Also have no idea as how to run the script, is there a link with instructions?
I think your version will not allow scripts to be added to the ribbon UI. If you are using the classic UI though, it will add to the Window menu.
You could try pasting the following into the console, and it will add a tool button to the add-in tools:
Code: Select all
/** dialog with list of active docs
*
* @history<pre>
* v1.1 2025-01-23 fix selection of documents, move to Window menu, check that dialog isn't bigger than screen (app.monitors doesn't return anything)
* v1.0 2025-01-21
**/

To use the script get the most recent version of PDF XChange and:
1. Go to %APPDATA%\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor\3.0\ by pasting that into file explorer. It should take to you to the preferences folder for pdf xchange and the path will be something like C:\Users\[yourUserName]\AppData\Roaming\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor\3.0
2. If there's no Javascripts folder, make a folder and name it Javascripts.
3. Extract the zip file in the post above, and copy the file 'showActiveDocuments.js' into the Javascripts folder.
4. Restart pdf xchange.
