PDFXV in Firefox

[Rekusu]

Hi there,

I have used PDFXV for many years and the last version, when I clicked on a pdf link in Firefox, opened in the program.

I recently upgraded to the latest version and any web pdf link, now opens in Firefox. I don't have the PDFXV add-on installed and in PDFXV / Properties / File Associations, although I have PDFXV set as the default viewer, 'Display PDF in Browers' is off.

How do I make a web pdf link open in the programand not FF?

Thanks,

Rex

Hello Rex,

Please take a look at these KB articles:
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgebase/266
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgebase/320

While they show you how to do the opposite of what you want to achieve - it also points where these settigns are, and you should be able to reverse those and make FireFox open the files directly with our stand alone installed Viewer.

Best,
Stefan

Many thanks for your reply. The KB's 'kind of' helped as I already have what I thought to be everything correctly checked.

But I have found the problem and resolved it. Under FF/Tools/Options/File Types, there were multiple entries for opening pdf files. Although the action was to open with PDF-XCV, one of the entries was classed as a 'Firefox Document' to be opened in PDF-XCV. Don't know what a Firefox document is, so I deleted the entry and now pdf files open in the PDF-XCV as I want.
