@msys: Simply move the folder C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\Common to your custom installation directory. If you install all components in another custom directory, use also the base directory, if you just install the Editor in another directory, copy it into the Editor installation directory. B...

BigMike

Ok, I'll probably go with the default install into a custom directory until the improved installers are there.

Thank you.

BigMike

Hello Daniel, thank you for your quick and honest response. In light of this, we are looking at a few different approaches, but the most likely one we will follow is to have a single selection for the installation directory, and all files, (Editor, Tools, Common, etc) will always go into that folder...

Hi, I just updated to version 8.0.331.0 using the ZIP installer package. The hint to change the default installation directory before choosing the "Custom Installation" didn't help. The "Common" and the "Vault" directory are still placed in the default location %Program...

BigMike

Thank you for the hint. I will try this with the next update.

BigMike

Hi, - I always use the PDF-XChange PRO ZIP package, not the installer for the Editor - I did the upgrade from version 7.0.328.0 to 8.0.330.0 - I used custom install and changed the installation directory for all installed components (Editor, Tools, Printer, Shell Extension) - I didn't install the Up...

BigMike

Hi, I'd like to extend my report. With version 8, there's not only C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\Vault, but also C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\Common, which seems to be a default directory path and can't be changed. Language files and OCR dictionaries are placed in C:\Program Files\Tracker S...

BigMike

Drag & Drop is fine in the new language tool; Verify all seems to be unfinished? At least, I can't select the folder with my translations...

BigMike

Was something changed here for version 7.0.325? I had to set the folders myself again at the update. By the way, I can't change the installation folder for the "XCVault.exe" While all other files go to the custom installation folders, this one is still placed in %Program Files%\Tracker So...

BigMike

This issue is still present in 8.0.330

Yesterday I came across a post in Bruce Schneier's blog about broken signature validation in many PDF viewers. In the list of affected viewers PDF-XChange Viewer is contained, too. Since it was retired for quite some time now, I thought, I need to remember to always use the Editor for signature vali...

Hi,

if I change the look of links, which are produced with PDF XChange printer, the "example" on the right in the preferences page doesn'change:

Version 7.0.328.2

BigMike

Hi, I've just tested and reproduced my problem with the latest version of PDF-XChange 7.0.328.2: I've defined multiple profiles. Some of them run a custom application after printing the PDF. I'm talking abount Save -> Run Options - If I change the "Application" or the "Parameters"...

BigMike

Hi,

I just wanted to let you know, that both issues still exist - I updated today to build 7.0.328.2.

Kind regards
Michael

BigMike

I guess you won't have the "Shell Extension" and the "Browser Plugins" in the portable version, as they clearly need operating system integration.

BigMike

I guess you should use the MSI package for an easy deployment with SCCM... https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgebase/317-How-do-I-use-Orca-and-mst-to-deploy-your-products or register PDF-XChange Editor after deployment https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgebase/468-How-do-I-Silently-deploy-my-serial-...

BigMike

Hi Daniel,

thank you very much. A "check all" function would be really great - this would simplify the translation process a lot.

Kind regards
Michael

BigMike

Hi, I've got a feature request for the translation tool: Could you implement (or is there already) a way to open the translation files from explorer? If I try to open a translation file with PDFXLocalizer.exe "Strings.de-DE.xcl" only an empty translation tool window will open. At the momen...

BigMike

Hi,

thank you for the hint

Fixed and sent - you can replace the language file by the one attached here.

PowerShell 2.0 should be included in Windows 7, but I'm not sure if my one liner works in 2.0... PowerShell is based on .Net Framework, so you'll need .Net Framework 4.5 or above for PowerShell 5.1. Afterwards install Windows Management Framework 5.1 (which includes PowerShell 5.1). If you only like...

BigMike

Thanks. I hadn't heard of PowerShell before; just checked it out and it is very interesting. Will try this later today. PowerShell is a very mighty tool. Did you use the default command line "cmd.exe" before? For most commands are aliases in PowerShell, so it's easier to switch... To swit...

BigMike

Hi Daniel, I hope you can remind the Devo team to take a look at this problem and fix it. I now have a couple of hundred filenames to go through to remove the ".dpdf" that occurs before the filename extension (and more accumulating daily). Quite frustrating, and it seems it should be easy...

For the time being, I'm using Comodo's Time Stamping server:

It's working fine with PDF-XChange Editor

I'd say, at the moment, the OneDrive plugin only supports the OneDrive consumer version (attached to a Live ID). Neither OneDrive for Business in the global cloud, nor in the Microsoft Cloud Germany, nor any other regional cloud (China, US Gov, ...) attached to an Office 365 subscription seem to be ...

BigMike

Can you try to select the language manually?
It's fine here in version 7:

BigMike

Hi jagd05, sorry, you got me wrong. The only think about installing PDF XChange Editor or Viewer is we don't have admin rights on our computers to install, even though it doesn't require a license. Also, a watermark would not work in our case, and money is not an issue. I didn't want to say "us...

BigMike

Actually, as you know your "business cases" best, why don't you compare it yourself? Most users here probably don't know Adobe Acrobat Pro (I don't) PDF-XChange Editor can be installed without a license key and contains all features. If you use a feature, which requires a license, a non-re...

BigMike

This typo should already be fixed in the upcoming release.
At least, I fixed numerous typos and can't find this one in my latest local language files.

BigMike

Hi, probably Adobe Reader verifies the certificates on opening, while PDF-XChange Editor notifies about the missing verification.
You can change PDF-XChange Editors behavior:

BigMike

Hi, thank you for testing. Today, I got also the new version.

BigMike

Hi,

I get version 2.5.322.7, if I try to download the ZIP package of the viewer:
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/downlo ... 4011971fcd
The installer inside the archive is dated 11.08.2017. Tried 5 minutes ago.
Could you please check that?

BigMike

The major problem is: It doesn't work! You can't seem to minimize the ribbon or its tabs; rather, "Home" (for instance) must stay open always. Did you notice the little arrow pointing above, on the very right, in the same height as the ribbon titles? Also, I couldn't find any way to make ...

BigMike

Tracker Updater seems not to be contained. If I try to open the existing translation file, I get an error:
"This file doesn't contain translation for the loaded modules".
If I try to create a new translation for the updater (File -> New), there is no "TrackerUpdater".

BigMike

Is there a way to import translations from the old translation files to the new ones?
I tried Localize -> Insert Translated strings from another file, but this gives me an error, that the file format is not correct.
This would probably speed up the translation a lot.

Kind regards
Michael

Hi, I'm always using the ZIP Installer Package . Today, I've updated from build 322.3 to build 322.5. But this happened with all updates until now. I'm using Windows 10 1703, x64. I've installed the Tracker products to C:\Program Files\Office\Tracker Software\... at every update, the new installatio...

BigMike

Hi there, I'm using the ZIP-Package of PDF-XChange Pro. When doing an Update of my current installation, the Setup recognizes the installed components correctly, but not a changed installation directory. The update will install the new files to the default location, if I don't change it manually. Co...

BigMike

Hi,
all translatable strings are translated, according to the translation tool. The typo is still in the translation files, contained in the last version 322.4, but I've just fixed it here

Thank you for reporting.

BigMike

Hi,
if you don't mind, could you test:
Port "465" with connection security "SSL/TLS" or "587" with "STARTTLS" as these are the default ports for SMTP servers. Your combination of port/protocol is unusual...

BigMike

Thank you for the info, I'll wait patiently and hope the best.

Sorry, but if I try to open one of my (local) language files with the updated language tool, I get the message This language file was created for the newest version of the module. If you open (and save) this file some information about new components will be lost. We recommend you to update the pro...

BigMike

Hi Ivan,

I've attached the file to this post. Actually this happens with all files, I've updated with the language tool published in this thread before the release of build 319. It doesn't happen with unchanged files.

Kind regards

BigMike

Hi, would you mind to include the latest "Localize.dat" also in the installer? From the last few releases, I know, that some strings change as the files included in the language tool are a bit different from the files included in the installer. So I could translate the latest strings in th...

Does build 6.0.318.1 fix the context menu problems?

BigMike

Hi, I've noticed, that your installers behave differently when updating an existing installation. I'm just using PDF XChange Viewer as viewer application for PDF documents and its installer is quite fine. If I'm updating an older installation, all settings will be remembered (selected components, in...

BigMike

Little Update on my issues... 2. The package contains the language file TrackerUpdate.uk-UA.xcl, but I can't find a corresponding ressource file to start a corresponding translation. Any news about this issue would still be appreciated :) Never mind, found it myself. Copy "TrackerUpdate.exe&qu...

BigMike

I don't know who created these translations. Actually, I think, these translation came with the product, which Tracker Software uses to create their installers, since the untranslated "Tracker specific" strings are separated in a custom section. But I changed also some strings, which were ...

BigMike

Just to point this out - I translated the missing strings in the setup language resource file you provided, so the setup routine should be completely localized in German. The updater's language resources are still not translated to German as I don't know how. So the updater itself will remain in Eng...
