SharePoint Browser Integration Installation and Setup
The following components are required in order to use this functionality:

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.

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.
