Hello

Post by taco »

I have installed https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product ... nge-viewer and I want to use it instead of adobe reader when I open pdfs inside my browsers, is that possible because now it still opens with the adobe reader.
The browser is Chrome and I am using Windows 7

Hello taco,

Welcome to our forums. Yes it's possible. Please open our stand alone Viewer and go to Edit -> Preferences -> File associations, and activate the "Display PDF in browser" checkbox.

Best,
Stefan

Thanks, that worked :). I should have checked the options before asking, I was looking at the Chrome options and they don't have something to change the program that opens pdfs.
Thanks again

Regarding Chrome browser - type about:plugins into the address bar and you can change the PDF viewer. Disable the Chrome and Adobe veiwers and enable PDFXchange viewer

thanks for the ksudavid,

indeed you are right. We have mentioned that on occasion on the forums but that's really neither here not there, it is most appreciated that you throw this in here as it keeps the thread continuity good.

cheers
Best regards
