You can display the Create Assistant panel from the Windows Start menu or from the jump list on the Power PDF icon in the taskbar. It lets you create one or more PDF files from a set of input files using settings stored in profiles.
Click the Add button to browse for files, or drag-and-drop files from Windows Explorer into the list area.
Click the Delete button to remove selected files from the list. This removes the file link from the list, it does not delete the file itself.
Click the Move Up and/or Move Down arrow buttons to re-arrange the file sequence or drag-and-drop the files. Files will be placed in the PDF in the listed order.
Click the Clear button to remove all the files from the list.
Click Supported File Types to show the list of files that can be the input for creating one or more PDF files. Certain file types (typically Microsoft Office ones and others) are only available if their native applications are also installed on the system.
Click Online Help to open the help system.
Select an item from the Assemble drop-down list box. (This is the box just under the list area.) The Options button is available for the second, third and fourth options.
For Combine files into one PDF document, the Combine Setting dialog box appears. Choose to have bookmarks generated or not. If chosen, the file name (without file extension) from each input document becomes a bookmark name.
For Overlay files as one PDF document, the Overlay Options dialog box appears. Select 'Repeat the last page of the shortest document for page overlay' to overlay the elements on all pages of a PDF. De-select this item to have the overlaid elements appear only on the first page.
For Package files into one PDF document, the Cover Sheet Options dialog box appears.
Select a profile from the Profile drop-down list box. (This is the second box under the list area.).
Click the Profiles button if you want to modify a predefined profile or create your own profile.
Click Saving to call up the Destination Settings dialog box to define where the results should be saved: into the source document folder, to a specified location, to a DMS or the results should be sent as E-mail attachment. In Power PDF Standard Save to DMS leads to Cloud Storage sites (providing they were selected by a Custom install). In Power PDF Advanced you can save also to Document Management Systems. SharePoint is always offered, other supported systems are available only if you have a DMS client installed on your computer.
The current destination settings are displayed beside the Saving button. The default target is Query the file name. This means the Save As dialog box appears after PDF creation.
Select Always on Top to make Create Assistant always appear on top of other windows.
Click the Create tool to start PDF creation.
