PDFXV_dev.exe

[anovy]

Hi,
Where can I find a list and description of all command line options for PDFXV_dev.exe?

[Paul - PDF-XChange]

Hi anovy,

PDFXV_dev.exe supports:

/PDFV, /NODESKICON, /KEY, and /LANG as well as those InnoSetup installer uses http://unattended.sourceforge.net/InnoS ... Codes.html

What parameters are valid for the /LANG switch?

/LANG=language
Specifies the language to use. language specifies the internal name of the language as specified in a [Languages] section entry.

When a valid /LANG parameter is used, the Select Language dialog will be suppressed.

Hi again anovy

the parameters should be the same as for PDFXCview.exe:

/Lang=<lang_id> Sets a language lang_id as the default language for the User Interface.
Possible values for lang_id are:
en (English), nl (Dutch), uk (Ukrainian), fr (French), gr (German), it (Italian), sp (Spanish), ko (Korean), ch (Chinese), jp (Japanese), fi
(Finnish)

This may not be the complete list - please see the installation folder.
Check "C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF-XChange Viewer\pdf-
viewer\Languages" for the up to date list of supported language files.

Example (for German)
PDFXVwer.exe [other parameters] /LANG=gr [additional parameters]

Thanks for info. An additional question - are these langauge files redistributable? By other words, if I will not use PDFXV_dev.exe for viewer installation, may I enclose these .xml language files to my installation package (along with PDFXCview.exe, PDFXCviewAx.dll and Resource.dat)?

[Paul - PDF-XChange]

hi again anovy,

you can redistribute the language files. They need to go into a sub-folder "languages" in the folder where the viewer executable is located.

Hi again,
I noticed that PDFXV_dev.exe does not perform a version check. It simply overwrites the newer version with an older version without any prompt. Is there some command line switch which must be entered, so the version check will be performed?

[John - Tracker Supp]

I am afraid there is no version check - this is your responsibility as the developer/publisher to make the choice when creating your installer package ...

You should obviously only include a build in your product - or make available - that you decide is appropriate for your clients use and suits your needs.

Hi again,

PDFXV_dev.exe supports:

/PDFV, /NODESKICON, /KEY, and /LANG as well as those InnoSetup installer uses http://unattended.sourceforge.net/InnoS ... Codes.html

I'm unable to use the /DIR switch, it seems it does not work. I used /DIR="C:\Program Files\MyDir", but "C:\Program Files\Tracker Software" is always used. Could you please check this?

And for what is the /PDFV switch?

[John - Tracker Supp]

Hi,

Checking the /DIR switch - could you please supply the entire install string used so we can check the Syntax in full...

Also please advise the OS being used.

With regards /PDFV

This is not relevant in the SDK distribution installer as it is related to the installation of the PDF-XChange Viewer (end user version) - which is not inlcuded in this package.

[anovy]

Simply as I wrote, for example

PDFXV_dev.exe /DIR="C:\Program Files\MyDir"
or
PDFXV_dev.exe /SILENT /DIR="C:\Program Files\MyDir"
etc.

The DIR switch is ignored in all cases. The OS is WinXP with SP3.

BTW: I don't expect that the XChange program files will be placed just to "C:\Program Files\MyDir" directory, I know that they will be placed in "PDF Viewer" subdirectory under the target directory. But this is good for me, I only need to change the target directory, however the /DIR switch does not work.

[John - Tracker Supp]

Hi,

I can confirm that this is not working as it should - apologies - we will endeavour to urgently release a fix for this installer (only) - hopefuly on Monday next week.

Thanks for your patience.

[anovy]

Thank you.

BTW: I found that there is more switches which do not work, for example /MERGETASKS and /LOADINF. At this moment they are not important for me, but maybe you should check them too.

[John - Tracker Supp]

Hi,

We have updated the build available (though pls note the 'Clould' server we use at rackspace updates only every hour - so it could be a little while before this is 'live' - its 9.30am Saturday Pacific Standard time - whereever you are, pls wait wait hour and the new build should then be available to you.

I have reported the additional switches you mention - though I have not sure how pertinent they are to our products ...

Thanks again.

[anovy]

Thank you, it works, but only with the /SILENT switch (now it is enough for me). If the setup is run in standard mode, then the /DIR switch is still ignored.

[Paul - PDF-XChange]

thanks for the feedback anovy, we'll take another look at this.

[John - Tracker Supp]

Thats intended - these switches are designed to work only when /Silent or /VerySilent are employed.
