PDF XChange Forum

Hello, I'm gradually working my way up the learning curve with my recently upgraded version of PDF-XChange Editor. However, there's a handful of questions I have which I'm hopeful will prove to be the best thing yet I have discovered about the new version. As shown in the following screenshot, there...

Many thanks for the explanations.

By the way, the account page is asking me to login. However, it is not accepting my username & password.

Is the login there the same as for this forum or do I need to create a new username and password there?

gopher_everett

Thank you for the reply.

Does using the current latest version require the purchase of a new license or is the upgrade free based on my existing version?

gopher_everett

Hello, Which version of PDF-XChangeEditor is best to be used in the following scenario? I just upgraded my 1 TB main drive to a new 2 TB drive. So the 2 TB drive is now DriveC and the previous 1 TB drive (which contains my programs) is now DriveD. Details for the existing version can be seen here: h...

Note for my own future reference: To turn off the "Link Creation Tool" view, simply click the "Select Text" tool.

Thank you Daniel for your reply. Here is the version I am currently using: 2020-08-21a.png Following your instructions, I went to: Tools > Link Tools > Link Creation Tool That caused all the links in the document to be highlighted — each in a light blue box. I then right-clicked on the box in questi...

I don't know because I do not have that item (Create Link) in my toolbar nor do I know where to find it. Is there something that needs to be one way or the other in order to delete a hyperlink?

gopher_everett

Thank you for the reply. That's the type of simple step I was expecting to find for deleting a hyperlink. However, when I right-click on a hyperlink, I get the following options menu (which as can be seen, does not have a Delete option): 2020-08-16a_right-click menu in PDF-XChange Editor.PNG Can you...

Hello, How do you remove a hyperlink once it has been created? I am in the process of creating multiple links to specific locations in several different files. I'm using the following sequence of steps: Select area to be the link > right-click > Add Link . . . > Add Custom Link . . . > (opens Edit A...

gopher_everett

Thank you. That is indeed very simple.

During the process, I got the following pop-up alert:

My current version is 6.0 (Build 320.1)

Can you tell me if I am eligible for an upgrade at a reduced price or if I am required to purchase the full package?

Thanks

Hello, Is there a way to combine multiple separate PDF files into a single file (like a book) using PDF-XChange Editor? I'm paralyzed and cannot move my hands so I'm helpless with anything hardcopy. As a result, in order to read a book I have to have it in an electronic (on-screen) form. I have an o...

Thank you for the prompt reply Daniel. Here is a screenshot of my current settings: 2019-10-02d.png Example: Suppose I've got the file open in Two Page view and notice that the left & right page numbering is reversed. I've learned that by going to: View > Page Layout and clicking the Show Cover ...

Hello, When using PDF-XChange Editor, is there a way to set the default to: Show Cover Page in Two Pages View? I have a large document which when viewing, I frequently toggle between Single Page and Two Page view. However, when the document is initially opened and happens to be in Single Page view, ...

gopher_everett

Thanks for the clarification Daniel. I appreciate the prompt and well-written support.

gopher_everett

Thanks a bunch Daniel. That is just the information I was looking for.

gopher_everett

Thanks for the reply. You mentioned "comments" but is that the same as the original document text? It seems like comments are something you add (like a sticky note or margin note) to the original document. If so, then I'm not referring to underlining the content in one of those notes but a...

Hello, What are the fewest number of steps required to create a link in one PDF document to a destination in another PDF document?

Hello, My current PDF-XChange Editor is Version: 6.0 (Build 320.1). Is there a way to automatically replace multiple underlining markups applied using an older version with similar markups using the current version?

gopher_everett

Thanks for the reply Will.

Yeah, x & y coord positioning would be a very helpful feature.

Using: PDF-XChange Editor, Version: 6.0 (Build 3 to 0.1) Hello, Is there a way to position objects on a PDF page by defining x & y coordinates rather than dragging it with the mouse? For example, I have a 2400 page PDF document in which the text on each page is in two columns (ie there are four ...

Hello, Is it possible to fill a rectangle or other shape with a highlight-type of color which does not obscure the underlying text? For example, when a color is applied to a selection of text using the highlight tool , the text is not obscured at all. But if a fill color is applied to a rectangle ov...

gopher_everett

Thanks a bunch Willy. I'm delighted with that result. Your detailed instructions are crystal clear and were very easy to follow. I've now got exactly the highlighting options I was hoping for: 2018-10-21a.png The following screenshot shows a pre-existing area of text with light purple highlighting: ...

Hello, Is there a way to create multiple Highlight buttons in a toolbar with each having its own color?

Hello, Does PDF-XChange Editor include a utility for printing to PDF? If not, what app/utility is recommended for doing so? I'm not referring to printing (eg to a laser printer) a file that is already a PDF, but saving a local file or download to a PDF format. I'm currently running PDF-XChange Edito...

Hello, Is there a way to copy/paste an inserted object (such as a Text Box) so that it occupies exactly the same position when pasted on a different page as it did on the page from whence it was copied? In a previous thread* I learned how to paste a copied object at the current mouse cursor position...

gopher_everett

Thanks a bunch for the reply Will. That did the trick! By the way, I suspect it's only a couple of typos, but here is a corrected* sequence of steps: Edit > Preferences > Commenting > Paste comments into mouse position *Unless there is a newer version out. Mine is: Version: 6.0 (Build 320.1)

Hello, After inserting a Text Box, right-clicking it, and selecting Cut or Copy, how do you Paste the Text Box elsewhere? In this case, I am referring to Cutting/Copying the entire box, not just the text it contains. After adding the box to the clipboard and positioning the cursor to a different pag...

gopher_everett

Thanks for the prompt replies. As I suspected, that setting is very easy to access. However, seeing the solution makes me want to reemphasize the main point of my previous post. The reason is that although I use PDF-XChange Editor almost every day, I am a user who only rarely goes into change settin...

Hello, How do you change the setting to open multiple PDF files all in a single instance of PDF-XChange Editor vs multiple instances (ie each file having its own instance)? I really like PDF-XChange Editor and have no intention of ever "exchanging" it for another application so please take...

Hello, When creating a new hyperlink in PDF-XChange Viewer, is it possible to define the name of a previously-established bookmark as the destination rather than having to thumb through lots of pages to arrive at that specific location in the document?

Hello How do you change the tree level of a new bookmark in PDF-XChange Viewer ? For example, suppose your existing bookmark tree has bookmarks at two levels: ___A _______A1 _______A2 _______A3 ___B _______B1 and suppose you want to create a new bookmark (A2a) at a 3rd level: ___A _______A1 _______A...

Hello,

In PDF-XChange Viewer, how do you remove a hyperlink which has been assigned to a certain portion of text?

Thanks

gopher_everett

1.) Highlight the Title or text you want to hyperlink. Right click, go to… 2.) to add a new page go to… If there is no Table of content already in the PDF file - then the Viewer won't be able to create one automatically. Those are usually created in an external application (e.g. Word) before conver...

Hello, Now and then I come across a PDF document which begins with a blue Table of Contents in which the listed headings or chapters are clickable. In other words, they are hyperlinks which allow the user to jump directly to a specified heading or page. Questions: 1) Using PDF-XChange Viewer, is it ...

Hello, When multiple PDF files (tabs) are open in PDF-XChange Viewer, is there a way to: 1) specify or go to a specific tab using only the keyboard (i.e. without the mouse)? 2) navigate to adjacent tabs using only the keyboard? For example, at the moment, I'm typing in Google Chrome and have multipl...

View -> Page Layout -> Show Cover Page in Facing mode

Thank you Stefan. I anticipated the solution was something simple like that — I just did not know what it was.

gopher_everett

Hello, After selecting: View > Page Layout > Facing how does one swap (left-to-right & right-to-left) the two pages? For example, I am viewing a PDF file of a large document which I have previously read and studied (and even highlighted) in hardcopy book form. Consequently, there are multiple he...

gopher_everett

Thanks for the helpful response Paul. PDFs should be rendering as well in the Viewer as other software. I was premature in posting this comment. I don't know why things appeared blurry or fuzzy initially but somehow that has been resolved. Perhaps I just needed to restart my computer or maybe there ...

gopher_everett

Hello, After 7-8 trials of different free PDF readers, I finally found and tried PDF-XChange Viewer. I really like the layout as well as the accessibility, scope & intuitiveness of the editing tools.
