How to Remove Scansoft Addins

Unregister and Delete Addins
1. Click on 'Start' and then click on 'Run.' Windows Vista and 7 do not have a 'Run' icon, so you will need to click on the 'Start Search' field.
2. Type 'CMD' into 'Search' or 'Run,' and press the 'Enter' key. This will open a 'Command Prompt' window.
3. Type 'C:\Program Files\ScanSoft' into the command line window. Hit 'Enter.'
4. Type in your ScanSoft PDF version, such as 'PDF Converter Professional 6.' Hit 'Enter' to navigate to that folder. You can type in ''C:\Program Files\ScanSoft\PDF Converter Professional 6' as one command if you are familiar with your software.
5. Type in the 'regsvr32 /u PDFCWordaddin.dll' command and hit 'Enter' (without quotes). This will unregister the first Scansoft addin file.
6. Type in 'PDF Driver\OfficeAddin' and hit 'Enter.'
7. Type in the 'regsvr32 /u ZnWordaddin.dll' command and hit 'Enter.'
8. Close out 'Command Prompt' by typing in 'Exit' and hitting 'Enter.'
