PDF XChange Forum

Hello vjuhasz2,

The ticket is already in place for the vertical tabs request, and as for stacking - we do not have that for the moment, however sessions might be a good way to group files if you need to keep track and/or work in different projects?

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Eritonio, Provided the file is not security protected or signed (with preventing modifications) - yes you should be able to do that easily. Here is a KB article on how you can edit the contents of a PDF file: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgebase/390-How-do-I-use-PDF-XChange-Editor-to-edit...

Hello MedBooster, What do you mean by "the same folder"? All stamp collections would usually be located in %Appdata%\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor\3.0\Stamps And it is perfectly possible to have a stamp collection (would show as a single .pdf file in the above folder) that has dynamic stamps...

Hello MedBooster, Thanks for the sample! I see your point now and will ask our devs if this is working as intended (links are also technically annotations). And if this needs fixing - we will make the necessary ticket. In the mean time you should be able to select your annotations in the Comments pa...

Hello rakunavi,

Thanks for your help!

One can also open the Links pane - and do their link selection there, and in that pane one can draw a rectangle with a mouse drag:

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello MedBooster, This dialogue is shown when you place a new link. If that dialogue is not shown - you would then need to go through the Properties pane to set that link up. Can you please explain to us how you see this add new link tool should be working without that dialogue? Kind regards, Stefan

Hello MedBooster, It seems like you have added a copy of the "Add Web Link" button to your toolbar: image.png This one requires that you have already made a selection to be able to work. So select some text and then try using it. If you'd like to create a general link and draw that yoursel...

Hello Bjørn,

Can you please check whether you have not turned off the "Keep Selected" for this tool:

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Mathew,

Once again - many thanks for the lovely tools you are creating and maintaining!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello MGruhy, Imagine that a PDF page has 'layers' on it - this would be separate from the "optional content groups" that are referred to as layers in the PDF specification. You have base content and "on top" of it - you would have the annotations. Stamps are a type of annotation...

Hello Mathew,

Many thanks for the updates version of that tool!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello MedBooster,

Can you please share with us a copy of one sample document so that I can check that for you.

And just to confirm - you've turned the highlighted setting on, right?

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Tamutka, Assuming that text is all base content - you should indeed be able to select and modify it all at once: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgebase/390-How-do-I-use-PDF-XChange-Editor-to-edit-documents However PDF files do not normally "reflow" text - as in a PDF document each...

Hello Raindrops,

I am not sure whether you will have the same tools as myself - as I am with admin rights in the forums, however I suspect you should have the same option in this drop down menu:

Hello Raindrops,

Thanks for your feedback.
I will pass it on to our UI devs, however given that wanting to close all tabs is a rare occurrence, I can not make any promises as to if or when this might be implemented.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello steviewevie, I've heard back from our devs, and they will try to work on a fix for your files. In the mean time - please try to just drag and drop your Excel files over the Editor. It will do the conversion on the fly, and as that uses a different approach - your links should be handled better...

Hello steviewevie, Thanks for the slimmed down sample! I've managed to reproduce this with your samples and the DPI settings in both Excel (Under Advanced) and inside the PDF-XChange Add-in seem to not have effect on the link offset. Just spoke with a colleague who told me that this is a known probl...

Hello MedBooster, Mathew, rakunavi, and all, Indeed Many thanks to Mathew and Banep, as well as you Rakunavi, and MedBooster for making this topic as well as anyone else posting in the forums for all the great contributions you are all making! I am sure that they all help in getting our products eve...

Hello steviewevie,

This usually happens when Excel works with different objects with varying DPI - so the links are offset from their actual positions.
Can you please try to see if you can force Excel to use 96 DPI for that file and see if it helps?

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello pschlan, I do not recall any particular issues with fonts in 383, however at the same time - not all minor changes are listed in the version histories - so it possible that build 385 handles your files and fonts better. So please do update, and if the issue is still present - would you be able...

Hello shade-cabin-hammock, The formatting of objects inside PDF files is quite different than that in word processors. So I will ask my colleagues if anything can be done, but for now - you will need to format text inside the sticky notes at least once, and you can then reuse it with the formatting....

Hello shade-cabin-hammock,

Bookmarks are also independent from the base text on your pages.
So if you want to highlight a specific word on a page - you need to do that on the word itself, and not through the bookmark.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Loki@99,

I will check with our devs and see what they think on this one, however I can not make any promises that the current behaviour will change, so as Daniel suggested - you might consider using the presets to speed up your splitting at least a bit!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Willy Van Nuffel,

Thanks for the help!

@Raindrops - please let us know if the above helps!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Willy Van Nuffel,

I would too personally like the warning to stay there, and I think that for now indeed you need to 'resave' the session to tell the Editor that you've made changes to it.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Willy Van Nuffel, Thanks for that! @feuerland - you can not upload images directly here, however you can zip them first and then attach the archive. If you can provide us with a (non sensitive) sample of the original PDF file and the resulting image you get - we will be happy to take a look at...

Hello bertrand.savarit, They have most likely not updates at the same time as you did! Or might have an older license that is not allowing them to get to the same version as yourself. If you would like us to look at the licenses - please e-mail us to support@pdf-xchange.com as these forums are publi...

Hello shade-cabin-hammock,

When you have the "Forbit the change..." checkbox turned on - that would prevent the scaling settings you have specified in the bookmark. So please turn that one off and your bookmarks should start working the way you want them to!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello shade-cabin-hammock, Rakunavi,

Thanks for the above discussion, and I will see if I can raise the priority of that ticket!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello kumar, As per my above post - that is just a visual appearance. Even if yo click to the side of the actual slider - as long as you are within the normal width of this scroll area - you would still be able to select it and use it. This is just a visual appearance and while it looks smaller - th...

Hello Eritonio, Yes - that is correct - the initial image and the annotations you would place on top of it would be separate and you might need to move them separately. If the image is inside a stamp - you should be able to select both the image stamp and the 'highlights' placed on top of it and the...

Hello Vici,

If you are using the typewriter tool - it should automatically expand further down.
Do you have a sample PDF file you can share with us that those other tools allow you to type in as needed?

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello shade-cabin-hammock, What would be the reason for such a request? If you want to change to another tool - just add that tool to the toolbar, and if you need to deselect/switch back to hand tool - just press the Esc key on your keyboard. You can assign shortcuts to commands - not buttons to spe...

Hello rakunavi, You beat me to it! I was just posting a link to the same location :) The Highlight tool requires test to work on, however you can use other tools to mimic the same behaviour over other content: How do I freehand highlight content in documents containing mostly images Kind regards, St...
