Different preferences in internet explorer

Post by hlj »

I have a question about the preferences in pdf xchange viewer.
If I set the preferences and remove toolbars in pdfxchange (for example language to use regional settings, removed several toolbars) it works ok when I open a pdf file either from within pdf xchange or double klick a pdf file.
But when I klick a pdf file in IE it opens up with not the regional settings language and all toolbars are back.

Is there different settings when opening in IE or is it a bug?

Hello Jonas,

Yes you are correct,
The Browser plugins have separate settings. This is good if you want them to be different in the stand alone and in the browser.
But if you want them to be the same simply export your settings from the stand alone Viewer and import them in the browser plugin and they should all match.

Best,
Stefan

How exactly do you export/import the settings? I now it can be done in the gui but if i want this settings to be set during the installation?

Anyone has an idea about this.
Is it possible to set both the program preferences and the internet explorer preferences during install?

You can import the settings also via command line:

Code: Select all

PDFXCView.exe /importp c:\mysettings.dat
And for the web plugin:

Code: Select all

PDFXCView.exe /import:web=yes c:\mysettings.dat
So you can write a script to run this commands automatically after installing the viewer.
