Add PDF Studio to applications menu on XFCE4 desktop – Debian 7

Q: How can PDF Studio be added to the applications menu on the XFCE4 desktop that is provided with Debian 7 (Wheezy)?

A: You can do so by adding a PDFStudio.desktop file to the applications folder using the instructions below.

  1. Open the terminal
  2. Go to your ~/.local/share/applications folder
  3. Using GEdit (or something similar) create a text file named “PDFstudio.desktop”
  4. Paste the following content in the text file:

[Desktop Entry]

Version=1.0

Type=Application

Categories=Office;

Name=PDF Studio 10

Comment=

Icon=/opt/pdfstudio10/.install4j/pdfstudio10.png

Exec=/opt/pdfstudio10/pdfstudio10

Path=

Terminal=false

StartupNotify=false

5. Save the file and PDF Studio should now be listed in the applications menu. If not try restarting your computer and it should be resolved.

 

 

Note: More than one Category is possible, separated by semi-colon (;), e.g.

Categories=Office;Graphics;
