Hi,
Problem: "No Alternate PDF Viewer Available"
Before updating my system and also PDF-XChange Viewer system was offering at least one alternate viewer (bottom right corner - "lightning" symbol.)
How/Where can I specify an external PDF viewer? Please explain the steps.
Thanks in advance!

Re: No Alternate PDF Viewer Available
Hi alpaco,
Thank you for the post.
The Viewer detects if you have an alternate PDF viewer automatically. You cannot add additional programs manually.
However, it relies on the alternate application making the correct registry entries in the necessary places. If it doesn't make these entries, then the Viewer isn't able to detect that it is installed.
Please note that the Viewer is discontinued, its successor - the PDF-XChange Editor has the ability to manually add as many alternate applications as you would like.
