The PDF-XChange Printer Standard component can be installed as a stand-alone product or as a part of the PDF-XChange PRO bundle. Installers for the stand-alone PDF-XChange Printer Standard Printer are available as either an .exe or .msi installer. Further information on the merits of each format is available here. Note that although .exe installers are available for PDF-XChange Printer Standard, they are designed for single-user installations and do not utilize options or switches. This guide is intended for use with managed installations and therefore will refer only to the .msi installers.

 

Discrete installers for the current version of PDF-XChange Printer Standard are always available at:

 

https://www.pdf-xchange.com/StandardV10.x64.msi

https://www.pdf-xchange.com/StandardV10.x86.msi

 

The installation of a product using an .msi is achieved by passing the .msi file as a parameter (along with the desired options) to the system executable msiexec.exe using standard Microsoft Syntax. Please note the following:

 

If no options are specified then the default options will be used.

If no features are specified then all features will be installed.

The full UNC paths to the .msi installer and any supporting files should be used.

Product features are specified using the ADDLOCAL standard .msi property.

Product properties are specified using the Product Specific Properties.

 

A comprehensive list of the PDF-XChange Printer Standard installer switches and their options is available here.

 

The standard options that the PDF-XChange Printer Standard .msi installers use enable a consistent installation experience over a range of deployment methods. The switches and options remain the same whether they are assigned/published via GPO, SCCM or through third-party deployment tools. They are always applied via command line switches or through the modification of the .msi - either directly or using a transform file.
