GPO

Post by weite »

Is it possible to manage the PDF Viewer settings about the "Group Policy" or something else?
I must add a command and don't want to go to 50 PCs.

But in this case, I will overwrite all user settings.

Hello weite,

Yes that will indeed overwrite all existing user settings, but I thought you need this for an initial deployment.
If you let us know which is the setting you want to change for all 50 Users - I will let you know where in the registry it's stored - so all you will need to do is then update only that registry entry for all 50 users and any other settings they've modified will be preserved.

Best,
Stefan

Sounds good. I need the "Rotate Selected Pages 180" in one of the toolbars.

I've looked in the registry but can't find the settings. Where is the path?

Hello Weite,

Please check the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tracker Software\PDFViewer\View\Bars
entry.

I am afraid though that you might need to reset all toolbars for all users - as editting just a single toolbar is possible but there is no guarantee that the structure would be the same for all users, so you might end up adding the button to different toolbars for different users.

Best,
Stefan
