About the Document View
You can open PDF documents from the
Document partition of the
Viewables pane. You can perform these operations on documents:
• View documents with or without watermarks
• Search for text
• Print
If you have Adobe Acrobat installed, you can create and modify markups on a PDF, whether it is reader-enabled or not. If you have Adobe Reader installed, you can create and modify markups on a PDF only if it is reader-enabled.
Verifying Adobe Versions
If you attempt to open a PDF document, but it does not open, perform the following steps:
1. Ensure that a supported version of Adobe Acrobat or Reader is installed. If both Adobe Acrobat and Reader are installed, ensure that both are supported versions. Look for the latest “Creo View Clients and Toolkit Software Matrices” at
Reference Documents for detailed version information.
2. If a supported version is already installed, check that the Windows Registry software InstallPath values for Adobe Acrobat or Reader, located under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key, point to valid installation directories.
3. If the Windows Registry is correct, uninstall and reinstall Adobe Acrobat or Reader, (or both, if both are installed), and then uninstall and reinstall Creo View.
| This verification procedure also appears in the “Overview” chapter in the Creo View Installation and Configuration Guide. |
