Installation of Viewer and Editor

Post by pmalecki »

Hi,
as the import of the comments (xfdf) files is not implemented in the Editor 308 yet, I would like to use the Viewer for this purpose having Editor installed too.

How to use the installer package to get both: the Viewer and Editor installed having the Editor the default viewer?

Have a nice day
Piotr

Hi Piotr,

Thanks for the post - I'm afraid that there is no installer that has both the Editor and the Viewer bundled together. The Viewer has been replaced by the Editor, but we have still made it available for download separately:

HTH!

Hi Will,

thx.

Question: is there some preferred sequence of the installation (e.g. first the specially packaged Viewer then Editor or vice versa?)

I hope that you see this problem in general as a hint to the development to implement the import function. The current standard application packaging provides the user a "lost" of feature.

Regards
Piotr

Hi Piotr,

There are no known issues from installing in any particular order, so you should be fine to install the application in any order you'd like.

The importing of comments is certainly something that we plan to add back, for now though, I don't have any information as to when.

Cheers,

If you install Viewer first, then when you install Editor you don't have to worry that Viewer will become or stay your default PDF program.

Hello Norbert,

We will release build 311 in the next couple of weeks to fix some bugs, and the next build that will introduce new features will be 312 - for the moment planned for before Christmas.

Regards,
Stefan
