Installation and activation
Both PDF Viewer and Advanced PDF are installed during initial installation of WorkZone. No further installation is required. PDF Viewer and the free version of Advanced PDF are also enabled by default in WorkZone Configurator and are available in the Preview pane of WorkZone Client.
The PDF Viewer pane is by default displayed to users in the Preview pane but Advanced PDF is not. If Advanced PDF is to be used to read or edit PDF documents, the Preview pane must be edited to also display the Advanced PDF pane to users.
If the licensed versions of Advanced PDF is purchased , you must first enable the licensed version in WorkZone Configurator, enabling the relevant feature settings (Annotations, Redaction and/or Advanced Editing) and then adjust the WorkZone Client configurations for users who are to employ Advanced PDF by changing the settings of the Preview pane to display the Advanced PDF pane.
