Command to open a PDF in a new instance of PDF-XChange

Mostly I want all PDFs to open in tabs within the one instance of PDF-XChange. But sometimes I want to open a selected PDF in a new instance of PDF-XChange so that I can see the two side by side. Dragging the document to an empty space is too much trouble. What is the command-line command to open th...

Re: Advanced Search should be a toggle

Thanks, Stefan. That makes sense, but it doesn't solve the problem of how to dismiss the Search Panel. Here are some possible solutions: * Close the Search Panel with Escape, in the same way that the little Find box is closed with Escape. * Make yet another menu button that closes the Search panel. ...

Advanced Search should be a toggle

Could you please make Advanced Search into a toggle * The toolbar item Edit --> View --> Search should toggle the panel on and off. * Similarly, the shortcut key Ctrl+Alt+F (I changed this from Ctrl+Shift+F ) should toggle the panel. The only way to turn off the Advanced Search panel, once it is ope...

Re: keyboard shortcuts SOLVED

Thanks Stefan. Yes, I do know about the reporting of clashes, which is a very useful feature. My problem is that I have set up global shortcuts quite independently of Tracker software, and I am trying to find the Tracker shortcuts that I want to use and that are already in use globally. For example,...

Re: keyboard shortcuts SOLVED

Not solved. I need a CSV or XLSX file of all the shortcuts so that I can sort them on the shortcut key, and also on the menu button, and also on the name of the shortcut. I have various clashes with global hotkeys, and I need to sort them out. The list at https://help.pdf-xchange.com/pdfxe6/keyboard...

Re: iFilter not picking up all instances

Thanks, Will, for your courteous reply. No luck, however. * I installed the Editor. There was no option about installing shell extenions, presumably because I chose the full installation rather than custom. * I rebuilt the index using Indexing Options - - > Advanced - - > Rebuild, which of course to...

Re: iFilter not picking up all instances

Thanks, Will. But now I'm unsure how to proceed because I am using the Editor, not the Viewer. I discarded the Viewer some time ago, on Tracker's recommendation, I believe. I downloaded the latest Academic Version installer file PDFX5SA_LE_H, version 5.5.312.1, dated 10th February 2015, and installe...

iFilter not picking up all instances

The Windows search doesn't seem to be picking up all instances. For examples, I have Windows-searched a directory for "bol" (because of Bol constructions in geometry). This should have picked up all .pdf files containing the word "symbol", but it's only picked up about half of th...

Too much vertical space used up at the top.

Right away the Reader has a problem that the Viewer does not have. * With the Viewer, I can drag each toolbar up to the right of the Menu Bar (File, Edit, . . . Help). Provided that I don't display all the toolbars, I can keep the headers to two rows: the standard Windows border, and the Menu Bar ro...

Re: Can I have a list of all keyboard shortcuts

I had searched, but not thoroughly enough. The list I am seeking seems to be here:

It's not sorted on shortcut, but I can cope. It's not a long list.

Can I have a list of all keyboard shortcuts

I want to add some keyboard shortcuts for tasks that I often perform, but I don't want to overwrite keyboard shortcuts that are already there. So far I have made no additions or changes. Could I have a list of all the default keyboard shortcuts. I don't want to have to go through all the menu items ...

Vegemite is definitely the go! Marmite is a dreadful New Zealand imitation that tastes so crook that it puts you off your tucker.

Problem solved. For future reference, the list of five locations is called the "Places Bar", and a very clear explanation of how to customise the Places Bar can be found in Item 8 at: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/10things/10-ways-to-tweak-windows-7-using-the-local-group-policy-editor/1...

Re: How do I edit the five "Save as..." Locations?

Thank you. I expect that the change is made either in some control panel setting, or even in the registry. The maddening thing is that I did it before!

How do I edit the five "Save as..." Locations?

When I begin to save an open .pdf file using "File" --> "Save as", a screen comes up with a list of five locations on the left-hand side. (It's a different list from the "Favorites" list in Windows Explorer, which displays the "Links" directory.) How do I edit...
