? PDF file format not shown in XaraPro15 dropdown list for OPEN and IMPORT. Windows 7

have you done the run program as administrator thing ? [right click and select, once only]

Hi,

If the PDF export option isn't appearing in the list it means the PDF filter hasn't been registered, usually because Xara doesn't have permissions to do so.

First thing to try is as handrawn suggested - close the program if it is open and right-click the program shortcut > Run as Administrator.

If that doesn't work, you can try manually registering the filter by going to start > type "CMD", then right-click the command prompt program > Run as Administrator.

Type:

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Xara\Xara Designer Pro X\15\Filters\ENG\PDFXFilter\PDFXFilter.dll"

and press enter. You should get a confirmation that the filter has been registered. If you are using the 32 bit version or installed to a different location you'll need to adjust the path appropriately.

Please let me know if you get any problems.

Thanks
Rob

But thanks for the clarification.
