The files in this folder are used to install the NoteSmith PDF Converter for all versions of Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8, both 32 and 64 bit. These files were upgraded in 2014 from those distributed in older versions of NoteSmith.

NoteSmith installation media for 2014 and 2015 had this same NoteSmith PDF Converter 5. It was inside a folder named PDF81 because it was added for Windows 8.1 compatibility. The folder name was changed back to 5 to reflect appropriately the version of the converter.

XP users: Microsoft ceased releasing security updates for XP in 2014. It ceased technical support for XP years before that. You are running a security risk if you still use XP so you should consider using a later, more stable version of Windows. This PDF Converter 5 may not install on your XP computer.

Please follow the instructions below. You can leave this file open while you work.

1. Click Start, then Programs, find and open the NoteSmith folder, and find the current NoteSmith icon.

2. Right mouse click the icon, choose Run As Administrator from the pop up menu, and confirm with Windows. Do NOT log into Windows as an Administrator or Windows Users cannot access the PDF Converter.

3. Go to File, Setup, the PDF tab, and choose Install. Find and left mouse click the installation file from this PDF5 folder.

4. When the installation finishes, immediately exit NoteSmith.

5. Restart NoteSmith as usual and the NoteSmith PDF Converter 5 will be available.
