So it should be possible in a direct way, shouldn't it?

Hello Michael, We are following the PDF specification, and would honour the restrictions imposed by such a Signature and not allow you to remove it. You can remove signatures from PDF files in the Editor if the file was signed by yourself and you still have the private key for that signature instal...

Hallo! From the Austrian public business register ("Firmenbuch") I get PDFs with signatures, I can't remove with PDF-XChange Editor. You find an example PDF attached (it's not confidential, as it is from a public register - anyone can get such PDFs online 11 - Kopie.pdf There are "som...

guebert

Daniel, thanks for your reply! I got it! My client sent me a PDF - looked "normal", but all pages with even numbers were rotated 270°, all odd numbers 90° During a meeting, I got the same document on paper and added some comments with pencil. I scanned this paper to PDF and this PDF was ro...

guebert

I have exactly this problem: Comments upside-down after copy/paste I try to copy/paste comments from a pdf file to another pdf file. Either copy paste or the command import comments gives me a copy of my comments but upside-down. How to rotate them, or get thelm directly the good way and found this ...

guebert

Daniel,

I see, that there is no solution right now.

Therefore I ask(ed), to push this feature request (more).

Michael

guebert

Daniel,

your solution does not help for me (my office). I need the reader (!) to open the attachments pane and not the document, because I do not have any influence, which documents our staff receives from outside.

Please force this missing feature once more ... !

Thanks

Michael

guebert

Daniel,

anything new regarding this topic?

It's still "inconvenient" to have to open the attachment sidebar manually ... as mentioned, Adobe does it much better in showing this sidebar automatically, when opening such a "container pdf".

Michael

guebert

Please drop a line here, when this feature is released!

Michael

guebert

I'm pretty curious about this new feature!

Michael

guebert

Stefan,

any additional information about that? Time of release (candidate)? Preview?

FYI: https://draftable.com/compare does it quite well. The only thing I'm missing there is an export of the result-view. It should be exactly like the presentation of the result (WYSIWYG).

Michael

Paul,

may I ask for some more details? I just read out thread again and we discussed several solutions. How will it be able to address parts of the filename?

Michael

guebert

Paul,

thank you very much, once more!

Michael

guebert

Paul,

many thanks for this good news!

Michael

guebert

Paul, I suggest to make it as mentioned here https://help.pdf-xchange.com/pdfxe9/ '<integer>' specifies the minimum number of digits used. This value can be any positive integer from 1 to 12 - for example %[Page:4] starts the page numbering as "0001, 0002, 0003...". So [%filename:1-4] will...

guebert

Paul, now you addressed my issue. ;-) So may I suggest to implement this feature to add customization to this macro [%filename] like mentioned here https://help.pdf-xchange.com/pdfxe9/ %[<Macro Name>:<Parameter>] Other possible solution: Is it possible to get ONE number per file for bates numbering?...

guebert

Paul, no, that's not the solution for my issue. I have "001 - This is the first file.pdf", "002 - This is the second file.pdf" and want to have the Text in the documents like this: "001 - This is the first file.pdf" --> "001:1", "001:2", etc "00...

Hallo! I need to add a short name to several files like A, B, C, D, ... or 1, 2, 3, ... I name the files like this A - mail from xyz.pdf B - plan of xyz.pdf Now I use bates numbering over all files and can use the macro [%filename]. But unfortunately it seems to be impossible to customize this macro...

Hallo PDF-X-Team!

Is there a setting in PDF-X-Editor regarding this quite old issue:

https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=10676

Regards,

Michael

guebert

Anything new regarding this issue?

(BTW I set the target paper size to A3, generate the result and then reduce it back to A4 to get usable layout ...)

Michael

guebert

And now the most important thing: What is a "medium license pack"? I'd buy a (little bit ...) bigger one than acutally needed to get this annoying activation question away?

Michael

guebert

we do have mechanisms in place for larger volume licenses to ensure we are not making our software deployments "un-fun" for sys admins. For anyone that is interested in these mechanisms, we simply ask that you email support@pdf-xchange.com for more details. Is it security by obscurity or ...

guebert

BTW, is there any possibility to start PDF-X with the command to try the activation via internet? This would be a work-around for me. If your license systems wonders about many activation from our office - because I would like to set this on all of my PCs - should be clarified BEFORE I will install ...

guebert

You will need to activate on both your PC and the Laptop ... I did ... , and you should not need to do this activation every time, unless you are loading your same roaming profile to multiple hardware configurations! I agree, I should not need to, but PDFX asks for it. What do you mean with "m...

guebert

Hallo! This is the follow-up to this posting: https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=35631#p148370 As I wrote We use roaming profiles and now I have to "Activate" the key every time I change the PC (today I'm at my office PC, tomorrow I'm using my notebook with the "sa...

guebert

Daniel,

thanks for your reply.

Just another suggestions: If the pdf contains any attachment, the "attachment"-pane should open automatically, if it closed by default. This seems to be a concept, which does not need a lot of changes in the application, doesn't it?

Michael

guebert

It's a must-have to get a hint, that "there is something" more than the visible PDF-content! When will PDFX get such an "indicator"? A paper-clip like Adobe Reader somewhere to click on it, and - even better - a message box (warning) when opening such a PDF would be useful. Michael

guebert

Will, thank you for the hint! But ... when converting from color to "Grey Gamma 2.2." the file size does not really change. Maybe bevause the target profile is "grey" but with too much grey shades. Is there any feature to get only 256 grey shades, which will be enough for documen...

guebert

Hallo!

Is there a feature in PDF-XChange Editor to convert a color PDF to b/w or grey? I often have color jpg's of documents and have to convert them to PDF.

Michael

guebert

Ivan,

great news! When will it be released?

Michael

guebert

Stefan,
Alex,
Willy,

I sent you screenshots with some explanations via E-Mail. Subject is the name of this thread.

I'm looking forward to reading from you.

Michael

guebert

Alex, this is a misunderstanding: I can't produce such a file, because we do not use that system. We just get such files from our business partner, who uses the mail encryption server https://www.nospamproxy.de/en/product/nospamproxy-encryption/ Could you please contact the software developer for no...

guebert

Stefan,

the messages are confidential. May I ask you to fetch examples from the provider of the message-encryption-system ("https://www.nospamproxy.de/de/")?

Michael

guebert

Hallo! Since today we get messages from on of our partners encrypted with "https://www.nospamproxy.de/de/". This server sends an "envelope" PDF which is encrypted and printing not allowed. To open this message, I have to enter a password and then I can see the envelope and attach...

guebert

Stefan,

thanks for that explanation!

In 99% of my usage, I want very small files and font's do not matter. So I let PDFX remove all fonts and get small files ... great. I did not realize this possibility in the past.

Michael

guebert

Hallo Developers! Have you taken a look at this tool: https://smallpdf.com/compress-pdf Does the job much better than PDF-XChange Editor Source: ~ 11,4 MB (http://othes.univie.ac.at/4914/1/2009-03-04_0351623.pdf) Result smallpdf.com ~ 1,7 MB Result PDF-X (96dpi, quality low) ~ 9,6 MB (!!!) Michael

guebert

Hallo! When selecting "Reduce to printer margins" in printing-dialog, I expect PDF-XChange Editor to do exaclty this: If the page to be printed is bigger than the paper in the printer minus margins, the page ist being reduced to that. I do not expect to scale up a page, which is SMALLER th...

guebert

Will,

I extracted the content of the ZIP file to the folder you mentioned. 2 files were replaced. The I set the Editor to handle PDF previews. The error message is the same as before. I did a "reset" to Foxit as described and the preview worked again.

Michael

guebert

Stefan,

of course I did. See https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... 572#p91924

Michael

guebert

BTW, same problem after updating from Win 8.1 to Win 10 (1511): After running Tracker Updater and doing the update to 6.0.318.1 thumnails and preview did not work. Same error message as in the subject. Thank god, the solution with FoxIt reader still works: Log on as local admin PDFX installed Foxit ...

guebert

Stefan,

it seems to be a *very* low priority task ...

Michael

guebert

Hallo!

Anything new regarding this issue?

Thanks!

Michael

guebert

Will, I was not contacted till now (20:45) and I'm leaving now. Did you read my mail from 2016-04-27 (see below the part which might be interesting to other users here)? Michael +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Good news (for me): It works again! Let me tell you, what I did: I l...

guebert

Will, everything (thumbnails & preview) works fine, when Foxit it set as default app. But whenever I set PDF-XChange-Editor to be the app for opening (only, but also when set as default for everything), I loose preview and thumbnail function. So there is something wrong with PDF-X installation. ...

guebert

Hi Michael, At this point, I think a remote session would be prudent - is this something that you would be amenable to? If so, please see this article here, then email support@pdf-xchange.com to arrange a time that works for all of us: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgebase/357-How-do-I-give-Tra...

guebert

Will,

but why does the OCR feature this change if it is not necessary? Shouldn't it do the same as OCR "Add Text Layer " and "save optimized" with the selected dpi-value?

Michael

guebert

I mean using the downsample feature of OCR - scanning a document at 400 dpi, running OCR and set 100 dpi as output (Create New Searchable PDF, Quality 100) produces poor quality but much bigger files than running OCR without downsampling (Preserve Original Content and Add Text Layer) but saving as o...
