Internet access on doument load

Post by PurpleOfPants »

Why is pdfXchange Editor Plus sending data over the Internet whenever I open a document? I can understand (but not enjoy) it doing so when starting the editor for license checking, but this is with the editor already open and already with a document loaded. Open another document and there is some data going out into the world?

What is it, why is it happening and, most importantly, how do I stop it?

Fixed this phone home issue. I turned off:

AI Assistant
Azure
Box.com
Dropbox
Google Drive
One Drive
Sharepoint
All search providers (not sure if this is necessary, but I don't do search from the editor anyway)

Now there is no traffic when a document is opened :)
