PDF-XChange Viewer was last updated in Dec. 2018. Since then, the vendor has replaced it with PDF-XChange Editor. It is a freemium product. “More than 70% of the features in PDF-XChange Editor do not require a license to use.” Even without the licensed features, the product goes substantially beyond the features of Viewer or Acrobat Reader. The user can “Hide all licensed features from toolbars and menus.” (Preferences > Registration). There are several download versions for Editor, but the Editor Portable Version is probably the best one to use with POL.

The last version of Editor on WineHQ is 8.0.343.0:

https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=39697

It has a platinum rating. The vendor released the Windows version of 8.0.343.0 in Nov. 2020.

PDF-XChange Viewer 2.5 build 322 works fine using manual install on Playonlinux. with wine 5.0 configured as windows 7.

No glitches and all tools and features seem to work OK

Thanks for getting this to work. I use it's OCR capabilities to extract text from image PDF's.

Best wishes

Tasmedic.

Rewritten and improved. Bumped Wine-version to 2.0. Windows-version to Win7 SP1. Downloads x86 MSI-installer by default but can also be used to install 64-bit version.

Version 2.5 of the program runs without crashing if you have the right wine version installed (1.5.3-heap_allocation_v2-avoid_deadlock). When a script is made for intalling PDF X-Change Viewer, it should take this into account!

wine 1.6.1 (32bit)

After install please: Activating "Use synchronous mode of page rendering" in PDF-XChange Viewer (Edit
-> Preferences -> Performance) solved the problem --- now it works perfectly
for me.
