Migration of settings file from PdfXChange-Viewer to PdfXChange-Editor

Post by AnKeilha »

Hello,
we are in the process of migrating from PdfXChange-Viewer to PdfXChange-Editor. With PdfXChange-Viewer we used

invoke(getId("LoadSettings"), new Variant[] { new Variant("settings.ini") });
invoke(getId("SaveSettings"), new Variant[] { new Variant("settings.ini") });

to read and save settings to a file.

We are aware that there are functions available in PdfXChange-Editor to do - essentially - the same thing (LoadUserSettings, SaveUserSettings), but we were wondering if there was any migration path available for our old settings files.

Is there any way to convert the old settings files (i.e. "settings.ini" as mentioned above) to the new format that can then be loaded using LoadUserSettings of the new PdfXChange-Editor or, alternatively, is there a function available in the new PdfXChange-Editor that can load settings which were saved in the old format (i.e. saved via a PdfXChange-Viewer)?

Regards,
Andreas

Hello Andreas,

There is no way to merge the old Viewer settings and the current Editor Settings whatsoever.

Cheers,
Alex
