You may create PDF files from web pages in the following browsers, if the PDF application is already installed. Some browsers require additional modules to install.

  • Google Chrome: Install the Kofax PDF Create Chrome app in the Chrome Web Store (CWS).
  • Mozilla Firefox: The Kofax PDF Create add-on is installed by default during the setup of the PDF application.
  • Internet Explorer: The Kofax PDF Toolbar is installed by default during the setup of the PDF application.

To create pages from your browser, proceed with the following steps.

  • Click the arrow right to the PDF Create icon icon (Internet Explorer), or click the icon (other browsers) to open the menu.
  • Optionally, click Settings to make sure the current settings correspond to the attributes of the web page. If necessary, click Advanced Settings and make changes in the Kofax PDF Create Properties dialog box.
