Getting Started
|
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 will display 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; Document View; and Flick view. You can change between these via the 'View' menu, via 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.
Document 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-clicking the selected page with bring 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.
gDoc Fusion has a 'Quick Convert' feature on the ‘Welcome’ page. Word, Excel®, PowerPoint®, PS, PDF and XPS files can be dropped directly here. gDoc Creator will open and convert to either PDF, XPS or Word(doc.), depending on the settings in gDoc Creator. The file (by default) will be written to the source document location, and gDoc Fusion will open to display the document. Conversion from and to the same format (within gDoc Creator) is not recommended. You may save out of gDoc Fusion in any supported format.
gDoc Creator
To create a PDF or XPS file from any application, print as normal but select either the gDoc PDF Creator printer or gDoc XPS Creator printers. When you are prompted, select a location and name for the document, and it will get converted to the selected format. By default, it will be automatically opened to view in gDoc Fusion.
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, and hyperlinks, bookmarks, etc. will be automatically added to the PDF.
Settings: Locate and start the gDoc Creator application in the Start menu. This is where you can adjust the settings, such as the default conversion path for gDoc Fusion’s ‘Quick Convert’ feature. In addition, you can add your own setups here, which could include security options and many other features. You can set the preferences (CTRL+K) for the product here also.
This is a brief outline of the product. A more detailed description can be found in the User Guide, as well as information about features not covered here. The User Guide can be accessed via the Help menu (or F1) in gDoc Fusion.

Yes to all the above? Great. Let’s move on.
Please make sure all applications are shut down. Especially make sure your Web Browser, and all Microsoft® Office programs are shut down.
If you’ve installed gDoc Fusion on this system before, you’ll be asked if the installer should remove the previous version. Say yes, and then click Next.
You may see the message 'Installing Microsoft® Visual C++ redistributable package...'. This part of the installation can take a while, so please be patient and wait until it completes.
You’ll next be presented with the End User License agreement and if you agree to it select Yes. If you do not, select No to cancel the install, but why would you want to do that?
When prompted, enter your details in the Customer Information. Be especially careful to enter the correct license key. It's best to use copy and paste for accuracy. If you do not have a license key you will be able to use the product in evaluation mode only. Later, after you’ve purchased gDoc, you can enter the key.
If you want to use the default location for the application click Next > in the Choose Destination Location screen. If you want to change the default location for the application select Browse and navigate or enter a new location in the Choose Folder dialog. Generally, it's best to stay with the default.
As above, it's generally best to use the default program folder "gDoc". To do so click Next >. You can change the Program Folder by selecting an alternative from the list of existing folders followed by clicking Next >.
In the Installation options screen you can choose, for gDoc Fusion, to place a shortcut
to the application on the desktop. You can also have gDoc fusion launch whenever you double click on a .pdf or .xps file by choosing to associate .pdf and .xps file extensions with gDoc Fusion. You can also integrate PDF and XPS viewing capability with Microsoft® Internet Explorer.
If you choose to associate PDF and XPS files extensions with gDoc Fusion, all PDF and XPS files will have gDoc Fusion icons.
In the Start Copying Files window select Next > to start the installation.
When the Installation Wizard Complete screen appears click Finish to complete the installation. Your gDoc is installed and ready for use. Your patience has been rewarded.
