PDF view - PDFX as Viewer

[tosbsas]

hey there

I am kind of desperate - I have been on xp for a long time and using ieview and txquickview I could use PDFX with F3 - it just opened within the lister window.

Now on win7 I have the same setup, but I always get a lister window - says navigation interrupted, than I can see some temp thing showing and than the pdfx viewer opens the file.

Any ideas?

I don't know about PDFX, but you may try Pdfview instead:

Here is how I made it work:
1. download gs870w64.exe on 64-bit Windows, or gs870w32.exe and run it. You can find it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript/
2. Install to default location c:\program files\gs
3. Download PdfView plugin from www.totalcmd.net
4. Double click its zip archive to install it in Total Commander
5. Try to view PDF file -> get an error
6. I checked the readme in the plugin directory: It seems that
we need to set the Ghostscript path in lsplugin.ini
7. Check in menu Help - About Total Commander where
the file wincmd.ini is located -> go there. On my system,
it's located in
c:\users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\GHISLER\
8. Go there, open lsplugin.ini with F4 and add the line
exepath="c:\program files\gs\gs8.70\bin\gswin32c.exe"

-> works! You can zoom files with "F" key, scroll, use
PageDown/up etc. It even works in Ctrl+Q!

I hope that you can get it to work too!

So, you can actually view pdfs on IE with PDFX as plugin?

hmm very strange but I have searched on my system using "everything" and cant find lsplugin.ini anywhere.

IIRC lsplugin.ini should be created in the same directory as your wincmd.ini but only if plugin supports it. If it does not exist, create it by your own.

LOL , thats a nice simple solution, thanks. If only everything was that simple.
