Ah, yes. Fill color and stroke color were both set to white. So of course I couldn't see the border. Changing it to black creaated the border I was looking for.

Thank you very much.

Lighthouse_Foundation

I have a text box in a document and there are border style and width options under Properties. But there is no border around my box regardless. I looked through the FAQs and the online manual, but I didn't see how to create a visible border around a text box.

I am trying to extract a page from a document but that feature is greyed out.

Is this because the document is locked?

If so, how do I unlock it? It was sent to me from outside our organization.

I scanned a page that measures 6¼ inches by 9¼ inches. Before printing I want to enlarge the image to be a standard 8½ X 11 page. So I need to enlarge the image while keeping proportions, even if the final image is not exactly 8½ X 11. How do I do this?

Thanks to a prompt and helpful customer service representative at Tracker who replied to a private email, the solution was quite simple. So for the benefit of anybody else who encounters this problem, here's the solution: Edit tool, then click on a blank area (away from text and images) to select th...

I have a document with a blue background that I want to print. I would like to remove the blue background but when I go to Document>Background>Remove All, nothing happens. How do I get rid of the blue background and replace it with normal white?

Lighthouse_Foundation

Yes rakunavi, that is what I was trying to do. I just had to set Pages per Sheet as Custom and make it 1 by 10 so that all 10 pages result in one page and then one sheet when exported to Excel.

Lighthouse_Foundation

Thanks but I must not have explained what I want correctly. I don't have multiple files that I want to combine. I have multiple pages of one PDF file. 10 pages.jpg So when I export the file to Excel, it creates a tab for every page. 10 sheets.jpg What I'm trying to do is remove the page breaks, if p...

I looked through previous questions but didn't see exactly what I want. I have a large, 10-page PDF file that I will ultimately export to Excel. When I export it as it, of course PDF-XChange Editor creates 10 Excel sheets. But I want all PDF pages on one Excel sheet. So in order to do that I'll need...

Lighthouse_Foundation

Thank you again. One would think that after having used PDF-XChange Editor lo these many years, that I would remember this,

Lighthouse_Foundation

I did something wrong and now I have this toolbar.

This is not my normal toobar and I don't want this one. How do I get my old toolbar back?

Lighthouse_Foundation

Thank you so much. That's exactly what I needed to know.

Lighthouse_Foundation

I'm trying to create a text box that is opaque but I can only make one that is transparent. I looked through the settings but I didn't find anything helpful. I want to cover up what is behind it. How do I do this?

Lighthouse_Foundation

OK, I'll need to find a document that I have this problem with. Thank you in advance for your help. In the meantime I can create a text box and insert text which works the same for me.

Lighthouse_Foundation

I like the Typewriter feature and at one time I was using it correctly. But now I'm doing something wrong. I write a note on a PDF document using Typewriter such as the following note in red. Screenshot 2021-10-03 161808.jpg [attachment=0] But as soon as I click Save the note disappears. What am I d...

Lighthouse_Foundation

Thanks for the replies. Yes, using the rectangle tool allows me to highlight.

Lighthouse_Foundation

If I create text using the Typewriter feature I can select it, but when I click the Highlight button the selection disappears.

Lighthouse_Foundation

Ah, yes. It was simply the border width. Thank you so much!

Lighthouse_Foundation

I deleted that subkey but I don't see a change in the Typewriter box size. It still seems to be much too large. Typewriter feature screenshot 6-14-2021.jpg The text box covers up existing text that it didn't used to cover. Typewriter feature screenshot2.jpg I used to be able to fit typewritten comme...

Lighthouse_Foundation

I frequently use the Typewriter feature and I must have changed the settings because now the box that it creates is much larger. It didn't do this before.

This only makes a difference when the box is covering existing text on the PDF document.

Lighthouse_Foundation

Hmmm. So it is. Thanks for the observation.

Lighthouse_Foundation

I am going to revive this thread because I am having the same problem as the OP, I am unable to enter text into the interactive form fields of a PDF document. Under Highlight Form Fields , All Fields is selected. Hand Tool Exclusive Mode is turned off (false) and Select Text/Images is turned on (tru...

Lighthouse_Foundation

Once again Tracker Software excellent customer support provided the answer. Many thanks.

Lighthouse_Foundation

Thank you for your prompt reply. I can't double click because there is no mouse attached. When I press and hold I see: Capture1.JPG Is there a way to remove the button from there? As far as scrolling with my index finger, yes, Touch UI is enabled. I created a (very poorly done) video showing what ha...

I had to reformat my Lenovo tablet PC running Windows 10 and re-install PDF Xchange Editor. All settings reverted to default. Previously I configured PDF Xchange Editor so that only the menu bar was showing. This is all I need since the only thing I read on it are PDF files. I don't want the buttons...

Changing the accuracy to medium did it! Thank you so much.

I scanned and saved a check. I am trying to select text in order to highlight it. Normally when I run the OCR feature on a document it allows me to then use the text select feature. But for some reason all I can do is make a box around the text that I am trying to select. check from CC.JPG I deselec...

Thank you for the information.

I've never had this before. Our accountant sent me a file with a lock on it.

: lock on PDF doc.jpg (20.68 KiB) Viewed 2376 times

Am I unable to unlock it? What I want to do is run OCR on the document, not make any changes. Or is it locked purposely so that I can only view it?

Using PDF-XChange Editor Plus Version 8.0 build 336.0. I have to print a document on letterhead, but the first line of the document is too high and prints over my letterhead. I need to add an inch to the top margin of my PDF document without changing any other characteristics. I went to Document>Mor...

Lighthouse_Foundation

Yes, that's it. Thank you so much. This is a very helpful feature for my purposes. I renewed my subscription for another year of this excellent product.

Lighthouse_Foundation

Thank you, but where is the page number displayed?

Do I have the settings correct?

Lighthouse_Foundation

This may have been asked before. Often a document will have page numbers but there are introductory pages or blank pages inserted in an insurance policy for example. So the page numbers printed on the document itself are incorrect. Right now the only way to see the page number is to go to Print,>Cur...

I am still not able to use the scroll feature. See attached video. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. https://youtu.be/ajwEyP8KRfI

Lighthouse_Foundation

Thank you for your reply. I upgraded to version 8 but I think my problem is lack of horsepower. This tablet is limping along with 2GB of memory and a 1.80 GHz processor. I am guessing that scrolling through that many pages requires more resources than this tablet can provide. It's not something I fr...

I use PDF-Xchange Editor version 7.0 on a Lenovo ThinkPad tablet PC. If I'm reading a very large document and I want to scroll quickly through dozens or even hundreds of pages, I thought I could grab that square along the righthand side scroll bar and move it up and down. scroll.PNG But no matter wh...

Lighthouse_Foundation

Ah, yes. Thank you.

Lighthouse_Foundation

This should be a very simple procedure. I rotate a PDF file, use Save As and give it a different name from the original. But when I open it, it is not rotated. What am I doing wrong?

Lighthouse_Foundation

Thank you. Yes, I do have a PDF-Xchange Editor Plus license, so I'll play around wit the form creation function and figure out how it works.

Lighthouse_Foundation

I'm using PDF-Xchange Editor Plus version 7.0 with Windows 10. My insurance agent emailed me a PDF questionnaire with check boxes. I'm trying to figure out how to put a checkmark or an X in the boxes as I have done with other PDF documents, such as those from the IRS. Is this a limitation of the que...

Lighthouse_Foundation

Stefan, Yes, my settings are identical but I have figured out the problem. Single tapping the screen works fine when I open the file and leave it the original size. But the letters are too small to read that way, so I expand the image on my screen. Curiously, double tapping still works with the imag...

Lighthouse_Foundation

I appreciate the help and suggestion. I uninstalled and reinstalled PDF - XChange Editor Plus version 7.0 build 327.0 and have the same results in full screen mode: two taps turns back a page and one tap does nothing. In fact I can't even advance pages by swiping. Maybe it's a limitation of my Lenov...

Lighthouse_Foundation

Well, indeed the double tap turns back a page in full screen mode, but the single tap does nothing. At least that's the case with my Lenovo ThinkPad 2 tablet PC.

Lighthouse_Foundation

Thank you. I am the only user of both devices. I attempted to install PDF-XChange Editor Plus on my tablet PC and I get the prompt to enter my serial number. I have the .xcvault file, but no serial number. How do I find it?

Lighthouse_Foundation

With the paid version, can I install it on two devices? I already have PDF-XChange Editor Plus on my laptop, but I would like to install it on my tablet PC as well. Do I need to purchase a separate license?
