PDF XChange Forum

No expert but without seeing the original file it's hard to say but start by checking the resolution that you have the driver set to. Also check if the PDF-XChange Viewer is set to Print As Image. When you print to a print driver through Windows the images are sent out as the dpi of the printer driv...

Matt, Also forgot to mention on a tablet you are going to drive yourself nuts trying to figure out how to cancel out of the cloud command and other things because it does not recognize holding your finger down for a right click. It instead thinks you want to add another point. So at least for the cl...

Matt, I can tell you I've been running it on Windows 8 on a Samsung ATIV smart PC Model 500T1C-A04 with Windows 8 (full not the RT version) and it's not too bad. Windows 8 is nicer for browsing the internet, Facebook, and such on the tablet but the vast majority of the programs like the PDF-XChange ...

Did this never get fixed? In the latest version I'm seeing the same problem. The file size the PDF-XChange Viewer is making for a color is 12.68 MB. PDFTool4 is 1.28 using the same TWAIN scanner and settings. The problem also exists for the WIA driver for this same scanner. The PDFTools one for the ...

I've seen this with the Arial font and it appears to have to do with font temporary files not being cleaned up by Adobe when I'm also testing things in their reader. Check once if in your fonts list if it lists some weird temporary font names or if changing the font to a different font solves it. No...

Check out www.xenocode.com and with their Application Studio ISV Version you can wrap it into your exe to prevent problems like this with any ActiveX control. It's not cheap I think around $1500 but we've had good luck with it and it's far cheaper than Thinstall which was bought out by VMWare.

It looks like it's actually a page in the PDF. When combining the PDF's in Adobe I think they give you an option of showing the first page of the first file or using their generic cover page I guess you would call it. If opened in Adobe Reader you never see the cover page. It opens into the first fi...

Are there any plans to make the Packaged PDF files a little bit more intuitive to the end user? Right now it opens showing the Adobe Splash Screen telling the user to download Adobe Reader and with the Pages Tab current (or whichever tab was current last). I like how the Adobe Reader handles it wher...

rmcmanamy

It would be extremelly helpful if we could either pass the filename for the stamp or somehow programatically query the list of defined stamps to get their display name, filename, and GUID.

rmcmanamy

Perfect. Thanks once again.

rmcmanamy

Is it possible to add a custom stamp programatically? We can create them through the pallette and add them but I would like to just tell the Style to be able to use a filename. And how does the Type property correspond to the Style Pallette? It gives me some weird GUID type of value when it's a cust...

rmcmanamy

That's what I thought but it's not working on mine. Did some more testing in the End User Version of the Viewer can't reproduce it. But in your PDFViewerActiveXTestVB.exe sample I can. Open a File Show the Commenting Toolbar Select the Rectangle from the Toolbar Draw a rectangle Move over the rectan...

rmcmanamy

If someone wants to draw an annotation starting at the end of en existing one or close to another one you cannot due it because the cursor ends up selecting the existing object instead of starting the annotation where you click or using the object snap. It's almost like you need a left shift button ...

rmcmanamy

I've programmed around it but you might want to throw it on the wish list. Adobe and most other programs work where the default is the last tool between those two and it's much more intuitive to the user I think.

rmcmanamy

Maybe I'm missing something but I thought that when you hit Esc to get out of something like the Line Tool it would default back to either the Pan or Select Tool depending on which you used last? Or is there a preference for it that I am missing?

rmcmanamy

If I open a PDF and set the Documents.AllowSaveCustomProducer to one and then set the Producer Property it shows that the document has been modified which is fine. But if I set the Modified to 0 it still shows that the document has been modified. If I do the same thing but set the Modified to 1 afte...

rmcmanamy

Perfect. Thanks so much!!!!

rmcmanamy

Are they available in the 2.042.4 build or just in the upcoming one?

What's the name for calling it? I tried these and a bunch of other ones in the current build and wasn't getting anything.
Commenting.Attachment
Commenting.Attach

Thanks again.

rmcmanamy

Can we access the properties for the attachment comment? It looks like it should have FColor, Opacity, and Type for the icon.

Also if not will this be added into the upcoming release?

Thanks

rmcmanamy

Thanks. Any chance it will be added into this next release?

rmcmanamy

I see the Underline Text now has a Style of either normal or wavy but I don't see in the help the proper name for the property. Has it been added in yet and if so what is the property name.

rmcmanamy

Awesome. You guys are the best!

rmcmanamy

If I change the Producer or Creator values and check them they do return the values that I set. Even if I set them just prior to the Save or SaveAs call. But if I do a Save or SaveAs the producer is overwitten with PDF-XCange Viewer and the Creator is still the original values. I also noticed that i...

rmcmanamy

Thanks once again guys!

rmcmanamy

I know Adobe's also works this way but why does the Snapshot tool not take into account the page zoom or scaling. I would think that if a user takes a snapshot of something on the page and they want to paste it back in that it would put it back in the same size as the original. But this is not the c...

rmcmanamy

It would be great if they could allow one in the short term to say maybe pass in a negative RGB value or something to enable the Multiple Blend Mode to be used on all annotation objects besides just the Highlight one. I realize that Adobe doesn't have his in their dialogs either but it would be very...

rmcmanamy

Thanks but there is nothing that I see for changing the transparency type (Blend Mode)for the AX methods. I thought maybe we could pass an RGBA value instead of RGB for the FColor and SColor but that doesn't seam to do it either. I'm also not 100% sure if the line comments even allow this but from t...

rmcmanamy

The highlight text uses a true highlight where yellow is pure yellow and all objects below it show through even with the Opacity set to 100%. Black still shows through as black so I'm guessing it's using a multiply transparency. Lines and other objects though look to use No transparency along with t...

rmcmanamy

You've got it. It looks like the majority of them when you Esc will go back to the hand or select as you would expect. StickyNote, Line, Arrow, Oval, Polyline, Pencil, Polygon But it looks like these all operate the same way and don't work properly Eraser All Text Tools (except the StickyNote) Highl...

rmcmanamy

Yes. But the rest of the tools even if you have the Keep Tool Selected enabled the Esc key will take it back to the hand or selection icon.

rmcmanamy

The line and pencil and most other tools if you hit the escape button it will exit the tool and go back to the hand tool. The Eraser tool though stays the eraser tool when you hit Esc.

rmcmanamy

If the Flags are set to 0 for Objects the SnapTopObjects tool changes the value to 992 which I can't figure out what all the flags are for. But in the Preferences interface you can uncheck all of the options and toggle the Snap to Objects on and off and it still leaves them individual values uncheck...

rmcmanamy

In the Viewer Control all dialogs and prompts end up showing up in the center of the screen instead of in the center of the control. Is there anyway to fix this so it's not so annoying to the user.

The only exception seams to be the Open and Save dialogs which appear in the upper left which is fine.

rmcmanamy

Thanks. I was looking in the Chm help file which I didn't notice hasn't been updated since last year. Sorry about that. Thanks once again.

rmcmanamy

The Border.Width seams to work fine but I saw someplace else in the forum where it showed the Border.Style and that one it fails on me. CoPDFXCview1.SetProperty("Commenting.Line.Styles[0].Border.Width", 2.0, 0) - Works CoPDFXCview1.SetProperty("Commenting.Line.Styles[0]Border.Style&qu...

rmcmanamy

Great. That would be awesome.

rmcmanamy

The Panes.Visible returns false when Panes are stacked on top of each other and tabbed like the default location for the Bookmarks, Thumbnails, Layers and such on the left side. In your VB6 sample app you can see this by checking the Bookmarks which it will then show a check in the box. But as soon ...

rmcmanamy

Yes we can change it but I think they would want to change the default settings for new users.

rmcmanamy

Why does it only have the Save As Copy option and not the Save As option in the toolbar when you open a PDF through Internet Explorer? I would think by default people would normally want to save as the same name as it was on the website and not with the copy appeneded on.

rmcmanamy

Thanks but are we sure it cannot be changed? There are several problems with this from the end users standpoint, from a programmers standpoint, and even from standard Windows functionality. 1.) You can't even use the Windows Close button to close the form in this case. 2.) Mouse Notifications are no...

rmcmanamy

Thanks. I just couldn't find if it was a comment or measurement or what the object was for it.

I finally found the distance one to be Commenting.Distance.

rmcmanamy

How can we programatically set the scale to use for measurments?

Also can we programatically set the lineweights to use for objects?

rmcmanamy

In testing the VB6 sample (as well as the C Sharp) it seams like when you issue annotation commands like line or cloud that the control takes over the mouse events for the entire form. In other words if the command is still active and I move to an area outside the control (say the Apply checkbox in ...

rmcmanamy

I'll second that this would be extremelly helpful to say the least.

rmcmanamy

I'm not 100% sure but I believe Acrobat Distiller is a postscript based printer driver and that is the difference.

rmcmanamy

I think it's the difference between the Windows Printing and the Postscript printing in AutoCAD. Going through the Windows GDI printing they seam to output as lines even if a printer supports curves. Even circles are outputted as lines. But through Postscript they print it as curves. But in Postscri...
