I have two computers with PDF-Xchange Pro on them. It it possible to share the settings - preferences, pinned items, defaults, etc. - between them
Re: Mirror pcs
Yes.
go to File,
Manage Settings,
Export Settings,
Give it a name and save,
Open other computer,
Somehow get the saved file to that other computer (copy and paste or find on server/cloud),
Go to File,
Manage Settings,
Import Settings. the saved file.

Re: Mirror pcs
If you are really game - and accept the risk - you can use the portables and sync their settings file via a cloud service....
I tried is years ago - before we supported Could Files directly. There are some drawbacks, if the two devices do not have similar paths to files etc it can get confused about the history, but is did keep my settings in sync.
Use at your own risk, if you are willing to accept responsibility for your own actions here. This is just a suggestion and comes with the caveat that it's not a tested or supported approach, if you have concerns about it - don't do it. I don't expect data loss but cannot guarantee against it.
cheers

Re: Mirror pcs
It is the definition of madness to work on two different devices that do not have the same paths to files, etc., for more reasons than Manage Settings...Paul - Tracker Supp wrote: ↑Wed Jun 22, 2022 3:45 pm ... if the two devices do not have similar paths to files etc it can get confused about the history, but is did keep my settings in sync.
