Install scripts for all users?

Post by dasy2k1 »

Hi there,
is there a way to install custom scripts for all users on a machine?

at the moment each user has to go to Tools --> import tools and select the file we provide for the custom tools they need:
this results in having to chase users to upgrade when we release a new version of the tools....

is there a file we can put somewhere that defines the tools in such a way that all users aromatically get access to them (and ideally in a way we can replace it with a shortcut to a network location so its rolled out automatically.

with the editor we can put the stamps in
C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF Editor\Stamps\ENU
and all users get access without having to do anything.
basically looking for something similar with custom tools.

Hello, dasy2k1

PDF-Tools custom tools are stored in the current user registry, Specifically, this key here:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Tracker Software\PDFXTools\8.0\Settings\CustomTools
If you copy this key (and its subkeys) to the current user hive for all users, they will have access to the same custom tools directly.

If you wish to move all PDF Tools settings, including these custom tools, you can instead move the PDFXTools key, or even the "Tracker Software" Key to move all application settings for all of our products.
