Does upgrade retain settings?

[sgaughan]

Can I uninstall PrettyPDF and install the most recent version without loosing my settings?

No sorry, you can't 

A manual work-around is to use your ftp program to save the following:

• .../administrator/components/com_jreprettypdf/jre_config.php file
• .../administrator/components/com_jreprettypdf/assets directory

Then uninstall PrettyPDF, install the new version and:

• overwrite the assets directory with the old content
• download the new jre_config.php (make backup) and edit the file:
  - Overwrite the beginning with the contents of the old jre_config.php as all new entries are added at the end of the config file.
  - Now upload the new jre_config.php file back to your site.

This should result in a working PrettyPDF with the old settings retained!
