[Version 11.0.0] Windows Explorer "Edit with PDF-XChange Editor" context menu option not working

Post by rakunavi »

=== UPDATE ===================================================================
The issue reported below has been resolved in Ver 11.0.1.
I appreciate all the hard work and efforts of the support and development team.
==============================================================================


Hello all,

I would like to report an issue found in the recent update.

When PDF-XChange Editor is installed, it adds an "Edit with PDF-XChange Editor" option to the Windows Explorer context menu for various files, including image files. However, this feature seems to have stopped working since Version 11.0.0. Selecting the option no longer triggers any action.

Hoping that the above information will be of some help to you.
Thank you for your hard work on this great software.

Best regards,
rakunavi

Hoping for a quick fix. Version 11 has made me acutely aware of how often I use this!

I also noticed several issues with file type associations from Windows Explorer to PDF-XChange Editor v11. Maybe this is due to the fact that the PXE executable's file name seems to have changed?

Hello, David.P

Yes, that is on the list of item to be fixed in the meantime. For now, V11 has been taken down from the website. Please keep an eye out for the next release.
