PDF preview handler change default page layout and zoom

Post by fagath »

Hi
I have been trying to change the default page layout and zoom for the pdf preview pane.
I chose facing and fit page in pdf x-change prefs but each time I preview a pdf in windows explorer the display is one page-fit width.
Two questions:
1 Is there any way to change the default settings?
2 How can I choose which pdf preview handler is the default for my system?

(win 7 64 bit ultimate)
thanks

Hi fagath

welcome to the Tracker forums and thanks for the post. :-)
1 Is there any way to change the default settings?
Not yet. It's on the wish list however and may eventuate. That's not a promise to deliver but more of a way of letting you know we are looking into it.
2 How can I choose which pdf preview handler is the default for my system?
This is typically set by the installer. We don't have a simple way to switch between ours and another preview handler. The preview is handled by our "Shell Extensions" which are set up during install. If there is an alternative you wish to use you would run that product's installer. To return it to ours you would run the Viewer installer.. Be sure to keep the "Shell Extensions" option checked (it is by default).
