Digital Sign Appearance Template ex- /import

Post by SPR_Andreas »

Hi Tracker Team,

[PDF XChange Editor Version 7.0 Build 324.3]

I've done only a quick search for this topic, but couldn't find any hints in the help document or this forum.

We would like to have all signatures in our company to have the same layout/ look.

Is there a possibility to export and import the Templates to use the same template on different Systems?

Optimal solution would be, if the Templates are saved in separate Files which could automatically pushed out by our IT on all Systems.
But a manual export and import would also be nice.


Sadly, I couldn't find an option for the export or a file on my system which looked like it could contain these templates.

Best regards
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

the PDF-XChange Editor does allow you to export these to file that can be loaded by others, yes.

In the Editor under File then Manage Settings are the options to Export, Import, and Reset the settings. On doing Export one can select to export only the "Digital Signature Appearance Templates"

Which can be imported to other devices either manually through the GUI and "Import Settings", or via the command line with a switch: /importsettings : https://help.pdf-xchange.com/pdfxe ... ns_ed.html


/importsettings

This command imports all settings from a file created by the /exportsettings command, or by the Export Settings feature. This operation can also be achieved via the Import Settings feature.

Syntax

/importsettings[:<parameters>] <filename>

Parameters
Note that all parameters support the values yes, no, 1, 0, true and false.
•common - imports common application options (but does not include the presets lists, trusted/untrusted locations and names or places). The default value is true.
•presets - imports the application presets lists, such as color management and scanner presets. The default value is true.
•trustedlist - imports the list of trusted/untrusted locations and names. The default value is true.
•places - imports the list of places (user-defined locations that are used to open files, such as Dropbox folders). The default value is true.
•history - imports the list of recently opened files. The default value is true. The value merge can be used to combine the existing history with the imported history.
•stamps - imports all custom stamps collections. The default value is true.
•dsatemplates - imports the digital signature appearance templates. The default value is true.
•pluginsdata – imports advanced plugins data. The default value is true.
•signatures - imports the list of signatures and initials. The default value is true.
•all - imports all settings. Note that this command line option can be customized using any of the available parameters. For example, "/importsettings:all=yes;stamps=0" imports all settings except stamps, and "/importsettings:all=no;stamps=1" imports only stamps. This command line does not have a default value because it is a combined option, but each option has its own default value, as detailed above.
•settings - imports all application settings (common, presets, trustedlist and places). This command line does not have a default value because it is a combined option, but each option has its own default value, as detailed above.

Examples

PDFXEdit.exe /importsettings "c:\PDFXChangeEditorSettings.xces"
PDFXEdit.exe /importsettings:history=merge "c:\PDFXChangeEditorSettings.xces"
PDFXEdit.exe /importsettings:history=merge;stamps=yes;settings=no "c:\PDFXChangeEditorSettings.xces"
I hope that helps.
Best regards
