Hello.
I'd like to use the portable version of viewer and want to enable the shell extension (https://www.pdf-xchange.com/shell_ext.html) to display thumbnails while in Windows Explorer.
Is it possible to do this with the portable version?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Enable Shell Extensions with portable Viewer
Hi fghj,
The "Shell Extension" needs to register itself with Windows, and also deploy a few files, so it breaks the portability of the Viewer. You should simply install a normal copy of the Viewer on the machine on which you want to have the previews.
