pro-icon Integration with Microsoft SharePoint

 


 

The PDF-XChange PRO suite includes integration of PDF-XChange Editor into SharePoint Online. This means that when users are browsing a SharePoint Online document library in a supported Chromium-based web browser (Edge, Chrome, Brave etc), they can use the "Open in PDF-XChange Editor" functionality detailed in the user interface.

 

Please note that SharePoint On Premise does not offer the functionality required to support this integration, and that will remain the case unless MicroSoft change the related policy.

The following components are required in order to use this functionality:

1.License

A licensed installation of PDF-XChange PRO on the machine used to browse the document library. This functionality is a PDF-XChange Pro premium feature, and therefore a valid PDF-XChange PRO license is required.

2.Server-Side App

Our server-side application installed on your SharePoint Online tenant. This can be found in the SharePoint store when searching for "PDF-XChange".

3.Browser Extension

The PRO version of the PDF-XChange Chromium extension in your web browser. The PDF-XChange extension found in the various extension repositories for Chromium browsers does not include the required components to integrate into SharePoint. The PDF-XChange PRO installer puts this additional functionality in your browser by default during the installation PDF-XChange PRO.

4.The 'Local Part'

The "local part" of the tool. This is a component that is installed on the user's machine during a PDF-XChange PRO installation. It has the role of passing the file to PDF-XChange Editor in a manner that allows the use of the SharePoint tools for checking in/out etc.

 

Further information on the installation and setup of the SharePoint browser integration is available here.
