Will it keep my settings when installing program update?

Post by David.P »

Hi forum,

my program version is 2.0.40.7 and I have done extensive changes to the menu bars, buttons, toolbars etc.

Will I loose any of these customizations when I install the latest update of PDFxchange Viewer?

Thank you
David.P

Hello David,

The build you have is indeed a bit old, but you should be able to use Edit -> Export All settings to data file - to make a back up,

Then you can download and install the latest build over the old one - this should only replace the needed files, and keep your settings intact (but even if it does not you have them backed up already ;) )

Best,
Stefan

Stefan,

it went without a hitch, and my preferred "RTTM" user interface is still there :)

Cheers David

As I understand it, PDF-XChange Editor and PDF-Tools settings are exported and imported separately?

Hello Jensen Head,

Yes, Editor and PDF Tools settings are exported/imported separately as these are two separate software products.

Kind regards,
Stefan
