Windows file properties: twice "PDF Information"

Post by Peter2 »

The Windows "File properties" show me the tab for "PDF Information" twice: one in English, one in German.

Bug or Feature?

Most likely you have both the PDF-XChange Editor and the old PDF-XChange Viewer installed.
Both of them had shell extensions and now you see property pages provided by both of them. The old Viewer had no localization in its shell extensions.
To 'remove' it without uninstalling the Viewer, you will need to run the following command line with admin privileges:

Code: Select all

regsvr32 /u "%ProgramFiles%\Tracker Software\Shell Extensions\XCShInfo.dll"
You might also need to adjust which of the other shell extensions are used for previews, thumbnails, etc. To do that, just run XCShInfoSetup.exe from the %ProgramFiles%\Tracker Software\Shell Extensions folder.
