Make properties permanent by tweaking Read and Write permissions

[BrooksNYC]

Hello, all. Hope this finds you well!

I'm running PDF-XChange Editor 11.1.1.0 on Windows 10 Pro.

Am trying to change the Properties for a Comment and Markup tool so that the Properties for that tool become the new permanent default.

In File Explorer, I'm going to.....

C:\Program Files\PDF-XChange\PDF Editor

....and right-clicking PXCEditor.exe > Properties.

From the Security tab of the first screen that pops opens, I'm clicking the Edit button with admin privileges (red arrow):



The Edit button opens a second screen showing Group or user names and Permissions for ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES:



Is it possible to change the necessary Read and Write permissions from this window?

If so (and at your convenience, no rush) can you tell me:

1. Which Group or user names I need to mess with?

2. Which Permissions I need to allow for EACH of the above Groups?

Am hoping I can do whatever needs doing within the confines of this little window. Spelunking through Windows Registry will only lead to chaos and suicidal ideation.

As always, grateful for your help. Thanks!

Hi BrooksNYC,

We have a feature specifically for setting the properties of any given comment as the default properties for all subsequent properties of the same type. Simply select the comment, then move to the Format tab, click the Style Tools dropdown menu and click Make Current Properties Default:
