Disabling display in browser

Post by chillrobot »

(I'm using Viewer until Editor can restore sessions.)

In Viewer v2.5 Pro, although I have the following turned off,

Edit | Preferences | File Associations | Display in browser

I still see pdf's in Chrome v34 instead of Viewer when I click them on a webpage. Does this preference actually mean only "When clicking urls in a pdf in Viewer that download a pdf, display the download in the default browser, not Viewer"?

Hello chillrobot

In Chrome open a new tab and in it copy paste the following:

Code: Select all

chrome://plugins/
You should then disable all PDF related plug-ins (including the Built in Chrome one and any other third party plug-ins you might have installed for handling PDF files), and then when you click a PDF link, Chrome should ask you where you want to save that file and you can then open it with the stand alone Viewer/Editor.

Regards,
Stefan

That works well, thanks!

Btw, as mentioned, I'm looking forward to restore of last session in Editor. Its feature list says "Store/Restore of last opened files (last session)",
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product ... nge-editor
Is that current or projected for a future release? Is there a newsletter that would keep me up on such developments?

Hello chillrobot,

This feature should be available in build 308 of the Editor before the end of next week.

Best,
Stefan
