Configuring PDF-XChange Lite default output folder

Post by thcl »

How can I configure PDF-XChange Editor so that when printing a Word document, for example, using PDF-XChange Lite, the output folder defaults to the folder containing the source document?

Hi, thcl

we would love to be able to offer such an option, unfortunately the Windows printing subsystem does not include the path. All we can use is the data applications send to a printer, and since the printing applications do not send a source file path there is nothing we can do here.
Best regards
