PDF XChange Forum

Hi Vasil, I often like to have a couple of programs to do the same job. I DO like PDF XChange Editor, but I wish that the menu and toolbar items had a more conventional appearance. So much is unintuitive and when one tries to find something in the help, it often does not have a 'hit'. I would MUCH r...

Hi,
Here's the screenshots.

I can remove all but two of the items by customising the toolbar, but I would rather it not be there in the first place.
Please let me know if you would like any further information.

I have another PDF editor that I like to keep installed. I was just using it and found that Editor has integrated with it, inserting toolbars etc. I have managed to hide all of the Editor tabs bar 2, but I would much rather remove all traced of Editor from this program. How do I do this? The other p...

Is it possible to get a refund for my latest upgrade? The more I think about it, I should have kept my edition as is.

Answered my own question when I found that both installables had exactly the same size. Just installed the new kew and got all features. It looks like this will be the last time I purchase a maintainance/support package. It has gone past the point when I am paying more than I would have done if I ha...

I have just upgraded to PDF-XCXhange Plus.
First, can I install over the previous install or must I uninstall first?
Second, if I install the plus program now and activate it, will I have the use of the 'plus' features ahead of time?
Cheers

I have just purchased a further year's maintenance and took the opportunity to upgrade to the 'plus' version. I have a couple of questions. 1) Do I have to uninstall previous version before installing the Plus version? 2) Does Plus become active before the renewal date or do I have to wait? Cheers DrT

Managed to fix it by closing the document that was in the print dialogues!

I tried to print some documents earlier and Editor behaved strangely. I cannot give you any details as I did not pay much attention to it thinking that there would not be a problem. I was wrong. Whenever I load Editor, it tries to print the documents as the print dialogue appears. Whether I print or...

Hi Alex,

The sorting that I was hoping to see was in the menu when I click on the lower part of the Open menu item, the one with "Open... and a down arrow". I would like to control the ordering of that recents menu.

Hi Daniel, I missed the previous post to which you referred, sorry. I have always been astounded at the number of improvements and fixes that you have put into each release.

Hi Stephan,

The sort feature has been on the "to-do" list for quite a while as indeed has the unloading issue

Hi, I asked for these a while back, but thought it was time to ask again. 1) I would like to be able to order the pinned recents, either by A>Z or manually or both. I use the feature extensively and it looks a mess without any ordering as well as being very difficult to find something that I know is...

Hi Daniel,

That looks like it. I have just had a play around to test and it looks like it is a Windows "feature" as it affects other programs.

Hi, I will often select text on the first page of a PDF to be used as the file name. If the text is on two or more lines, only the first line appears when the text is pasted into the save dialogue.

Hi Daniel,

I cannot edit any text after the OCR process. Either option just leaves me with the apparently unchanged page or a non-editable copy of the pade. What am I missing here?

Cheers

DrTeeth

DrTeeth

Hi,

I have found the OCR command and options box. When the OCR is finished, is another document made? I just test OCRed a page and nothing happened. I was expecting a word document or similar. In short, OCR does not seem to do anything here. Good chance operator error.

Hi Daniel,

You got it. It was that program.

I did not disable the program for Editor correctly before. I have done it now and the minimise button is working okay.

Hi Daniel,

That overlay is what I mentioned above. I did remove it from Editor and it did not change anything so I moved it back. Sorry for missing the export settings function. So few programs have them.

I'll get on the case tomorrow.

Hi Daniel, Could you please tell me how to backup my settings for Editor before I start?

Hi, If those three buttons, the minimise one has less than half its area that will highlight the button so a click will minimise. If one draws a line through the minus sign, then another about 0.5-1 mm below that one, you will find that only the area under that second line "works". The oth...
