader, edit the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Open Text\Enterprise Connect\

ExtendedIntegrationSupportedApplications=[ExistingValue,]PowerPDFRd.exe

Important:

 With EC Framework 16.2 version and later, this registry value change is not needed.

 Saving documents opened directly through the File > Open dialog to the EC connector is

handled as a new document upload, not as a new version save. This is intentional, to

avoid issues with the synchronization process of EC.

You cannot use this variable in conjunction with S2DSERVER or S2DSUBDIR.

Use the S2DSERVER property with ShareScan in “home directory” mode. The value must be a

valid server address that contains the home directory information for the ShareScan users. If you

use home directories, entering a value for S2DDSERVER is mandatory, but entering a value for

S2DSUBDIR is optional.

S2DSERVER="\\Server name"

The S2DSUBDIR property must match the value for ShareScan “home directory” mode. This is

an optional value.

S2DSUBDIR="\\folder name"

Important: Command line installation parameters always overwrite .mst file settings.

Client Installation using Active Directory

Overview

Active Directory is a feature of Microsoft Windows servers. Group Policy (GPO), a component of

Kofax Power PDF Advanced – Network Installation Guide

Active Directory, includes a Software Installation snap-in that enables an administrator to create a

network installation. The administrator can install software to Windows 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.

o Publish to Users adds the product to the list of installed programs that the user can access

from the Control Panel. The program is not installed until the user selects to add it.

o Assign to Users adds a program shortcut to the user's Start menu and Desktop, and to the

list of installed programs that the user can access from the Control Panel.

o Assign to Computers installs the software on the computer during the next computer

reboot.

Power PDF Advanced supports the Assign to Computers scenario and installs 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.

Deployment example (Installation in existing organizational units)

Requirements:

 A deployment target computer that is a member of a domain, site, or organizational unit.

 MSI 3.1 installed on the target (client) computer.

 A working Active Directory environment.

 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 Customization Kit. About the language-specific transform files in the case of a multi-

language setup package, see Table 1 Transform file names by language.

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. Remember, different .msi package files must be used on 32-

and 64-bit systems.

 Use Kofax Power PDF Advanced.msi for Power PDF Advanced.

 Use Kofax Power PDF Reader.msi for Power PDF Reader.

11. Select the Modifications tab, 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
