How to Backup Your PDF2XL Layouts
If you find yourself needing to reinstall PDF2XL, you may be worried about losing all of your saved layouts. However, there is a simple solution to ensure that your layouts are not lost during the reinstallation process. By backing up your repository, you can easily transfer your layouts to a new computer or keep them safe in case of any unexpected issues.
Here's how to backup your PDF2XL layouts:
Step 1: Save Your Layouts to a Cloud Drive
If you are changing computers, it may be helpful to save your layouts to a cloud drive such as Dropbox or Google Drive. This will allow you to access your layouts from any computer, as long as you have an internet connection.
Step 2: Locate Your Layout Files
Your layout files are saved to the AppData folder, rather than the Documents folder.
Go to:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\CogniView\PDF2XL\Library
Step 3: Make a Copy of Your Layout Files
To backup your layouts, simply make a copy of all the layout files in this folder. You can save them to a different location on your computer, such as in your Documents or on your desktop.
Step 4: Restore Your Layouts
If you ever need to reinstall PDF2XL or if your layouts are not showing up after an update, you can easily restore them by placing a copy of the layout files back into the AppData folder.
