Import Settings

Post by brandj »

Hello,

we want to perform a roll out of the PDF-XChange settings for many users on Win 7 pro Clients.
The version used is: PDF-XChange Editor 6.0 Build 320.1.
The 64bit-application is installed in a special directory: %ProgramFiles%\PDFxChange

The settings have been exportetd by "Edit/Export Settings" to a file named "PDFXC_02-2017.xcs"

On a client the following command is used to import the settings:
"%ProgramFiles%\PDFxChange\PDF Editor\PDFXEdit.exe" /importsettings "\\FILER\ShareName\PDFXC_02-2017.xcs"
We also tried a local path for the settings file.

The command is executed without any errors but the settings do not apply.

If we do the import within the application "Edit/Import Settings" everything works fine.

Do you have any hints?!? :?:

Thanks a lot.

Hello brandj,

Does the user account have write access to HKCU ?
And is the command line executed with the same and correct user account?

Regards,
Stefan

Hello,

I did a test with exporting PDF-XChange Editor's settings via Edit > Export Settings... to an *.xces file
After this, I delete the PDFXEditor key in Windows Registry
Finally, I used the *.xces file via a batch file (*.bat) to import my settings back again (see example *.bat in attachment).

This works without problem.

?? Maybe it is just the fact that you are using the extension *.xcs in your script instead of *.xces ??

Best regards.

Shame on me :shock:
Thanks, Willy ... the file was saved as '.xces' an I tried to import it as '.xcs' :lol: :lol: :lol:
As no error was shown I thought my script was ok :mrgreen:

So, it is solved - thanks again and sorry for the case :wink:
