The page

welcomes me with "Build 340 from July"
here
https://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-tools
we have build 337 from April.
Is it correct?

Peter2

For Version 8.339; maybe modified in current versions ---------------------------- The tab of an open file offers the function "Copy full file name" - see image: Zwischenablage-1 grafik.png The "problem" is - is does more then this: It copies also the file itself, and e.g. in Outlook it does not pas...

Peter2

When the "Application" has a rather long value, then the button for "Additional Metadata" truncates the string - see image.
Not important ..

Peter2

I looked at the postings, relating "large format PDF > 5080" (from 2014 - 2019) - what's the current state, both for Editor and Driver?

Unchanged?
Limited to 5080mm?

I create CAD-plans from different drawings and create a multiple page output. Every page has it own bookmark - "drawing1" to page 1, "drawing2" to page 2 and so on. When I remove "page 1" with the thumbnails, nothing happens with it bookmark. It stays, but is dead - I can click on it, but nothing ha...

Peter2

Thanks, Daniel
I will take a look.

Peter2

...Out of curiosity, may I ask why simply printing from our software to your plotter is not an option? ... We are talking about large-format prints (drawings with different, non standard sizes), and the idea behind it was that the standard "print from PDF-Software" always contains the part "Page si...

Peter2

Thanks,
but nevertheless the difference in performance between Editor and (old) Viewer is remarkable.

Peter2

I have a PDF, 32 MB, 1500 x 890 mm, 1 page, a Map with lines, texts, transparent area, partially rasterized - in total: heavy load for software. Main question: It took 2.5 min to display the image totally, but while the software was working I could select Zoom and Pan and so on. But basically I don'...

Peter2

My test with IE and FF; PDFXChange and MS PDF:
When I use inside the browser the setting "print with background", then the related area is printed as image.
When there is no background, then there is text

So the issue is not solved and not solvable, but explained ..

Peter2

Find attached a PDF, created from a HTML-site of Github. Every text which has a grey background it not a text anymore, it is a picture. It starts at the middle of the first page.

Bug or feature or wrong print settings?

Hi

some remarks?

Peter2

Hi
this Monday, 20.07.2020, I sent a mail to Support with subject "Print from AutoCAD - Missing elements". Did you received it?

Peter

Peter2

There are some long discussions, relating "Gradient", e.g. here https://forum.tracker-software.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=31457 but they are all for Editor and not for Print Driver. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I made a simple drawing / graph with this t...

Peter2

Thanks Daniel

it seem to be OK. Just to be precise for other users:

When you have a printer with serverpath, like "\\myserver\myprinter", you have to type it with escaped backslashes:

\\\\myserver\\myprinter

I can not confirm the "case sensitive" clause - I tried "mYprINTer" and it worked too.

Peter2

In my Windows settings, I defined "PDF-XChange" printer" for all my usual software. So it is also the standard-printer for PDF-Editor. The problem is - when I opened a PDF in Editor, then I usually don't want to print to PDF, I want to print to paper. So the question is: How to set a standard-printe...

Thanks, Dimitar,
works fine!

Peter2

Hi,
sometimes I use the Annotations for measuring, and the baseline should be exactly horizontal or vertical. In some CAD-software there is a so-called Ortho-mode to move the mouse exactly horizontal or vertical.

Is this also possible in Editor?

Peter2

Hi Daniel

thanks, but I don't really want to modify or change extension; I only wanted to suggest that a separated - and greyed out - file-extension would clearly show what the software does (and what you explained).

Peter2

The "file rename" function has a feature which is handy, but maybe confusing: It adds (nearly) always the extension "pdf" Example: I have "hello.pdf" and rename it to .. - "test": It is named to "Test.pdf" - "new.txt" -->> new.txt.pdf - "foo.pdf" -->> "foo.pdf" The problem is: the user does not see ...

Peter2

Thanks to OVG, now I see the difference.

Peter2

Hi Daniel

yes, I have 8.337. Find attached my file - before and after cropping.
And here a screencast: https://autode.sk/2yANguz

The (wrong) crop-area is already visible in preview. Do I use wrong settings?

I think we had this topic already some time ago .. ----- I have a PDF, first page is portrait with a lot of white space, other pages are landscape with only a few white space. I start "crop pages", set to white margins, pages 1-18, all other settings on default. Now it crops the first page correct -...

Peter2

Thanks, Vasyl
that's a good solution for temporary, manual synchronization.

The final step would be - as mentioned above - a free selectable file like "h:\mydata\my_dict_for_all-dic"

Have a good time!

Peter

Peter2

Hi Stefan yes, many of the old custom dictionaries had the extension ".dic" or ".cus" and were a simple text list. The import of an existing list would be only a small part of the solution - I'm thinking of a file which can be selected and is dynamically used for reading and writing from different a...

Peter2

Hi Daniel

thanks, but I know "how to create an own list". I want to know "how to select an already existing list from others software"

Peter2

The Spell Check has also a "Custom wordlist" where I can add and define my special words.

In other programs there is this feature too, but I can select the list like "c:\mydata\my_words.dic" and can use and modify it from different software.

Can it be defined in PDF Edit too?

Peter2

OK, thanks.

Peter2

Thanks for clarification, but nevertheless the usability could be enhanced a little bit

Have a good time!

Peter2

Not an important problem for me and certainly very rare, but maybe you will take a look at it sometimes. ---------------------------------- Since first setup, my PC - which should use German as system language - displays sometimes Dutch strings in System messages - for example in "My documents / My ...

Peter2

Thanks, OK for me.

Peter2

Thanks Daniel,

now I see the background and that I should use better a "Callout" instead a Sticky Note. But just for other users I add the two screenshots so that they know what I was talking about.

Peter

Peter2

I just found why I didn't discover the command for myself. The problem - maybe for other users too - is that the side "Property Pane" offers a "Paragraph" section too, but there is only the "Text alignment". So I thought "that's all" ... But also the "Text / Font" settings are different in the conte...

Peter2

Hi Daniel

now I'm confused - your dialogue is different from mine (PDF-Printer and PDF-Addin for Word; 8.336)

Peter2

@lev

thanks, I found it.

Peter2

I found the palette with a lot of different icons for the "comments". Is it possible to set the size?

Peter2

Version 8.0/336

When I use "Flatten selected comments", then only the icon is displayed. The textbox with text and "connection arrow" to the icon disappears.

Bug or Feature?

Peter2

The "Edit Watermark" has an option called "Placed on:" with "All / first / last / even / odd pages". I want to ask for an option "everywhere except first page".

Does it look helpful to you too?

Peter

Peter2

The standard linespacing of lines, written with Typewriter, is rather high. Can it be modified?

Peter

Peter2

Great. Thanks.

Peter2

Hi Daniel

is there a button / a function to switch quick between "coloured / black-white"?

Peter2

The "Help"-command in version V8 links to the help of version 7.

Peter2

@Willy
thanks, but I just checked again: I have only one (expired, but valid) licence.

@Daniel
thanks too. For me it is clear now, I will see what I'll do.
For the other users it would be great if you could find a way to avoid this unclear behaviour of Updater.

Peter2

Tracker Updater shows me this result:

What does it mean? I'm allowed to update the entire "Pro", but "Editor" as part of the package is not allowed?
I looked at my licence - it is expired (since some time as I know).
