When right-clicking on certain files under Windows Explorer, the context menu shows an Open in PDF-XChange Editor command. Is it possible to get rid of it ?

Though you do know the use of these features without a license will water mark the document. Right? Please make a copy first... Yes, thank you for reminding me. The balance between free and paid features is quite reasonable, and the relevant user interface points are very finely tuned. At least, th...

Thank you.

I thought I would get an email when an answer would be posted to my question, but I somehow missed the correct setting.

Thanks for the super-fast response, that's very helpful, I'm working on an urgent document ! The right-click option works great -- as long as one accepts the watermarks. However, I can't find the File / New document menu. I use the classical UI. Or am I not supposed to see it, since I have the free ...

I have scanned a paper document. This produced one pdf file per page. I would now like to combine them all in a single pdf file. Is that possible with the free version ? I thought the Merge feature would do this, but I see only one pdf page available to merge, and no way to add others. I also saw a ...

These are the kinds of things that are a pleasant surprise when you unexpectedly discovered them as you are first making changes, correct? Actually, no. It's exactly the opposite. When I discovered v.7, coming from v.6 and many others before (not installing it, just researching it on your site), I ...

Hello Daniel, Thank you for the information. I don't use any registry cleaner, but I will keep this handy just in case. The "set and forget" side of that particular setting is what got me in. I just completely forgot how to set it that way again... and there was no hint towards it. The rea...

Hello Daniel, Great info. Thank you. Now I understand. Now do you have any idea my interface might have suddenly changed from one state to another ? Is there something to be aware of ? Something to avoid doing ? And also a suggestion for adjustments, possibly in future versions. That customization y...

Hello Daniel, I exported successfully the settings from the portable to the installed version. Now, I'll have to customise again all my toolbars, because those were not the settings I had before. Nevertheless, something is not right there. How is that view called ? The one that is good for me ? How ...

Hello Stefan,

Now I'm completely lost. Here is the interface I still have in my portable version :
That's what I had in my working, installed version (with a few toolbar variations). How is that called ? How do I return to that ?

Thank you.

Hello Daniel, My main issue is that the installed version cannot switch anymore between Ribbon UI and Classical UI. It has switched to Ribbon all by itself, and selecting Classical does nothing. As for the settings, I made them in v.7, so I'm past the compatibility hurdle now. Incidentally, I also h...

...And there does not seem to be a way to make it come back. I'm always set to the Classical UI, with a custom toolbar arrangement. Last time I launched PDF X-Change Editor, it reverted to the Ribbon UI, and lost all settings (or at least some of them). I restored settings from a backup. However, wh...

Thank you ! I had been browsing the help in between, and managed to make it work. You need to tick the Zoom In / Zoom Out option in the drop-down menu before selecting the area, otherwise it won't not work. I also tried to tinker with the View / Zoom / Zoom to Selection command, which does the same ...

I can't find it anymore. In v.6, you could select an area of your document, and the zoom would automatically adjust to fit it. It was extremely fast and very convenient.

Thank you Will.

Splendid support as usual. Differences between portable and installed versions are one of my pet interests, and I've never been able to get as thorough an answer for any other program.

Daniel, Thank you for a very detailed and comprehensive answer. My personal conclusion is : unless genuine portability is needed (that is, running from a flash drive), portable versions are good for exploring a brand-new edition, such a 7 compared to 6, while staying with the older edition before th...

Mine has an 'Open with...' entry on the R-click, although a double click will also open the file. I prefer the downloaded PDF to open in Editor rather than in the browser as it's more flexible in choices and I prefer the interface. You can choose to do this in Options - Applications in the browser ...

Does PDF X-Change Editor pollute one's right-click menu ? I have a v.6 installed version, and other pdf readers did, not PDF X-Change. Also, I did not find any option in Preferences relevant to that. If you don't have/allow browser plug-ins, does that mean you won't be able to read pdf's in the brow...

Mainly wondering about things like speed, features, etc. Either would be installed on my internal disk anyway. I'm a single user with a single computer. I tend to prefer portable versions because they leave no trace at uninstall, but I always wonder if portable does not come at the expense of someth...

Hello, Browsing the forum, I discovered the solution to the irritating problem of not being able to copy highlighted text : hold the Shift key. Is this related to the Exclusive Mode, as Shift is supposed to toggle it temporarily ? And can anyone explain to me the Exclusive Mode in simple terms, as t...

Patrick, Good to know my concern is shared. Anyway, the few times I've requested help from this forum the response was quick and efficient, even for a free user such as me. I consider this to be a very important factor in selecting software. Incidentally, I have now uninstalled/reinstalled as advise...

Editor [Free], PDF-XChange Editor, and PDF-XChange Editor plus all share the same installer and program executable. The differences depend entirely on the license used if any. Thanks so much for clarifying this, Patrick. It's funny, but I almost disbelieved you at first : how can it be the same ins...

Just one thing, Willy :

That would be PDF-XChange Editor, right ? PDF-XChange Editor Plus is a paid-for version, isn't it ?

Thanks, Willy & Will... will do that. :wink: For anybody reading this thread and having the same problem, I would add (presumably ; corrections welcome) : don't use Tracker Update. Or use it only in order to be alerted, but go to the site and do the update manually. Oh, and export your settings ...

Hello Will, No, I don't have a licence. I had Editor + Lite installed separately, then the internal Tracker Software updating app did its job at some point, and I think it erased my separate Lite install, and replaced it with an install within the updated Editor. So I can't even uninstall the waterm...

Please. I now have watermarks on my virtual prints by Lite. This was not the case before. I updated recently through the embedded updater. This seems to have broken things. I now have PDF X-Change Editor v.6.0.320.1, Free, Pro functions deactivated. Before, I had installed PDF X-Lite Free/Home v.6.0...

It is also possible that the Edit -> Preferences -> Commenting -> Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out and Underline comment pop-ups checkbox is clicked. That's it ! It worked ! Thank you, Stefan. Without your help, I would never have found out. That option is very well hidden ! By the way ...

When I use the Highlight function, I get a mini-icon above the highlighted line of text, like this : It partly hides the text in many cases and is very annoying. Is this expected behaviour ? Is there any way to prevent it ?
