Shortcut to switch between tabs

Post by akemble »

Hi,

I am working in PDF XChange viewer v2 and do alot of validation work between 2 pdf documents requiring repetative toggling between the 2. In adobe these would open in seperate windows and I could use the Windows shortcut alt-tab to toggle, however pdf xchange opens these with seperate tabs within the same window so Windows shortcut does not work and I have not been able to find a shortcut within xchange to perform the same task... Can you please advise if there is and what it is??

Thanks,
Adam

The shortcut is Control Tab, or Control Shift Tab.

You can also allow multiple instances of the viewer in Preferences, General, and use Alter Tab to switch between windows.

Right-click on a toolbar and open the customise dialogue to change shortcuts. On the command list, View commands, you can edit the shortcuts for Next Document, Previous Document.

There is a typo in the KB article
Right click an empty place on any tool bar and select 'Properties' to bring up the 'Customize' dialogue box.
Should be — select 'Customize' to bring up the 'Customize' dialogue box.
