Yep, yep! Roger that. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

shade-cabin-hammock

Hi Dan,

Got it! Thanks!!!

shade-cabin-hammock

Hi Dan, Ah! Thanks, mate. You're right about the formatting in Comments. Thing is it seems different about also showing up in the PANE? Like this: VERSION 9 2024-04-19_13-29-25-542.png VERSION 10 2024-04-19_13-31-44-734.png Sorry, I was a bit in typo-land and I didn't make clear about the background...

shade-cabin-hammock

Hi, Back a while ago I discovered that Version 10 put a kind of background color behind text boxes as explained by so many good folks in this thread here. With a dark background in order to see my cursor in text boxes during edits I'd need to roll back to 9.x. Did that. Just noticed that in 10.x we ...

Dr. S!

GREETINGS, amigo!

Any decoration for Destinations? Either placed or Landed upon?

shade-cabin-hammock

Hi, again, Dainiel! Please as a follow up - by any chance are there styles for...bookmarks? They are similarly undecorated itseems by default. THere've been times where I've wished I could more easily spot the words that have been given the bookmark, especialy in pages heavily laden with text. Possi...

shade-cabin-hammock

BINGO! Yeah!! Real good. THANKS!!! : )))))))))))))))))))))))

Hi, Paul!

Yep, yep. Same. AND! Look at THIS:

So, seems like Wordpad formatting, which I think is PROBABLY just markup, works. So, I guess it's compose in Wordpad if one NEEDS lots of formatting. Any ideas about paste?

shade-cabin-hammock

Hi, I notice I can apply formatting inside sticknotes, like bold , italics , underline . HOPING that means there's some way to enable pasting things over with formatting , such as a kind of Rich Text support? More than anything I just need the very basics - bold, italics and unnderline. Is there any...

shade-cabin-hammock

Hi, This is something that I've been meaning to ask about for a while, but just had a chance as I'm trying to get one big file into an actionable state after some long-term research. I've been sucessfully putting links in files for ages, but, for some reason, they never have underlines? Is that by d...

Hi David,

THANKS for the reply and for following all those variables! Testing now and I'll let you know how things go. I'm still feeling confused, but I think I can work it out. : P : ))))))))))))))))))

shade-cabin-hammock

Hi Stefan, Ah! Thanks, mate. I gave that a try but I'm still getting some odd results. It seems like when I OPEN any file, things stay pretty much width-ful: that is, pages stay full sized and, clicking highlights or links, I get through the document at a very convenient readable level. Once I re-si...

Dr. R!

Ah! Yep, yep!! I see what you mean. It's a realy pity, too, as the logical numbers REALLY have their place, really in ANY kind of document, but ESPECIALLY in a really long one. THANKS for details and all the help on the board!

shade-cabin-hammock

Hi, Although my page sizes are pretty big, I scale the zoom down to let them fit in one window. Somehow, on a new file I have just created using a copy and paste from an old file, when I click on bookmarks, the pages get pulled to one side, whichever the side is with the actual bookmark. The same wi...

shade-cabin-hammock

Dr. S! Ah! Yep, yep. I've got my mouse on the left -side of my keyboard, so have to take my hand of my mouse every time I hit the escape key. Right after I posted I thought - "Key REMAP!" and found...this: To remap your Page Lock key to function as the Escape key on Windows 10, you can use...

shade-cabin-hammock

Is there any way I could program an escape key on the toolbar? So that, clicking the icon I'd be hitting escape? Other keys as well, if possible, but escape is key. (Ha! KEY!

)

shade-cabin-hammock

Hiya, Stefan! Yep, yep - that's what was so strange. There;s was no range there at all. Couldn't even click the buton for remove. I could SLELECT the existing ONE green pagination bar, but it warned me I couldn't delete the first range. I was a bit stupmped. But! I got it sorted. Here's what I did. ...

shade-cabin-hammock

GREETINGS All! Really curious issue. VERY long document - 1,200 pages. I've put sections in it via pagination ranges from time to time. Thing is, I want to get rid of all the sectional pagination now, but it does not seem to want to release them? Take a look at the attached image. It shows a regular...

shade-cabin-hammock

Got it! Yep. THANK YOU!!! : )))))))))))))))))))))))))

shade-cabin-hammock

Doctor D! Greetings, kind sir. And, I'm writing you from the far East where I'm just getting on to the subway for the last train home. Bless you, mate for so carefully taking the time to review all that. You hit each nail smack dab on the head! That's entirely the situation I'm in. One thing just oc...

shade-cabin-hammock

Hi Stefan, Ah! Yep, yep. For sure. It's just that the pages are too non-uniform. Becomes too labor-intensive. And, there's lots of technical jargon such that I can't remove numbers easily without undoing the main ideas. Although I think I could give the headings a go but, seeing as how the phrases t...

shade-cabin-hammock

Doctors W & S! :D Ah, yes. They are INDEED scanned files. Can't upload any examples. I'm really hoping to preserve at LEAST the paragraph structure of them. Willy! Yes! Wow - I didn't know I could just OPEN a file via Word and it would try to give a text-ish go. And! I forgot all about the fine...

shade-cabin-hammock

Hi, Occasionally - not really often, but occasionally I'll need to convert a PDF to Word. For me, this has ALWAYS rendered the pages as... images? Just like giant JPGs - pages and pages of them - a whole file, top to bottom of JPGs. Usually it's been a low priority, so I haven't worried about it too...

Dr. W! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BOOM!

BLESS you, mate!

Hi Radi,

Ah! Roger that. Thanks, mate.

Any way to reset just the PANES? Or, would I indeed need to do the File -> Manage Settings -> Reset Settings to get this effect?

shade-cabin-hammock

Also, please, is there some way to:

Reset all panes?

Reset all settings? (Which, I'm guessing, would bring back all Pane's default toolbars. Am I right?)

shade-cabin-hammock

Hi Radi, My build is just slightly out of date cuz I needed one wee feature that didn't get kept in the last upgrade ( https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?p=176040#p176040 ) and, thus I had to roll back to 9.2/359. Strangely, when I searched the Commands via Customize toolbars...it's not the...

shade-cabin-hammock

Hello Radi, Ah! BLESS you, mate. Somehow...I seem to have LOST the wee OPTIONS gear from my comments pane? I think in my zeal for cusomizing, I must have draged it away. comments-lost-gear.jpg I was able to get all the pop ups closed by putting the Close All Pop Ups command in another toolbar. close...

shade-cabin-hammock

Hi, I opened a file and all the highlights also have their associated pop up box open. Usually those open for me just when I double click on a highlight. I seem to recall there's a way to close them all in one go. That'd be a bit easier than going through the whole file and clicking them closed one ...

shade-cabin-hammock

Hi Stefan & Dan!

Ah! Alright - got the past edition:

Please keep me posted on if this gets a look from the devs as to if it can become optional.

Willy! Thanks for the close read on where the edition break was.

shade-cabin-hammock

Hi Again Dan, Ah! Yes, but herein lies the rub: it's the OTHER files... :P :D That is, it being a global fix, all my read-to-learn files are now also overridden. I know I can Ctrl+Shift+6 switch them, but with four files open it's not practical. Of course, I could always open the reading files in an...

shade-cabin-hammock

Hiya Stefan,

Ah! ALL fixed! Thanks!

shade-cabin-hammock

Dr. D! NICE! That seems to be a good work around for now for that big file. I entered the color of the page that I'd posted, which appears to be a sort of uber-black denim, 212934 as the background, used white for the text, and then followed your other configurations (set it to only change black tex...

Hi, Being as how I get so much help on the Forum from all the friendly folk, I set up a search for all my posts, using the Search user’s posts link. I've noticed that recently, that's sort of cut off at an earlier date, and is not showing all. Just tested on myself and then two other users, and noti...

shade-cabin-hammock

Hi, WILLY & STEFAN ! Thanks VERY much to you both!! :D :D :D I follow. In the interim, I had a few possible ideas that are sort of beyond my ken, not sure if they offer any hope. If the "fix" here that has initiated the new text editing presentation was built around an effort to help f...

Hi, I've got a long document where I use a dark blue background and white text. Seeing as it's so long and my old tired eyes being what they are it's easier for me. Recently, the editing of text bocks has begun exhibiting an unusual feature. When I click into a text box to edit, the textbox itself f...

shade-cabin-hammock

Hi Daniel, Ah! Yes. Perfect. And, thanks for the lead among the tools as to where that was. Somehow in my mind I was concerned - since those pages that I'm working with have a bunch of content already - I was thinking that if I DID find that background command again (and the one you shared WAS the o...

shade-cabin-hammock

Hi, Have a PDF file I created a while ago. Somehow, and I don't recall the steps, I was able to give it a dark blue background. I tried to resize some of the pages recently, and I noticed that the resize goes fine, but the new portions of the pages have a white background. I'm willing to bet that I ...

Hi, I looked and looked but couldn't find anything in the settings. I'm almost CERTAIN there's a setting that allows one to KEEP selected the tool you've selected?

Hi Paul,

Yep, yep. You grokked my idea perfectly! (Another throwback LINE for our wee set, eh?)

If it could be done it'd be MAGIC! Fingers crossed.

Hi, I had an idea for sort of doing an end run on reflow to achieve wider spacing, like double spacing and 2.5, which I need on some files for marking up. Here's what I did: Took about six pages and merged them, having cut away the headers. This gave me one VERY long page. Went to Insert > Insert Em...

Hi, So! I've got a work I need to convert from PDF to text. It's just a single chapter of a very long work, a few pages. I merged it into one long page to make things easier. Trouble is, although I cropped out the header info, every time I would run the conversion - there, where the page breaks were...

shade-cabin-hammock

Hi Dr. P!

Ah! Bless you, mate. No worries. Good news is...the Enhance Scan did the trick and THEN - the work was struck from the list!

Wish THAT would happen more often.

I've got a NEW issue I'm wrangling with - cropped headers that are...STILL in the content boxes! It's a hum-dinger.

Hi, I have a file with liiiiiiight grey text. Seems to be Arial. I know I can OCR it, but it being occasionally dual language text and somewhat specialized, OCR will be less accurate than ideally it could be. Will leave me jumping back to the original too often I feel. I tried the feature Enhance Sc...

-that had always acted the same. And, now it doesn't, even WITH text selected.

THANK YOU I was TOTALLY flummoxed.
