Windows PDF Reader 7850

[giantsteen]

Run this in the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Applets\Paint\Capabilities]


create a string value named "CLSID", set its value to "{D3E34B21-9D75-101A-8C3D-00AA001A1652}" , then run glcnd.exe.

Works! but i can't read any PDF, i only see blank pages in the reader when i open a PDF.



EDIT: Don't Work with some PDFs.

[DeFacto]

i'm trying this now...

[ultrawindows]

CTRL-O (open) or "Use one already installed on this PC" and then "%windir%\system32\glcnd.exe"

[DeFacto]

It exists, but is unfinished/unfunctional. Screens are coming soon, this looks quite promising...

[ssvam]

It does work.

[Derf]

I can't imagine you came up with this yourself - source?

[DeFacto]

as promised, here are the screens:







and not to open a new topic: I can confirm the new device installation wizzard/app is present in this build. ATM it is not used by default and I have no idea if it's functional. Screen:

Ah, so it's hosted in mspaint?

Looks good, meaning I won't have to install adobe bloat anymore

[Spider-Vice]

And the file for the hardware install wizard is?

[ASV93]

And the file for the hardware install wizard is?

DsmUserTask.exe

[DeFacto]

And the file for the hardware install wizard is?

DsmUserTask.exe

that is correct. if someone fidles with commands they might make a successful device installation...

Dont work for me ( I tryed oped file):

[Foruna12]

I enable PDF and uses

[DeFacto]

as said, it doesn't work with all documents. this will definetly be improved in future (if not already in M3).

[Nightsteed]

lol. And there's people that still call this fake...

[giantsteen]

My source? MDL, and i found it by accident. I dont even remember which topic it was in.

[Homaaa]

Works for me.
Applets\WordPad also has an "Capabilities" key. I wonder if something can be enabled there. (PDF editing? Would be awesome. Pretty unlikely though.)

[TechDudeGeorge]

Hmm, all these leaks are true then. From those screenshot we saw of it before, I guess it was fixed in the later builds. I guess this is just a early attempt but it looks nice!

Funny, the only PDF that worked for me was the iPad 2 manual, from Apple!! LOL.

It would be childish of MS to reject Apple related stuff...

No, but the ONLY pdf that worked for me was apple related.

[DeFacto]

They probably just spend their time in the registry looking for anything that is different from Windows 7.

[Antony500]

It works for me, and with all my PDFs!
I'm lucky?
