Subject: Clearing e-mail addresses from Address Book?

I like the ability to create & email PDFs from PDF reDirect.  The programme has the ability to remember past used e-mail addresses:
"PDF reDirect Pro will remember the addresses that you have used in the past. Simply click on the little address book icon to bring up a dialog box where you can point-and-click to select addressees."
How does one remove e-mail addresses from the Address Book; the list in my Address Book is either getting a bit long, or contains old email addresses. Is there any way to clear this list / where is it stored / I couldn't find any functionality to edit the list (am I missing something obvious?)
TIA

Hi,

   You are not missing anything obvious. The list is so that you can quickly recover frequently used e-mail addresses.

   You can edit manually the settings file if you want to change the order or delete entries. I would recommend you make a backup of the file just in case a change you make causes the list to be reset to empty.

   The settings file is located here:

  • Windows XP
    • C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\PDF reDirect\Prefs_v2.ini
  • Windows Vista or Windows 7
    • C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\PDF reDirect\Prefs_v2.ini

    Please note: replace "USERNAME" with your own Windows login name.

Cheers!

Excellent. Thank you. Sorted (I don't mind editing .INI files, and I took a backup); I also changed the numbering to retain the sequence e.g. MailTO_02=, MailTO_03= etc.
Thanks. V. helpful.
I also trawled the TEMP sub-folder: lots of JPG thumbnails of recently created PDF pages: now that could the _very_ useful in certain circs!
