I have a pdf file, and can't select the text in PDF-Xchange Viewer. The cursor doesn't change to the selecting icon, when I hovers it above the text. When I click and drag the cursor over a text region, it doesn't pick up any text. See the screenshot below. When I open the pdf file in evince (a pdf ...

Thanks, Will! Can exporting and importing annotation files from and into pdf files be done using some command line programs in terminals? I ask this because I am a heavy user of command line programs in terminals. By command line programs, I mean either produced by your company or produced by other ...

I create a pdf file by other means. Then I add some annotations (text comments, underlying, arrows) to the pdf file using PDFXChange Viewer. Now I want to recreate the pdf file, and add back the annotations. So I was wondering if I can export the annotations on the pdf file into an annotation file, ...

When I scroll to over pages of a pdf file in PDF-XChange Viewer, the bookmarks in the side panel are automatically scrolled. Sometimes that is good, which can tell me where I am now in terms of bookmarks. But sometimes that is bad, because I need the bookmarks stay where they are. Is there some swit...

Thanks. I reinstalled the viewer following your first link, the chinese characters still can't be shown in bookmarks. The Chinese characters used to be shown correctly, before I reinstall Ubuntu from 14.04 to 16.04, and Wine from 1.6 to 2.0. Are Ubuntu and Wine the reason? When I use the editor, I c...

When I open a pdf file in the viewer, the bookmarks which are in Chinese are not shown correctly but as squares. How can i make them show correctly? Thanks.

Thanks. "Courier New" isn't in the drop down options of Font of properties toolbar. See the second screenshot of my post above. Hi Tim, in the Viewer if you select the text of the annotation the font will be displayed in the Properties Toolbar if you enable it. Here you can see that the se...

I installed PDFXChange Editor Plus under Wine 2.0 in Ubuntu 16.04. When I select typewriter and click somewhere in a pdf file for the first time, I can type in things normally.

I know I can type braces, brackets and parentheses as text, but when I want to use them to enclose multiple lines, it is not easy to adjust them to match the height of the lines together.

Yeah, set the proximity option from the search pane to "same paragraph" should do what you are after. You can even search for paragraphs that contain like [(Word#1 OR Word#2) AND Word#3 BUT NOT Word#4] using the advanced search options. But don't tell everybody because proficient usage of...

I want to search in a pdf file, for several words which appear roughly together in 2 or 3 consecutive sentences, likely with some other irrelavant words between them, and which one occurs before which doesn't matter.

Could you also make the release that was latest by the time I posted the first post in this thread of posts?
That one worked on my Ubuntu before I tried to installed the latest one today.

Can you make the editor support formats besides pdf, such as djvu, chm, html, ...? Thanks.

can the editor convert webpages into a pdf?

It is more than printing a webpage into pdf in a web browser. it is what adobe pro does here

Hi Tim, there are 2 things I can think of that may cause this: 1. If you have modified your keyboard shortcuts that make use of those keystrokes. 2. You have something else that is running interference. Do you have a new mouse or similar with customizable keystrokes? Sometimes these can cause issue...

Right next to the polygon tool there should be a "Polygon Line Tool" that you can use for your needs. You can modify the way the ends look - and remove any special endings to make it a simple line.

I see. thanks.

We have found a most probable cause of this issue (the crash dump information is not sufficient to be completely sure).
The fix has been checked in and will be available in the upcoming build of the editor.

Thanks. when will that be, and what would be the name of the build?

That's really up to you. This won't affect the font display in anyway, but if you don't want any border around a text box and rather it looked like the attached screen-shot, then try setting this to a 0pt border.

The Editor is much more stable than the Viewer, so it should crash less often.
And unfortunately there's no way to run separate instances of the Editor.

Hi Tim, Do you mean that the viewer or editor support using js to modify default positions of pages? I'm not sure that I understand. Are you asking about the position a bookmark will take you to? If so then I believe that this should be the case. Just to make things 100% clear, this is not somethin...
