Bug reports / Re: PDF-ShellTools Pop-up Error

« Last post by RTT on October 17, 2025, 11:44:06 PM »

I had it partially fixed for some time but now I gave it some more work and seems to be totally fixed. I need to test it a little more to be sure.

Will it be fixed in the future?

Yes, it is a bug in the PDF preview handler, when used from the File Explorer. Sometimes the loaded PDF file fails to unload and the out-of-process server, the running PDF-ShellTools.exe I told you to end with the task manager, freezes. But an unresponsive PDF-ShellToosl.exe will not be present when cold starting Windows, so I had to ask.

You may be right - I think it only occurs when I put my PC to sleep (which I do a lot). I still think that is a bug though!

Use the Windows Task Manager to end the task named PDF-ShellTools (32 bit).
Do you get this error from a cold start or sleeping/hibernated session?

Bug reports / PDF-ShellTools Pop-up Error

« Last post by a1astair on October 11, 2025, 10:32:56 PM »

Hi,

Every time I start my Windows 11 Pro PC, I get the following error message displayed: "Access violation at address" (screenshot attached)

Normally I just click on OK and it goes away, but now every time I click on it another error message pops up.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Cheers,

Al

That tool has a "DB only" option, in order to save the changes only into the DB.

I appreciate the suggestion.  I thought of that before posting my suggestion.  I know that's possible.  I didn't want to bloat the document with custom metadata.

Thank you.

It's feasible, but will slow down the filter function with large number of files grids. I will look into it.
Meanwhile, if these calculated columns values are not dynamic, you may use the Edit Info Fields batch tool to transfer these values into a DB custom field. The tool has access to these calculated values, with the [Dn] constants.

I would like to see an additional filtering feature.

I have created two calculated columns based on a one in the database.  Currently, the calculated columns do not show up in the list under the Filter tab.

Is this a feasible feature to add in a future version of PDFE?  This would enhance my productivity.
