@janv
i have tested this program, the best is the explanation of the plugs.
I was talking about DLL(librarys), but as i mentioned before i use pdfviewer ,its only 300kb.
It can be found here:
http://www.paehl.de/pdfviewer.zip

Its for me on a 800mhz-system the quickest way to open pdf and read it comfortably.

It uses ghostscript like the other pdf-plugin from Heidenreich,which is nice,but for some reason the newer updates of this plugin doesnt allow me to make it readable,because i cannot enlarge the fontsize, zooming impossible
(its greyed out)
I should write it in the other thread, but i hope Florian Heidenreich is reading here too (version 1.0.3.0, published as wlx_pdfview_104.zip)
i think both of them using only one dll ,the gsdll32.dll

I can't seem to make it to see it. It just skips this plugin no matter how many times I press 4. It just jumps from ieview to synplus and to ieview again.
This is part of my wincmd.ini file:

[ListerPlugins]
0=C:\totalcmd\plugins\wlx\CADView\CADView.wlx
0_detect="FORCE | EXT="DXF" | EXT="DWG" | EXT="PLT" | EXT="HGL" | EXT="RTL" | EXT="HG" | EXT="PLO" | EXT="HP" | EXT="HPG" | EXT="HPGL" | EXT="PRN" | EXT="HP2" | EXT="SPL" | EXT="GL2" | EXT="HPGL2" | EXT="HP1" | EXT="CGM" | EXT="SVG""
1=C:\totalcmd\plugins\wlx\ActivePDFView\ActivePDFView.wlx
2=C:\totalcmd\plugins\wlx\Imagine\Imagine.wlx
2_detect="MULTIMEDIA"
3=C:\totalcmd\plugins\wlx\Office\office.wlx
4=C:\totalcmd\plugins\wlx\SynPlus\SynPlus.wlx
5=C:\totalcmd\plugins\wlx\IEView\ieview.wlx

Where do I tell the lister that this plugin should load in case a .pdf file appears?.
Or may be it's necessary that "Display in PDF Browser" option inside Acrobat Reader be active?. Ieview launches the full Acrobat Reader window because of this.
If I try to tick this option, Acrobat tryies to install some software but fails to find the location of the new files.
I guess that as this plugin just uses the .dll files from acrobat, maybe it should show the contents inside the window no matter what.
PS:This is my corporate laptop, I'd like to avoid reinstalling whole Acrobat Reader because of this plugin not working. Installing ghoscript is no better solution.

My system:
Acrobat Reader 7.0
TC 7.01
Windows XP SP2
IBM Thinkpad T43P

Hello!

Maybe a detect string like
2_detect=ext="PDF"
helps?

[Yuta]

Hello!

Maybe a detect string like
2_detect=ext="PDF"
helps?

Thanks. I had already checked, but it didn't worked.
Actually, this are the 2 strings I've tested without luck:
1_detect="FORCE | EXT="PDF""
or
1_detect="EXT="PDF""

[JohnFredC]

Hi. This is the ActivePDFView author speaking. Thanks for trying the plugin!

I use both of the following strings:

[face=courier]0=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\wlx\ActivePDFView.wlx
0_detect=FORCE | EXT="PDF"[/face]

Hope this helps!

Still no luck. I've tryed removing the Ieview plugin and now loads first as "text only" or "binary" depending on file. Pressing 4 opens synplus and pressing 4 again reopens the file in synplus. The path was reassigned using Ctrl-Shift-Enter over the file, so the path to the file is OK.
This is my new wincmd.ini [ListerPlugins] section copyed from "Change settings files directly".

0=C:\totalcmd\plugins\wlx\ActivePDFView\ActivePDFView.wlx
0_detect="FORCE | EXT="PDF""
1=C:\totalcmd\plugins\wlx\CADView\CADView.wlx
1_detect="FORCE | EXT="DXF" | EXT="DWG" | EXT="PLT" | EXT="HGL" | EXT="RTL" | EXT="HG" | EXT="PLO" | EXT="HP" | EXT="HPG" | EXT="HPGL" | EXT="PRN" | EXT="HP2" | EXT="SPL" | EXT="GL2" | EXT="HPGL2" | EXT="HP1" | EXT="CGM" | EXT="SVG""
2=C:\totalcmd\plugins\wlx\Imagine\Imagine.wlx
2_detect="MULTIMEDIA"
3=C:\totalcmd\plugins\wlx\Office\office.wlx
4=C:\totalcmd\plugins\wlx\SynPlus\SynPlus.wlx

The additional quotes at beginning and end of the 0_detect string are added by TC when I close it. Restarting TC doesn't help either.
The file was extracted from activepdfview_1.0.zip and doing a compare by contents gives identical files.
ActivePDFView.wlx is a 144384 Bytes file.
Can someone make a file named "ActivePDFView.md5" with the text:

2599234a362b08518975b4fae39c9ea6 *ActivePDFView.wlx

and make a "verify CRC checksums"?

[JohnFredC]

Sorry Yuta, I don't know how to help you further.

Maybe deleting both entries and using TCPlugman to install the plugin might help.

I don't know of anyone having encountered this issue before. Usually it's about anomalous behavior with different versions of Adobe Reader (which MUST be installed in order for my little plugin to work...).

Thanks. I like your plugin because I don't want to install ghostscript. I forgot to mention that I had Acrobat Reader 8.0 installed.
It also never happened to me before with any plugin.
Would you mind to do the MD5 check?.
How can I know what is failing?. Isn't there any way to debug this?.
And last, how does your plugin know where to find the .dll files?

[Wilhelm M.]

Hi Yuta!

If I'm not totally mislead, the solution is so simple that even JohnFredC does not see it: you have an extra "" in your detect string.

From your post: 0_detect="FORCE | EXT="PDF"" .

JohnFredC gave you this: 0_detect=FORCE | EXT="PDF" .

And I have proposed this: 0_detect=ext="PDF" which is the same as JohnFredC's but without the "force" instruction. Kick out the extra "" and try again.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I had noted that, that's why I said:

The additional quotes at beginning and end of the 0_detect string are added by TC when I close it

Though I was a bit wrong. TC adds the quotes, after you edit the plugins positions from the configure plugins dialog.
Either way, with or without the quotes, and restarting (or not) TC doesn't help.
Maybe my file is wrong, that's why I asked for a MD5 check.
