Manage the external applications

You can configure which external applications can be used by the users of the application. The external applications will appear in the 'Tools' menu of the application. The user can select an external application to change the selected pages. When the user closes the external application, the application will import the updated pages into the document again.

You can add a maximum of ten external applications.

1. Click [Add] to add an external application.

2. Define the external application name.

3. You can call the external application from the command line. To be able to, you have to:

   • Use the [Application file:] option to define the path to and the name of the executable file of the external application.

     You can use the Browse ('...') button to browse to the correct path and file name.

   • [Command arguments:]

     You must always define '/n' as command argument when the external application is Adobe Acrobat. Define '/n' to be able to close Adobe Acrobat as external application.

4. Use the [Application type:] option to define if the external application can handle a [Single-page] or [Multi-page] input.

   If an external application is a single-page application, the application can only be started if a single page is selected.

5. [Target folder:].

   This is the output folder where the external application stores the results of the actions within that application. The results will be imported from the target folder into the application again.

   You cannot use UNC paths here.

6. Click [OK].
