I downloaded the zip file for the Viewer. There are two item: pdfx_SE.exe and PDFXVwer.exe.
I am wondering which to use. What is the difference between the two items?
Thanks

pdfx_SE.exe is a shell extension for Windows Explorer. As far as I know it has two functions:
  1. It shows thumbnails of PDF files in Explorer
  2. It lets Vista search within PDF files
I don't use it as I find it can be slow to preview a lot of large PDF files as thumbnails in a folder.

The one you want for the viewer is the other one.

The Shell extensions should perform much better now than possibly when you last tried Bhikkhu - but we would like to here from any party that finds this is not the case.

Also the latest downloads now incorporate the shell extensions in the main installer as an optional component - rather than a seperate installler.

HTH
If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.
