Re: Error message - Can't open the file

Same problem here once I loaded 314.
Yes # in Folder name.
Opening within Editor with no error.
Noticed it on a thumb drive.
Didn't notice it with files from hard disk (yet)

Took thumb drive to my other machine which is pre 314. Opens fine.

Scan not quite 100% size

I have this hard copy form with vertically spaced table rows. They are made to match index tabs in a book. Plan was to scan in the master, Typewriter in the verbiage and print out. Once I do this the filled in form no longer aligns to the book tabs. Not much but slightly undersized. it's probably al...

Just an atta boy

Recently had a need to use the Manual Duplex Reverse feature in scanning. Works like a charm.

I know it's a feature that's been around for a while but nice to know it was already there when I needed it.

Log in your Tracker account. Go to "Your Products & Serial Numbers" tab. There should be an option to convert to the new SN scheme. It will be like 40 thousand characters long ( :twisted: ). There is an option to copy to clipboard so you can paste it in the license field. Best I can re...

Re: How to delete (not just clear) sections of a document?

> every element on a PDF is located by a coordinate and has no 'knowledge' of any other element in the file.

...which makes it sooooo easy to write code to edit a PDF where the user "sees" and wants to act on groups, blocks, paragraphs, sentences, etc.

Yea, right... :-(

Scan to existing open PDF

I know there are a couple of ways to combine PDF's, pages, etc. using thumbnail drag and drop or Combine Files into Single PDF. I recall way back when I had Acrobat 5 that you could open an existing doc then request a scan. Acrobat would present a popup asking if you wanted it as a new doc or do you...

Automatically OCR's Scanned Files

Hopefully an easy one with an option change but I could not find it. I'm running 3.0.306.0 under Win 7. Somewhere in one of the past couple of builds I now notice when I scan a doc it automatically OCR's it. Not necessary from my POV. Maybe OCR'ing docs all the time before saving has some benefit? T...

Unfortunately I have never been able to edit text very well with the Editor V3 Build 301.0. Different strange things happen with the text. Fortunately, now I have a very basic & 100% repeatable issue. Maybe getting to the cause of this will result in fixing other Editor issues. Totally possible ...

Re: OCR produces blank pages

PDFXVE3.exe File Version: 3.0.300.0

No hurry. I'll hang out for 301 and see what happens. Address it then. Since I saw no other one posting about it, just assumed it was something with setup/configure on my end.


Thanks for the quick reply though.
