Hi jmm,

First welcome, we love newbies Reminder this is a feature request forum you can post your viewer questions in the end-user PDF-Viewer forum at the top of the board index.

Regarding you question:

Maybe you had firefox open during the installation and the plugin did not register properly, please try uninstalling and re-installing ensuring that firefox is closed during installation.

By the way please state what os you are using and what build of the Viewer Help->About if the above does not work.

Regards,
Chris

Hi jmm,


Click the start button and run, copy and paste this in: PDFXCview.exe /makeiassoc, click ok.

Weird how it didn't do it right on install though, See if that works.

[jmm]

sorry that doesnt work either - but it works fine in IE, therefore there must be something weird with my firefox...

[Chris - PDF-XChange]

What version of firefox are you using?
Are you logged in as an administrator account when you set, the display in browser setting?

Chris

[jmm]

3.0.12 (updated 5 min ago :-)
yes, am admin...

[Chris - PDF-XChange]

Do you have any other PDF readers installed? If so try disabling them in Firefox->Tools->addins->plugins

As well you can try copying the npPDFXCviewNPPlugin.dll from the C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF Viewer directory to the firefox plugins directory in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins

Restart and see.

acrobat plugin disabled - xchange viewer plugin on (always been)... still no luck...

[Chris - PDF-XChange]

Did you try copying the dll into the firefox plugin directory?

[jmm]

no need, it's already there...

[Chris - PDF-XChange]

I've pretty much exhausted my tricks, I'll have to go the dev team for their input.

Maybe try uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, export your book marks first if that important to you and then once it's reinstalled, go into the viewer an uncheck the view in browser, restart windows and go back into the viewer and re check it. That's my last ditch attempt to offer, but I'll bring the team in on this one if that doesn't work.

Regards,
Chris

[jmm]

no prob - thanks a lot for your time!

[Chris - PDF-XChange]

You bet, usually one of those things straightens it up.

We'll figure it out though, hang tight.

Curiosity which installer did you use .EXE or the MSI?

Chris

[jmm]

exe

[Chris - PDF-XChange]

Thanks jmm,

When the developers are back online next I've asked them for input on our discussion.

Chris

[jmm]

ok

[jmm]

just found the solution to this pb:
in firefox -> tools -> options -> applications -> adobe acrobat document -> there are 2 options: use pdf-xchange viewer 1) default or 2) in firefox -> choosing 2) solves the issue...
yesssss!

[Chris - PDF-XChange]

Excellent jmm,

Glad to hear it is solved.

I will add that option fix to my arsenal

Take Care,

Chris

Since April's Patch Tuesday, Microsoft has disabled the plugin on account of it being 'incompatible'. Even after applying today's KB2964358, it remains the same, 'incompatible.'Before Patch Tuesday, everything worked well. The plugin is accepted when I turn off extended security, but actually some Nitro plugin appears to be effective.
In 'Manage add-ins' (Invoegtoepassingen beheren), only PDFXChange 2012 is shown, only in 32-bit mode, with no sign of any Nitro plugin. I am running 8.1 64-bit desktop, with IE 11 64-bit.
Any ideas, please?

Best regards,
PS: In the PDF-XChange Editor preferences, there is no sign of a 'File Associations' category!

Hi Abdul,

There are some known issues with 307.2 (latest release) displaying in IE11. These should be resolved for the next build, which is due for release a little later this month.

With regards to the File Associations section of the Preferences please see the attached screen-shot, it should look similar to this:

If you're not seeing a File Associations section, then you are likely still using an older release and I would recommend and update via this link:

Cheers,

Many thanks for your prompt response.

I have downloaded and installed version 307.2 and the File Associations dialog does now indeed appear.

For the remainder, I shall be patient.

Best regards,

AbdulRahiem (sorry, but not just 'Abdul', please).
