All documents viewed previously in PDF-XChange Editor are detailed chronologically in the Unpinned Recents list.

The pin feature is included so documents considered more important are not moved down the list when new documents are viewed. They will remain in the Pinned Recents list instead. Click the pin icon next to unpinned documents in order to add documents to the list of Pinned Recents.

Click the pin icon next to Pinned Recents in order to remove documents from the list. Click documents from either list in order to open them.

Hover the pointer over documents to view document properties. Alternatively, click Open to select a file from the local computer.

Files from the local computer can also be selected using the Open From option. This option should also be used to select files from a website URL, SharePoint server or Google Drive. Follow the on-screen instructions for these options.

Click Manage History and Recents to view/edit the History and Recent List Options.

 

Hover over Open From to open files from specific locations. The Open From submenu will open:
