The following are the minimum system requirements to install and run the ScanSoft
PDF Converter Professional 3.0:
 A computer with at least an Intel
 Microsoft Windows
(SP4), or Windows XP (SP1, SP2)

to 12 for wpd files, Microsoft Excel for xls files)
 128 MB of memory (RAM), 256 MB recommended
 140 MB of free hard disk space for application files plus 5 MB working space
during installation
 5 MB for Microsoft Installer (MSI) if not present. (This is present as part of the
operating system in Windows Me, Windows 2000 and Windows XP)
 SVGA monitor with 256 colors, but preferably 16-bit color (called High Color in

To create a PDF file, you must have a print-enabled application on your system that
can handle the source file and that is associated with it.
Conversions (unlocking PDF files) can be performed whether or not the target
applications are installed on your system. However, to use the results, you need the
applications associated to the target file types you want to use (for example
Microsoft Word 97, Microsoft Word 2000, Microsoft Word XP or Microsoft Word 2003
(SP1) for .doc files, the same versions of Microsoft Excel for .xls files and Corel
WordPerfect 9 through 12 for .wpd files).
Note: Performance and speed will be enhanced if your computer's processor,
memory, and available disk space exceed minimum requirements. This is especially
true when converting very large color PDF files.
