[@Gene], the only reason to reboot is to have Soft-Xpansion Perfect PDF 9 Editor become the default previewer and opener for Windws File Manager and PDF files, both of which are totally unnecessary to the functioning of the program itself.
Soft-Xpansion has a trial of Perfect PDF 10 Premium with OCR at [ https :// soft-xpansion. com/products/perfect/trial/ ] which requires removing / uninstalling prior working Soft-Xpansion Perfect PDF software first ( see? remove a working version to try a trial – doh ! ).
Considering that the text export from Perfect PDF 9 Editor was tab-delimited between words and looked like a spreadsheet, I have zero hopes that their OCR will suddently be the uniquely functional part of their program.
But considering that I have no desire to keep Perfect PDF 9 Editor, then removing / uninstalling it will be a pleasure.

I recently found Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro and license in the wild, I’ll let you know when I refind it.
I also owe you all the script for implementing the 64-bit dll during installation of prior Adobe products, though I myself found it on the web, of course, and you all can, too – most of what I spend my time doing is refinding stuff that migrates around the wild.
It’s a preoccpation, I guess.
Thanks for exploring this and sharing.
