PDF-XChange Viewer 2.5.212

Should be in "Addons loaded" > "All addons" (translated).

 

I read in PDFXchange forum that currently it works this way i.e it will not show up in addons in IE.

This is for the new free version i.e PDFXchange Editor but I guess the same applies for viewer.

They are going to add an option in the GUI to disable it. Currently no way to disable it directly. But you can remove it by running installer again & selecting custom install & unchecking the plugin option.

 

PDFXchange Editor Free 3 build 307 released on 31st Dec 2013.

There may be fixes & improvements but I couldn't find the release notes.

In previous version 3 build 306, it had classic interface. In version 3 build 307, it has ribbon interface.

Hide PRO Features is still not available.

Autoupdate & manual update still not available.

 

Thanks for the heads-up narenbisht. The version history for the Editor is here:

But nothing's posted for the new version yet.

 

Thanks for the tip! Install went smoothly.

The new version seems to be fine, but there is a change I don't like.

I HATE it when programs use the "paper model" for small file icons. What I mean is, you know how an icon will often consist of a piece of paper and a logo in the middle of it? That's fine for the Windows default large icons, but it just doesn't work in details view where the icons are only 16x16. At that size you can't really tell what it is, and it's not easily distinguishable from other icons in the list (which is the reason the icon is there in the first place).

Anything that uses the paper model should not do it at 32x32 or smaller. When you get down to that size, just make it the logo itself and ditch the paper.

I migrated to the Editor, 5.5.308.1. Better interface, now with shell extensions.
