How to use PDF-XChange in PDM software preview window?

[jenskl]

Hello,

I would like to use PDF-XChange Viewer Pro in the
PDM software preview window in our company.

I can change the preview software in the windows
registry.

The standard content of the registry variable is:

Code: Select all

HtmlPlugin.dll@AcroPDF.PDF
HtmlPlugin.dll@PDF.PdfCtrl.6
HtmlPlugin.dll@FoxitReader.Document

Can you tell me what I have to enter in this variable
if I want to use PDF-XChange viewer?

Thank you!

Hi,

I never have used such a method, so, please check one of the following values

Code: Select all

HtmlPlugin.dll@PDF-XChangeViewer.1
HtmlPlugin.dll@PDFXCviewAx.CoPDFXCview
HtmlPlugin.dll@PDFXCviewIEPlugin.CoPDFXCviewIEPlugin

I'm back from my vacation!

Sorry, none of the values worked.

I'll send you the dll. Maybe it gives you more information.

Please let me know which entries into the registry I need to add/modify

[jenskl]

Registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SolidWorks\Applications\PDMWorks Enterprise\FileFormats\.pdf

The value name that has to be modified is "4".

I hope your answer won't take as long as mine.

Hi Chris,

are there any news on this topic?

I 'd really like to use PDF-XChange viewer
instead of Adobe Reader.

I'm afraid I will need to have this application here for testing.

From this page http://www.solidworks.com/sw/support/downloads.htm I can download only SolidWorks Explorer and SolidWorks Viewer.
Will it be enough for me for testing ?
