After installing, you will find a 'Global Graphics' entry in the Start menu, under which there are links to gDoc™ Fusion and gDoc Creator™.

gDoc™ Fusion

Open gDoc Fusion. To open a PDF file, for example, drag it onto the 'Page View' icon on the Fusion desktop application. gDoc Fusion displays your document in a new tab. Other documents can be opened in the same way, either in the 'Welcome' page of Fusion, or directly onto the document you have already opened. The format of documents you can open are PDF, XPS or one of the following Microsoft® Office application documents; Word; Excel®; PowerPoint®.

There are three ways to view the document; Page View; Assembly View; and Flick view. You can change between these via the 'View' menu, using the icons in the top left corner or your document, or by using the shortcut keys F3, F4 or F5.

Page View allows you to add, remove or edit bookmarks add comments/annotations; search for text items and edit them. In addition to this, you can mark page areas or text for redaction to censor, obliterate or hide the contents.

Assembly View shows all open documents and allows selection of individual pages for editing. In addition, pages can be rotated, extracted, deleted, etc. An important feature of this view is that pages can be copied from one document to another, regardless of the original format. This is done by clicking and dragging with the mouse.

Flick View is a 3D representation of a selected document. Using the mouse to click and drag to the left or right, you can 'flick' through the document to locate a page for editing. Double-click the selected page to display a large view of the page before going it to the front for confirmation before going to the Page view (press F3) for editing.

The final assembled/marked-up document can then be saved in PDF or XPS format, or exported to Word (.doc) format.

Settings: gDoc Fusion preferences can be accessed under View > Preferences (or CTRL+K)

gDoc Creator

gDoc Creator is a utility installed with gDoc Fusion that allows creation of a PDF or XPS file from any application by printing to a "gDoc Creator" printer. When you are prompted, select a location and name for the document, and whether a PDF or XPS file is required. The conversion is created in the requied format and, by default, is automatically opened to view in gDoc Fusion. In addition, PostScript files, XPS, and files of many other formats, can be dropped diectly onto gDoc Creator and converted to PDF/XPS.

Add-Ins: In addition to this method of printing, you will find toolbars in your Word®, Excel® or PowerPoint® applications, which will do the same but, in the case of a PDF conversion, hyperlinks, bookmarks, etc. are automatically added to the PDF.

Settings: Locate and start the gDoc Creator application in the Start menu. This is where you can set the preferences (CTRL+K) for the product, including your own setups, which could include security options and other parameters to be used in the conversion.
