It works flawlessly under X. The same installation that I described some posts before, I didn't even reinstall.

I think I should get used to blaming Wayland more often

.

Thanks for helping me out guys, as always you're awesome!

ArchStanton

Ok, thanks

ArchStanton

Ok, so, after having removed the old wine installation and the ~/.wine32 directory I ran dnf config-manager --add-repo https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/30/winehq.repo dnf install winehq-stable Now 'wine --version' returns 'wine-4.0.1'. I ran wine msiexec /i ~/Downloads/EditorV8.x64.msi Note ...

ArchStanton

Thanks Paul, I tried the 64 bit msi installer starting it from "Wine File" (I'm now on Wine 4.9, from Fedora's default repos), I launched PDFXE at the end of the installation but it still freezed my system. From a TTY console (which took a while to start but was responsive afterwards) I sa...

ArchStanton

Hi Paul, sorry for the late reply. I've always used the command line to launch PDFXE, but I would be surprised if that made a difference. As I said I did the latest tests with both a 32 bit environment the way Roman taught me to do – which worked well with v. 6 on Ubuntu 18.04 – and leaving Wine do ...

Hi Will, I've tested the latest version, only the portable release, both in a Wine 32 bit environment ('WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winecfg'...) and in a "normal" environment (I don't know exactly what Wine does by default, I just ran 'WINEPREFIX=~/.winetmp winecfg' prior to launch...

Hello, I'm having an issue when I try to save a file with PDFXEdit in Fedora 30, Wine 4.0.1 and 4.7 (tested both: 4.0 is wine-stable from Wine's repo, 4.7 is from Fedora's repo), PDFXEdit 6.0.322.7. When I try to save a file I get "Cannot save …. An error occurred while saving the document to t...

ArchStanton

Thanks Will, for the time being I'll just wait. If it gets fixed with an update I'll report back. Have a nice day, bye.

I tried my home wi-fi (Fastweb), and using my phone as hotspot (TIM). These are italian ISPs.

Edit: Tested also on Eduroam. With FF in normal mode I'm always redirected to the home page from the links above.

None of that.

ArchStanton

I don't know what it is. I don't have firewalls or other things that may interfere (at least not that I know of). I've tried FF in safe mode and it behaves like in normal mode: http://www.docu-track.co.uk/builds/5.5.316.1/PDFXEdit5_Portable.zip and http://www.docu-track.co.uk/builds/5.5.314.0/PDFXEd...

ArchStanton

Thank you for your help. Wish him good holidays

ArchStanton

Keep me updated please

ArchStanton

I'm on Firefox 60.0.2, my OS is Ubuntu 18.04. I can't imagine why but the links work on Firefox's private mode, but they keep redirecting me to https://www.pdf-xchange.com/ in "normal mode". I tried deleting the cookies from forum.tracker-software.com but it didn't do anything. I don't kno...

ArchStanton

Hello, I wanted to download PDF XChange Editor v. 5.5.316.1 Portable, but the link [1] in the builds archive is broken (as are others regarding older versions). Could you please fix it or upload the file here? If you have them at hand, it would be great if I could get my hands on all the types of in...

ArchStanton

Hello, I've switched to Ubuntu 18.04 and I'm reinstalling Wine and PDFXEdit. I wondered if there's some components that need to be installed through winetricks for PDFXEdit to work.

ArchStanton

I've deleted the .wine32 directory, with no wine process in sight I've issued the same three commands as the last time (with XE v7.0.324 this time), but it still gets stuck with sticky notes. I've tried making and using a ".wine33" directory and neither that worked. If it's of any use, my ...

Yes.

How can I do that? Thanks for helping me out.

ArchStanton

I've tried the .msi 32bit: ran WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winecfg WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 wine msiexec /i EditorV7.x86.msi WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 wine .wine32/drive_c/Program\ Files/Tracker\ Software/PDF\ Editor/PDFXEdit.exe tested it quickly and it worked. The portable version didn't work inste...

ArchStanton

Thanks, I'll test it and report back in a few days.

ArchStanton

I tried again with the default settings right after a clean wine install. It keeps crashing when I use sticky notes. May I ask what your wine setup is like? (WINEARCH, winecfg settings... Also, do I need Mono or other packages?)

ArchStanton

Hello, sorry for the late answer. I had to reinstall Ubuntu and upgraded to 17.10. I've installed v. 7.0.323.2 successfully with Wine 2.0.2 from the msi 64b, and tried the portable version too. It crashes often when I add sticky notes, but I'm using settings imported from a file I made with v6. Can ...

ArchStanton

Thanks. It's not a big issue then, I can use v6 until I upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 next year. You're the best. Have an happy 2018 :-)

ArchStanton

Hello, I know XChange Editor isn't supposed to run on Linux but until version 6 it worked quite good with Wine. With the latest version I have some troubles: • with the .exe installer it exits with an error just after clicking on "Install" in the first dialog. The error code is "0x800...

ArchStanton

Sure, no problem. Thanks and cheers to you (-:

ArchStanton

It's a 30MB book that I'm saving locally with the keyboard shortcut. It takes 5-10 seconds to save.

Here it is the screenshot

As you can see it's running on Wine (v 1.8 on Ubuntu 16.04).

ArchStanton

Hello, this is just a suggestion: remove the "Saving document" dialog and show the progress bar in the lower toolbar. I always drag the dialog away because it clutters the "reading zone".

Thanks,
bye

ArchStanton

Thank you (-:

ArchStanton

Nope, "douple tap" doesn't work on Windows neither. I'll give you some details: Linux test: Ubuntu 16.04 Wine 1.8 Editor v. 6.0.319.0 Portable (tried both versions with OCR and not) Windows test Windows 10 Editor 6.0.319.0 Portable and 64bit msi. What I used to have is 'Select text tool' b...

ArchStanton

I'll have a look as soon as I can put my hands on a Windows box, tomorrow at the latest. Thank you for your patience.

ArchStanton

Hello, I've just upgraded from 5.5.313.1 to the latest version. Being on Linux + wine, I'm glad to see all the bugs of the older versions are gone. One thing has changed in worse imo: I cannot bind two commands to the same key combination anymore. I used to do this to highlight with different colour...

ArchStanton

I still have to write down on paper some notes, sometimes, because there's maths in them that wouldn't be readable in a plain text note in the pdf. If I could be able to write notes or "stamp-like" text with proper maths (via MathJax, maybe?) directly in a pdf, I could store every bit of k...

ArchStanton

Works like a charm. Thanks!

ArchStanton

Take it easy and enjoy your weekend, there's no hurry!

ArchStanton

Thank you very much! I attach an example and my settings. Basically, I highlight important things in a bright colour and less important parts in a lighter colour. But sometimes I need to change them, say, from bright/light blue to bright/light orange. For the notes, I use different color and shapes ...

ArchStanton

I'd like to have the possibility to change the style of every item that uses a certain palette style after having used them. For example, change the colour of every highlight with subject (as defined in the styles palette) "important". Also, when change the default properties and apply the...

ArchStanton

Hi, thanks. Viewer keeps the formatting of the text inside the sticky notes, but it doesn't show the more colors window. Edit: I've tried using the portable version of Editor (which I couldn't make work 2 weeks ago, don't know why...). The more colors windows shows up, but the formatting is not reme...

ArchStanton

I use Wine 1.6.2 on Ubuntu 14.04. XC Editor is v.5.5.315.0 64bit. I'm aware that by using Wine I could experience some issues I wouldn't encounter on Windows, I'm asking anyway because I can't check on Windows. I have two issues: 1) I can't open the "More colors" window. Tried from the col...

ArchStanton

It worked! Thank you, you're the best!

Now I'll be using Editor again, but for the record I meant keyboard shortcuts. I guess you can't but whatever, they both are terrific pieces of software.

ArchStanton

Hi, is it possible to assign shortcuts to the styles defined in the comment styles palette? I used to do it in Editor but I had to switch to Viewer because on Wine (v. 1.7.44 on Lubuntu 15.04, both Editor and Viewer are the last version) the colours in Editor are too bright while Viewer outputs them...

ArchStanton

Thank you! I had closed the properties toolbar because much too space is already taken up by the middle toolbar... Yeah, having the Text properties entry in the context menu would be handier, as it would be not having the name of the tool on the toolbar, to make it smaller and less clogged. Just a c...

ArchStanton

Ok, I didn't proceed beyond clicking on Edit Content Tool because the dialog freaked me out but now I see what you were suggesting. It's not as easy as with viewer though as some text blocks include different typefaces so within a textbook I always get a "Font: Mixed", while e.g. on a LaTe...

ArchStanton

Well I've tried to do it: I've selected some text and shift+clicked over the selection, nothing happened, not even with the properties pane or bar open. I've also tried on a word without selecting it, left, right click... but nothing.

ArchStanton

Thank you for the answer. It's not a big deal, the annotation issue I mean, not being able to run Editor on my next computer would...

ArchStanton

Thank you for the answer but I don't have a Pro license.

ArchStanton

No apologies needed. Thank you for taking into account my feedback.

ArchStanton

In XChange Viewer there is a nifty tool that allows to see in which typeface the selected text is set (right click > Text properties. Different from the list of the embedded fonts). I haven't found it in Editor, is it somewhere else or just not implemented?

ArchStanton

As in the title. I don't want annotations to follow me while I'm scrolling on a page. Is it possible? Congrats to Tracker anyway, great software. I'm going to move to Ubuntu and it seems that Editor runs flawlessly on Wine so to get used to it I've already made the switch from Reader, on Windows. I ...
