Re: Shifted objects?

Hi Daniel,

as I see it here, the documents which are not "normalized" won't change when using the "normalize media box" option. Maybe I am doing something wrong or there is maybe another option to shift one or multiple pages to a specific coordinate.

Cheers,
Michael

Re: Shifted objects?

A little bit to early now, but maybe a function to "normalize" all objects (or pages?) could be helpful.

Shifted objects?

Sometimes copying objects to different documents or pages are placed on "wrong" positions. Because it is hard to explain I have enclosed an example document. When you copy and paste the object from page 1 to page 2 this shift effect can be seen. Otherwise copying the object on page 2 and p...

Hi, just wanted to give you a hint about the issue that the 'Document Information' in the 'Document Properties' dialog will not be updated (cleared), when all metadata is removed ('Additional Metadata...' / 'Advanced' / 'Remove All' / 'Ok')

When reading the new functions of the build 362 I was wondering there's an image editor available (which now has a crop function) :) - but only when importing images. :(

Why this editor can't be called for a selected image within a document? For me cropping would be a useful option in many cases.
