PDF XChange Forum

Hello,
we are using PDF-Xchange Pro 5.0.273.1 64 Bit on some Terminalservers.
We used the msi-package with parameters
msiexec /i PDFXC5Pro_x64.msi /quiet ADDLOCAL="F_Drivers,F_Langs_Drv,F_Wizard,F_Help_Wiz,F_Langs_Wiz,F_Viewer,F_VLangs,F_BrowserPlugins,F_IEPlugin,F_NPPlugin,F_Plugins,F_OCRPlugin,F_Plugin_SP,F_FileOpenPlugin,F_ShellExt" PNAME="PDF-XChange" USERNAME="Our Company" ORGANIZATION="Our Company" KEY="Our Licence Key" SET_AS_DEFAULT=1 VIEWER_IN_BROWSERS=1 /lv!*x %computername%_PDFXCPro_x64.log

After Installation PDF-Xchange Editor is already the default viewer. But when a user starts PDF-Xchange Editor the user is prompted if he wants to make PDF-Xchange the default PDF-Viewer.
How can I deactivate the checkbox "Notify when PDF-Xchange Editor is not default PDF-Application" in "Preferences" - "File Associations"
Is there a registrykey available?

Another prompt is shown, when the users try to start printing.
"Some pages will not printed completely because they are outside of available print area. Tip: try to set the Auto-Rotate Page on Paper option before printing or/and set the Choose Paper Size by Documents Page Sizeoption.
Do you want to continue printing?
%Checkbox% Don't show in furure"

How can I deavtivate this message? Is there a registry key available?

with many thanks in advance

Hello pltulm,

These user choises should be stored in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor\3.0\Settings\Prompts

b.AskForDefaultApp = 0
b.PrintCroppedPagesWarn = 0

Stefan

Hi,
thank you it works great.
Dio you have a documentation where I can see other available regkeys?
Do you know if there are plans to use Windospolicys in future releases?
Thanks in advance.

Hi pltulm,

Glad to hear that, and no I don't have a list with all editor prompts yet, but any prompt for which the "do not show again" checkbox has been clicked should be recorded in the same place.

I am not 100% sure what Windospolicys is - can you elaborate a bit please?

Regards,
Stefan

I think he mean "Group Policy":

And it would be really cool if you support some of the important options as GPO.

As admin you can use "Group Policy Templates" to set this thinks in your company:

Hi gerundt,

Thanks for the clarification. I believe our devs have some plans for such support, but when and how that would be implemented is up to them and I don't have any specifics at the moment.

Stefan
