Why it was created

This hot fix adds the ability to use an external (system default) PDF viewer instead of the build-in PDF viewer of the Solatech Window Covering Software. We have noticed, on a few systems, an intermittent incompatibility with the built-in PDF viewer tool which prevents PDF's from being viewed at all. Switching to an external viewer will allow previews and general reports to be viewed although editing tools may not be available.


How to use this hot fix

  1. Once installed:
  2. Open Application Settings.
  3. Select the Other page.
  4. Check the box Use an external PDF viewer.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Preview reports as you normally would.


Note: Settings on the Other page are now user-specific.
