In Windows 7 (which I use), I think you just have to click on Control Panel, Programs, Default Programs, Set Associations and change the .pdf back to
Adobe X. I haven't tried changing back to Adobe because, so far, I've actually preferred the X-Change Viewer as my default.
By the way, I've been asked by a colleague on the continent if I know of a Mac equivalent (since X-Change Viewer is, apparently, limited to Windows
users). I don't know much about Macs, so wondered if anyone on here had any suggestions for him.
I've done a few quick Google searches, and the webpage below suggests "Skim" for Mac Os users:
blogallalong.com...
It is definitely the best equivalence to pdf-xchange viewer.
But someone else disagreed:
Skim for mac doesnt hold a candle to pdf x change viewer; the number of things the latter can do is amazing. I ended up having to use pdf x-change
viewer via a wine layer, which although functional, is not ideal.
(I've never come across a "wine layer" and, since I don't own a mac, presumably never will...)
Anyone used "Skim" and know if it has a fast search function allowing users to search directories full of PDF documents so I can suggest it as a
possibility to the chap that asked for a Mac alternative??
