copying custom stamp palette to all users

Post by ketter »

I am running PDF XChange Viewer Pro 2.0 Build 42.2. I have a custom stamp palette that I would like to copy to all my users so they don't have to set it up themselves. I found the stamps stored in a PDF file in \Application Data\Tracker Software\PDF-Xchange Viewer\2.0\Stamps. Do I need to copy that file to all users? Are there any registry settings or a config file that need to be copied?

Thanks!

I had a similar situation - I found that all I needed to do was to copy the file containing the custom stamps into that folder for each user.

Just a note:
Remember to always create them by importing them into the viewer custom stamps palette first and not to change the filename as other important information is contained in the name.

As well there are many properties in the stamp files that aren't contained in just creating pdf images.

Locations vary by o/s as well.

XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Tracker Software\PDF-XChange Viewer\2.0\Stamps\

Vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Tracker Software\PDF-XChange Viewer\2.0\Stamps\

Cheers,
Chris

There is one more location, which should be available for all users:
<Viewer installation folder>\Stamps\

For example if Viewer is located at:
c:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF-XChange Viewer\

The folder for the stamps should be:
c:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF-XChange Viewer\Stamps\

But please note that any user will be able to edit this stamp palette unless you set the Read-Only attribute of the file.
