XYplorer Beta Club

Hello,
This program PDF Tools https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product/pdf-tools/ has a 32 bit and 64 bit version, however it won't let 32 bit be installed on 64 bit Windows 10.

It has a context menu but as is 64 bit, won't show up till you use the 64 bit XYplorer menu.

However it appears there actually is an x86 version of the context menu--see these two files:
C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF Tools\PDFXToolsShellMenu.x86.dll
C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF Tools\PDFXToolsShellMenu.x64.dll

One reg key I've found: Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E0E0016C-6025-4337-948F-0B655A18552B}

Changing this to the x86 dll doesn't help tho nor does making a copy in C:\Program Files (x86)\ directory.

Any thoughts on getting it to work - ie - in the native XYplorer 32 bit context menu, not the 64 bit context menu?

Which context menu entries don't appear in XY (without using the 64-bit context menu)?

Attached "Process in PDF Tools" is missing in the 32 bit menu.

I don't even get that one in Windows Explorer (while "Open with PDF-XChange Editor" does exist) so apart from trying to register the 32-bit dll via regsvr32 (via command prompt) I can't say anything more...

Oh, to get the PDF Tools stuff, you have to have PDF Tools installed.

Thank you so much! This suggestion actually worked. I now get the PDF Tools context menu in XYPlorer's 32 bit menu.

Open cmd as Administrator
cd c:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF Tools
regsvr32 PDFXToolsShellMenu.x86.dll
