Right-click combine PDF function

Post by Jenn9 »

I previously had the option of right-clicking multiple PDFs in windows explorer and selecting something along the lines of “combine into single PDF”. This function has disappeared. Could someone please advise how to re-enable this useful feature? Thanks

Hello Jenn9,

Welcome to our forums.
This option is still there, but is slightly modified now:

Hi Stefan

Thanks for the response. I don't see that option, or even the "open in PDF-XChange Editor" option. I have version 9.2.359.0 installed and PDF-XChange Editor is set as the default application for pdfs.

Hello, Jenn9

If you have not restarted your PC since installing, that may be necessary, please do so now.

Outside of that, the right-click context menu is part of the windows shell extensions we offer, so you may need to follow the steps here to manually register them:

(note that for this specific item, using the "setup utility" will not work, We will be adding an option for this to the utility in the near future.)
