Assigning Hot Keys
Under Advanced options when the program was installed there is an option to install Hot Keys. This installs the program autohotkey.exe which is in the public domain. Information about autohotkey can be found here http://www.autohotkey.com/.
To edit the hotkeys that will activate PDF Filer just modify the script file C:\Program Files\edocfile\PDF Filer\autohotkey\pdffiler.ahk with your own prefernces and save it in the startup folder.
The script contains instructions on how to modify it in the comments section of the file.
The path and file names are already in the script file to scan a file or file an open PDF using a given job, just edit the job name to the one that is to be activated when the hot key is pressed. The hot key itself can also be edited so that any key combination can be used.
Example:
To open google.com add a line to the script as shown below.
#space::Run www.google.com
If the "space" is changed to "g" it will be run when the windows key and "g" are pressed.
