Re: Pdf Xchange Website

I think I have realised why it's working now and wasn't the other day. The website uses Cloudflare or some other CDN. I suspect that the CDN being used the other day uses the older cipher and the CDN that my pc is using today supports the newer ciphers. I recall having a similar issue a few years ba...

Re: Pdf Xchange Website

Thank you for your prompt response. It is not a pressing problem. I just wanted to make you aware of the issue. Oddly enough the website seems to be working perfectly today - even with that cipher disabled. Either somebody has already fixed the problem before I had a chance to report it, or there wa...

Pdf Xchange Website

I am not sure if this is the correct forum for this issue. I have been testing disabling insecure and obsolete cipher suites in Firefox. 99% of the websites work perfectly with ciphersuites that support perfect forward secrecy and strong ciphers. pdf-xchange.com website however seems to require this...

Re: Making Pdf's a safe email attachment to open

I don't use group policies to push user and computer settings. The reason being that I work with multiple clients. So I have logon and startup scripts that I created nearly 20 years ago using a programming language called kixtart, which was designed explicitly for logon and startup scripting use. As...

Making Pdf's a safe email attachment to open

Whilst reviewing our Cyber Security measures, I wanted to see if I can address the problem of having to allow pdf as a whitelisted attachment - because everyone uses it - with the downside that pdf's have now become the macro equivalent of word - with all the associated malware concerns.

Re: Blocking Viruses in pdf email attachments

Hi Daniel, Thank you very much for your detailed response. If the pdf already by default asks people if they want to run a javascript, then I think this solves my concern and means that Pdf Editor is protecting us from malware and viruses. Thank you. As such, I won't disable javascript. Sorry you mi...

Re: Fit to printer Margins default

Maybe I am misunderstanding you, but I am a bit confused.

Changing the setting from none to fit printer margins does not change the printer, page size. See the pic that I uploaded for the setting that I am talking about. I tried changing this now. It does not change the printer or page size.

Re: Fit to printer Margins default

Thank you. I think the more relevant question is why the default is set to none when this causes problems with some printers. Setting as fit to printer margins has caused no issues that I am aware of. So while you can request changing the default, it might be more helpful to ask what advantage there...

The problem I am referring to is that the default setting when installing the program is for none to be th...
