Editor UI will not use System colors

In the attached Screenshots you may see the system colors (encircled green) and PDF-XChange editor using some undefined grey... (encirled red). I expected this to be influenced by 'Preferences - Customize UI - Theme' - however this is set to 'Default (uses system colors)'. Interestingly the Preferen...

Re: How to extract the value(s) of barcodes from a PDF

Thank you for your answer. Not sure if barcode decoding fits into the concept of an OCR engine. I think its rather a separate treatment of images... I definitively would like to have it in a separate interface (= own <ToolID>). Please have a look at my Question 2. My workaround will only work, if I ...

Re: How to extract the value(s) of barcodes from a PDF

Maybe I should have been more specific about my input: My .PDFs are scanned or .pdf received by mail/downloaded - produced by many different authorities - each will have a different structure and look. The only thing they have in common is a QR-Code with a strictly defined content. There are no form...

How to extract the value(s) of barcodes from a PDF

1) Is there really no elegant way to directly extract the values of barcodes contained in a .PDF by means of PDF-Tools? Actually I would expect PDF-Tools to offer a way to extract those values in a similar way we can extract text from a pdf. Maybe enhanced to extract the values of e.g. QR-Codes only...

For example, when you look into this folder through Windows Explorer, how much delay do you see before files appear? And, if you try to test it a couple of times - does the delay lo...

Thank you for this answer. I'll test the proposed solution. I have heared about Alpha-channels but never used any.

I tried to add a stamp with transparent background. I did not use the tools recommended in https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgebase/225 but those standard on my PC. 1) KB225 says only PNG will work for stamps with transparent background. First I found (in contradiction to KB225) that only GIF is wo...

How to Export an image from .PDF

I need to export an image from a .PDF. I know I can export the whole .PDF to a .PNG (and postprocess his later...).

But: Is there any way I can directly export an image in its original dimensions (5730x3989) to e.g. .PNG?

5.5.313.0 Change of UI language during upgrade

Hi

My PDF-XChange Editor was installed with English UI. Since my todays upgrade it changed to German. Something I absolutely don't want.
1) How can I change back to the English version
2) Why is German installed (without asking) when English preexisted?

Kind regards

But this seemed to be rather a co...
