Hello MedBooster, For now there is still no way to get keyboard shortcuts for the custom JS code added functions. Please do let us know if we can help with this topic in any from the PDF-XChange side :) Kind regards, Stefan Yes ↑ A way to preview the color in Mathew's tool. – If that's what you mea...

MedBooster

I meant folder as in group in the stamp tool palette.

So if I understand correctly you have to move 1 at a time. Or actually you can't move them, it's more like copying over and then deleting the original.

MedBooster

Hello Mathew,
no, even in the same session, it still loads Dec before HeX, but maybe it depends on whether you start the process or not.

MedBooster

Thank you. Btw. I don't think you responded to my question of whether it would be possible to display the "current color"-color in the text of the color code itself (in RGB or HeX) also... I assume there is a reason for this, but maybe in the future when you have time you could make the cu...

MedBooster

Ok, thanks for the instructions.

By the way, is it still not possible to combine dynamic and non-dynamic stamps in the same folder? If I remember correctly you used to not be able to do that.

MedBooster

Since we're asking questions...
all these scripts only affect comments(annotations) –
JavaScript is not able to affect base content in PDF-XCE, is that right

MedBooster

Wow, version 1.4 is really something I'm really liking the new edit color name function – is it correct that you can save colors in both HeX and RGB? Will it get overwritten if you save it with different names 2 times? I tried and it seems it doesn't update right away. image.png btw... is there stil...

MedBooster

If this is not the case... consider this a suggestion to allow the tool to add new fields with a website link straight away. ↑↑↑ IMO it would be better to be able to access the two separately, related to this: https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?p=178834#p178834 (Sorry for not putting it in...

MedBooster

I might be missing someone... but it would be helpful to have two tools, to either go straight to set link , or to what "advanced" leads to. Just to save some clicks

MedBooster

so how would you combine 2 folders of stamps (20+ each)

adding them to one of the folders one by one?

MedBooster

it seems you are not able to select and move multiple link/hyperlink fields at the same time, is that right?

MedBooster

image.png Is it just me or is the tool broken in the newest version (385) I used to be able to use it to place new hyperlinks, now it sometimes only works for changing existing hyperlink fields, sometimes it doesn't work at all. If this is not the case... consider this a suggestion to allow the too...

MedBooster

yes exactly, that's the setting I've enabled When I drag in from outside the base content image I am able to choose the comment, but I can not start dragging the selection with the "select comments"-tool. So somehow the hyperlink blocks the select comments tool from working (despite ctrl+L...

MedBooster

Hi Mathew how could I show the name of the tool like for the others? image.png PS it seems that your newest version is not included in the 1st thread post. Thanks for doing that for the other tools (threads)'' https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?t=42190&sid=be785536f6b942d08cfdbe47cf87b811

MedBooster

Hello, MedBooster I think you may be doing something wrong... extracting the stamps from the folder, or adding new dynamic content, should not remove anything previously in place. The process should go like this 1. close editor. 2. extract the stamp's PDF document (aka collection) from the stamps f...

MedBooster

If you have ctrl+left click enabled to open a hyperlink and you simply left click to select a typewriter comment over an image (with a hyperlink over it – so I presume the image part is irrelevant) – the typewriter is not selected. Which I think is a bug because it is enough to hover to get the link...

MedBooster

By the way, if you have 2 Stamps "files" in appdata, with perhaps 20 stamps ("pages") each... is there an easy way to combine these so they appear in the same group without having to add each one individually? If you add from file and there are multiple pages, will then each page...

MedBooster

perhaps it would be easier to use another PDF-editor to edit the stamps in the "Stamps" %appdata% folder directly, as you can not edit it in that folder in PDF-XCE itself. edit: no sadly it seems that you can't simply change a dynamic stamp in the Stamps folder itself. What do you mean by ...

MedBooster

Yes KD952, you answered my questions well, thank you. By the way... I tried adding my dynamic stamp from my "Stamps" (appdata) folder to another folder, but then it loses it's dynamic properties.... It's really weird... the process of creating dynamic stamps is so difficult! I guess I have...

MedBooster

By the way Mathew, please feel free to share the relevant script – in which this ink dot annotation mechanism is used. Perhaps it is for the hatch tool?

MedBooster

It just happened again , seemingly because PDF-XCE crashed (I tried waiting till the program would "respond", but it didn't), and when I reopened it the UI was reset to default (interestingly.... all my presets in the comment style palette are still there) The reason it crashed was that I ...

MedBooster

Have you fixed this yet?

MedBooster

+1

I've also struggled with this.

MedBooster

if only this were a setting you could set with the oval tool. Basically making it round on the edges. Or the rectangle tool. If you do this and save it as default, will the corners be round by default?

MedBooster

oh, and I agree: If this were a built-in tool, it would have access to the color picker, and be able to show a color square on the dialog box. As far as I know, there's no way to put images or colors on the dialog boxes that we can generate with javascript. Here's my wish: That this tool were built...

MedBooster

That's great because as far as I know the "replace fonts" function only affects base content and not annotations (it seems)

MedBooster

How about allowing expansion/collapsing of selected bookmark groups pressing Ctrl+Enter This suggestion would also apply to other group menus/folders like for "comments" for example. As previously discussed... this wouldn't be an issue if you could set show/hide collapse/Expand antagonist ...

MedBooster

btw. maybe you should add a transparent option for fill color.

.... or an option to only change the color of white textboxes:

(with the accessibility override colors function)

MedBooster

I'm regularly using the shortcut of increasing and decreasing font size, and I am sure I and many others would appreciate a shortcut to do the same for "width" for shapes.

MedBooster

Edit batch-changing the font of selected comments would also be very useful

we've discussed it a bit here in this other thread:
viewtopic.php?t=40280&hilit=change+font

MedBooster

Have you by any change made a tool that changes the font of all selected objects in a similar way? I can't tell what the best way to do that would be . edit: by the way does the script only change the stroke color, of for example rectangles? Is it possible to make it only change the stroke/fill colo...

MedBooster

It just happened today again on version 385. a few day s after updating. The trigger was simply restarting my PC (even though I think I had closed PDF-XCE properly and saved all documents.

MedBooster

Hi, MedBooster you actually need to add the new page using Add New: image.png Select an existing collection or make a new one: image(1).png And the "page" will be added to the PDF in the Stamps folder. As I understand it there are some special flags need to be set so simply adding pages t...

MedBooster

and I was also wondering if... since it seems to not be possible to drag and reorder or enable alphabetic ordering of stamps, can you reorder the order in the stamp panel by reordering the pages of the .pdf file under stamps in the appdata folder? ps. about dynamic and non-dynamic stamps – is it pos...

MedBooster

hmm.... I thought moving one stamp to another was as simple as adding another page to a stamp group pdf document, I guess not.... Or am I wrong? If I would want to add this blue timestamp to a group with 3 other stamps .... can I not just import this pdf page into the pdf document with the 3 other s...

MedBooster

This actually seems to be an issue similar to that of our previously discussed highlighter issue (not being able to move highlighted text with the base content)

It also seems you can not move form fields together with shapes or comment text elements, is that right?

MedBooster

Ok I got it thanks, I just that to use the select field function, as the select comment function would only select the text field itself and not the whole form text box.

Weirdly enough the select all tool also can't select form text boxes.

MedBooster

image.png Is it not possible to remove the black border line or change the font color of form fields? how would I create a stamp with Javascript then.... for dates for example. In that case I guess my other post about copying over text properties from comments to form fields doesn't make too much s...

MedBooster

Copy over format / properties from one text type to another is this possible? I've tried and it seems it is possible with text comment types such as typewriter and textboxes However... I suggest that you enable the option of copying over the text properties of these comment text types to form elemen...

MedBooster

Hello, MedBooster Read out loud is itself a tool, using other tools while it is running will "disable" the other tool in use. I will pass this suggestion along and see if we can implement a different handling for this scenario, since the base content is being read, and commenting will not...

MedBooster

Hello, MedBooster If you open the Stamps palette, and click "options" we have since added an option to place stamps with the "last used" size. image.png By default this is enabled, and allows you to take any stamp, press and drag to resize during placement, and then all future &...

MedBooster

Just downloaded the new version (285) and I am sad to see that adding a comment still stops the read out loud tool... is there a reason for it at all? It seems to be more of a bug to me.

MedBooster

It seems there now is a tool.

MedBooster

Has this changed? Did you find any solution?
As of now there seems to not be any fixed size to stamps anymore, it rather depends on your last chosen size. I think.... are you still able to set default/fixed sizes of stamps?

MedBooster

Hello MedBooster, Stamps are stored in stamp collections - and each collection had it's own separate file. You can share the files even if the collection is only one dynamic stamp, and this KB article explains the steps: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgebase/175-How-do-I-copy-a-custom-Stamps-Pa...
