--- Comment #10 from mcalison@web.de 2012-09-02 06:25:11 CDT --- Hi folks,
there's a workaround to this problem in the AppDB [1] which I want to post here for those like me, who looked at the bugtracker for any solutions.
Using the PDF-X-Change Installers and (partially) overwriting the installed files in %HOME/.wine/.../%INSTALL_DIR with the files from the portable version worked for me. I only tested if it solves the "save" problem and it did, so I made not an extensive research on possible side-effects.
Note: If you already changed some settings in the installed version, you might not want to copy 'Settings.dat' from the portable version.
