Adding updated or additional Languages by Batch-Script

Post by gunnarh »

Updated and additional Languages can be found here:
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/editor_lang

The provided Files have the extension "xclpack", for example German.xclpack

This extension is registered with PDFXEdit.exe - but it is not useable for deployment-Scenarios, because it starts an Language-Import Wizzard.

But adding updated or additional Language Files during unattended Installation is easy:
1. Download the *.xclpack Files you need from the Website
2. Rename for example German.xclpack to German.xclpack.zip => extract the Contents, you get one or more *.xcl Files
3. Just copy these xcl-Files to %ProgramFiles%\Tracker Software\PDF Editor\Languages

Hi Gunnar,

Yes indeed those packs are intended for ease of use by end users, and certainly - deploying the separate language files manually should also work without any issues!

Regards,
Stefan

Hi, gunnarh.

For deployment scenario you may use special command line:

PDFXEdit.exe /addlang[[:mode=]ask|user|all] <filename.xclpack>

Examples:

PDFXEdit.exe /addlang:mode=user "c:\Downloads\German.xclpack"
- installs new languages per user

PDFXEdit.exe /addlang:mode=all "c:\Downloads\German.xclpack"
- installs new languages for all users (requires administrator's privileges)

If posting files to this forum, you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded.
Thank you.
