I used Microsoft Edge browser until Windows 10 1903 as a simple plain reader application. In Windows 10 1909, Microsoft dropped the support and recommends to use one of the 3rd party apps from the Microsoft store instead. I tried a few and was quite unhappy. They have poorly designed user interfaces...

BigMike

No problem - but I'm looking for a good replacement for EDGE - mainly to read these files. Microsoft recommends to search an app in the store. I tried a few and liked none. And so I like the idea, because I use the Editor for doing the same tasks with PDFs...

BigMike

Hi, actually ePub (at least the unprotected files) are a ZIP file, containing html documents (and style sheets and images and...). It's probably more a DOCX (which PDF XChange Editor can open) than a PDF file. So it was a quite nice (and natural) feature of EDGE to support viewing ePub files... I un...

BigMike

As Microsoft dropped the support for ePUB files in Edge, I'm looking for a replacement and would highly welcome a support in PDF-XChange Editor.

BigMike

Hi, I have some suggestions to improve the Language Support Website . First wish: Could you please add the release date of the "Localization Tool", which can be downloaded from the page, to the page. At the moment, I would have to download it, to see, if it has changed. Especially, that's not helpfu...

BigMike

Actually, if I translate the string and then afterwards add "normal" newlines in Notepad++, the newlines are shown in Localization tool. But editing the localization file with different tools is an ugly workaround.

BigMike

Translations wich contain multiple lines are saved in one single line in translation tool.

For example in the translation for the new sanitize plugin, string id snt.sanitize.warning.
The text contains a list with various lines. After closing the translation window, the new lines are removed.

BigMike

Thank you for the quick reply.
Yes, I saw this already, but since my translations are not in E:\Temp\Languages (drive E: is my disc drive), my list is empty...

But nice to know, that it's not forgotten...

BigMike

4 months later... I know, the Translation Tool has for sure not a top priority, but a working "verify all" would simplify my work...
At the moment, I've 26 single translation files, I need to check for changes - and then, I need to check if there were new modules added...

BigMike

EnhancedOCR.pvp should be placed in the plugins subfolder. There needs to be a "Common" folder, which contains additional files, which are needed for the OCR plugin. The thread is about the placement of this folder. As I don't use the installer for the Editor, I can't tell, where it should be placed...

BigMike

I guess, that this isn't the described scenario. SharePoint Online (the Office 365 component) is the "Cloud SharePoint". Every company gets it's own "tenant" in the cloud with it's own instance of SharePoint Online in this tenant. This has nothing to do with "classic" SharePoint and accessing the sa...

BigMike

I want to add, that all your products do not need an internet connection to work and can be installed, licensed and used in permanent offline mode . This may be of no meaning in many cases, but for security reasons, some workstations are not connected to the internet, so that they can only access in...

BigMike

Hello, if you intend to remove the possibility of installing components in different directories, keeping "Common" in the base directory should work fine, I guess. (And as I stated in the "old" thread, this would be fine for me) Removing or updating only single components with the same installer sho...

BigMike

I have to say, that the problems reported in 2017 were ugly, but had no impact on the program's behavior. In custom installation, there was simply no possibility to change the "vault directory" and to have to change the directories at each upgrade is annoying, but has no influence on functionality o...

BigMike

@msys: Simply move the folder C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\Common to your custom installation directory. If you install all components in another custom directory, use also the base directory, if you just install the Editor in another directory, copy it into the Editor installation directory. B...

BigMike

Ok, I'll probably go with the default install into a custom directory until the improved installers are there.

Thank you.

BigMike

Hello Daniel, thank you for your quick and honest response. In light of this, we are looking at a few different approaches, but the most likely one we will follow is to have a single selection for the installation directory, and all files, (Editor, Tools, Common, etc) will always go into that folder...

BigMike

Hi, I just updated to version 8.0.331.0 using the ZIP installer package. The hint to change the default installation directory before choosing the "Custom Installation" didn't help. The "Common" and the "Vault" directory are still placed in the default location %ProgramFiles%\Tracker Software The "C...

BigMike

Thank you for the hint. I will try this with the next update.

BigMike

Hi, - I always use the PDF-XChange PRO ZIP package, not the installer for the Editor - I did the upgrade from version 7.0.328.0 to 8.0.330.0 - I used custom install and changed the installation directory for all installed components (Editor, Tools, Printer, Shell Extension) - I didn't install the Up...

BigMike

Hi, I'd like to extend my report. With version 8, there's not only C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\Vault, but also C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\Common, which seems to be a default directory path and can't be changed. Language files and OCR dictionaries are placed in C:\Program Files\Tracker S...

BigMike

Drag & Drop is fine in the new language tool; Verify all seems to be unfinished? At least, I can't select the folder with my translations...

BigMike

Was something changed here for version 7.0.325? I had to set the folders myself again at the update. By the way, I can't change the installation folder for the "XCVault.exe" While all other files go to the custom installation folders, this one is still placed in %Program Files%\Tracker Software\Vau...

BigMike

This issue is still present in 8.0.330

Yesterday I came across a post in Bruce Schneier's blog about broken signature validation in many PDF viewers. In the list of affected viewers PDF-XChange Viewer is contained, too. Since it was retired for quite some time now, I thought, I need to remember to always use the Editor for signature vali...

BigMike

Hi,

if I change the look of links, which are produced with PDF XChange printer, the "example" on the right in the preferences page doesn'change:

Version 7.0.328.2

BigMike

Hi, I've just tested and reproduced my problem with the latest version of PDF-XChange 7.0.328.2: I've defined multiple profiles. Some of them run a custom application after printing the PDF. I'm talking abount Save -> Run Options - If I change the "Application" or the "Parameters" text field, the ch...

BigMike

Hi,

I just wanted to let you know, that both issues still exist - I updated today to build 7.0.328.2.

Kind regards
Michael

BigMike

I guess you won't have the "Shell Extension" and the "Browser Plugins" in the portable version, as they clearly need operating system integration.

BigMike

I guess you should use the MSI package for an easy deployment with SCCM... https://www.tracker-software.com/knowledgebase/317-How-do-I-use-Orca-and-mst-to-deploy-your-products or register PDF-XChange Editor after deployment https://www.tracker-software.com/knowledgebase/468-How-do-I-Silently-deploy-...

BigMike

Hi Daniel,

thank you very much. A "check all" function would be really great - this would simplify the translation process a lot.

Kind regards
Michael

BigMike

Hi, I've got a feature request for the translation tool: Could you implement (or is there already) a way to open the translation files from explorer? If I try to open a translation file with PDFXLocalizer.exe "Strings.de-DE.xcl" only an empty translation tool window will open. At the moment, there a...

BigMike

Hi,

thank you for the hint

Fixed and sent - you can replace the language file by the one attached here.

PowerShell 2.0 should be included in Windows 7, but I'm not sure if my one liner works in 2.0... PowerShell is based on .Net Framework, so you'll need .Net Framework 4.5 or above for PowerShell 5.1. Afterwards install Windows Management Framework 5.1 (which includes PowerShell 5.1). If you only like...

BigMike

Thanks. I hadn't heard of PowerShell before; just checked it out and it is very interesting. Will try this later today. PowerShell is a very mighty tool. Did you use the default command line "cmd.exe" before? For most commands are aliases in PowerShell, so it's easier to switch... To switch the dri...

BigMike

Hi Daniel, I hope you can remind the Devo team to take a look at this problem and fix it. I now have a couple of hundred filenames to go through to remove the ".dpdf" that occurs before the filename extension (and more accumulating daily). Quite frustrating, and it seems it should be easy locate th...

For the time being, I'm using Comodo's Time Stamping server:

I'd say, at the moment, the OneDrive plugin only supports the OneDrive consumer version (attached to a Live ID). Neither OneDrive for Business in the global cloud, nor in the Microsoft Cloud Germany, nor any other regional cloud (China, US Gov, ...) attached to an Office 365 subscription seem to be ...

BigMike

Can you try to select the language manually?
It's fine here in version 7:

BigMike

Hi jagd05, sorry, you got me wrong. The only think about installing PDF XChange Editor or Viewer is we don't have admin rights on our computers to install, even though it doesn't require a license. Also, a watermark would not work in our case, and money is not an issue. I didn't want to say "use the...

BigMike

Was something changed here for version 7.0.325? I had to set the folders myself again at the update. By the way, I can't change the installation folder for the "XCVault.exe" While all other files go to the custom installation folders, this one is still placed in %Program Files%\Tracker Software\Vault

BigMike

Actually, as you know your "business cases" best, why don't you compare it yourself? Most users here probably don't know Adobe Acrobat Pro (I don't) PDF-XChange Editor can be installed without a license key and contains all features. If you use a feature, which requires a license, a non-removable de...

BigMike

This typo should already be fixed in the upcoming release.
At least, I fixed numerous typos and can't find this one in my latest local language files.

BigMike

Hi, probably Adobe Reader verifies the certificates on opening, while PDF-XChange Editor notifies about the missing verification.
You can change PDF-XChange Editors behavior:

BigMike

Hi, thank you for testing. Today, I got also the new version.

BigMike

Hi,

I get version 2.5.322.7, if I try to download the ZIP package of the viewer:
https://www.tracker-software.com/downlo ... 4011971fcd
The installer inside the archive is dated 11.08.2017. Tried 5 minutes ago.
Could you please check that?

BigMike

The major problem is: It doesn't work! You can't seem to minimize the ribbon or its tabs; rather, "Home" (for instance) must stay open always. Did you notice the little arrow pointing above, on the very right, in the same height as the ribbon titles? Also, I couldn't find any way to make a "Quick A...

BigMike

Tracker Updater seems not to be contained. If I try to open the existing translation file, I get an error:
"This file doesn't contain translation for the loaded modules".
If I try to create a new translation for the updater (File -> New), there is no "TrackerUpdater".

BigMike

Is there a way to import translations from the old translation files to the new ones?
I tried Localize -> Insert Translated strings from another file, but this gives me an error, that the file format is not correct.
This would probably speed up the translation a lot.

Kind regards
Michael
