Disable Pro Features in Free PDF-XChange Viewer

Post by desktop-eng »

I am evaluating PDF-XChange Viewer as a possible replacement for Acrobat Reader. So far, PDF-XChange is leading in my evaluation. However, I noticed that there are locked Pro features that create watermarks if used - whether intenionally or without knowing what that feature was about. I can't have that in an Enterprise environment.

My question is, can I disable those features or hide them? Or better yet, is there a business version that doesn't have them?

Your answer will determine whether or not we choose your products to replace our Adobe Acrobat products.

Never mind. I found it in preferences, but can I disable that functionality so users can't change it?

Along the same lines, can the "Download PDF Creation Tools" button be disabled/not installed?

Bottom line is that I need a stable Enterprise version that doesn't automatically update, doesn't have links to "check for updates", doesn't have ads, doesn't have links to download more tools, doesn't "phone home" with user activity, etc.

Found more settings in preferences to disable other features, but there is a "reset all settings to default" menu selection. Can't have that.

And I really liked this PDF viewer, too.
