Keep the active tool without changing when opening a new pdf

[prasantha]

Hi,
When I open new pdf file, the active tool set to hand. Can some one let me know how can I keep the last active tool as the active tool when I open a new file using pdfexhange editor sdk?

Hello prasantha,

Please open the preferences window (Ctrl + K), and then navigate to Tools, and you will see the options you need to turn on for your active tool to be remembered:

These values should then be stored in the registry, and you can then either force these two to your users, or better yet - just customize a copy of the end user Editor - export ALL of the settngs to a data file, and you can then load all those settings when you start the Editor:

Hi Stefan,

Thank you for your quick response.
CanI know how to achieve this programatically?

Hello prasantha,

I am not sure if there is a method in the SDK directly to change those settings - but they are stored in the registry.
If the "export - import" of all the settings as suggested after the screenshot in my previous post is not to your liking - then just change\create these registry values:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor\3.0\Settings\Tools\b.KeepCurrent = 1
and
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor\3.0\Settings\Tools\b.RestoreLast = 1
