I have a problem with updating.

Problem:

I am having trouble updating my PDF-XChange software.

Cause

In some cases, you may be using a discontinued product, such a PDF-XChange Viewer, which has been succeeded by the PDF-XChange Editor. These are separate products, and you cannot update one to the other, they must be installed separately.

If you are experiencing issues with administrative rights while running the updater, please contact support@pdf-xchange.com for assistance.

Resolution:

Follow the below instructions to remove what is installed, and manually update.

Uninstall what is currently installed:
1. Open the control panel.
2. Click on Uninstall a program.
3. Locate everything published by Tracker software products OR PDF-XChange LTD.
4. Click uninstall and follow the onscreen instructions.
