Glad to read that the problem has been solved.

Kind regards.

Hi Paul, No, I do not have seen this recently, nor did I try to reproduce this, but I suspect some setting(s) in Windows Registry. It must be something with the key "Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PDFXEdit.PDF\Shell\open\command" and its value "C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF Editor...

Hi, Your print screen is not large enough to have an impression of what that pane could be and the text is also blurred. Do you see a title for that pane and do you see it in all the PDF's you open? You can verify which panes are active via the View-ribbon > Panes. They have a check-mark before thei...

It is not possible at this time to re-order custom styles in the palette, but the request exists (ticket #5973):

It seems like the time to copy the link is long, the paste itself goes fast. One might wonder why it takes so much time to copy a link (on my old computer = 16 seconds), because the Properties themselves appear immediately. There seems to be no obvious reason for this delay. I guess some code is run...

Hi, I do not know if it will help, but try as follows: - in PDF-XChange Editor click File > Preferences - in the column at the left, click File Associations - now, in the column at the right, at "As Default application for PDF files", select "Restore", click Apply and confirm wit...

Willy Van Nuffel

Another small note... If you just need to delete a link, you're better off using the Delete key or right-clicking "Delete".

When using CTRL + X, Windows first makes a copy and then deletes it. That's why it takes the same time as a copy.

Kind regards.

Willy Van Nuffel

So, I guess it works now.

The selection of the pages happens in the "Filter" section. "Extract" extracts these "all", no need for an additional selection.

Best regards.

Willy Van Nuffel

Also thanks from my side for the follow up.

Kind regards to everyone.

The construction of your new tool in PDF-Tools seems correct to me. It consists of: - Choose Input Files - Filter Pages - Extract Pages - Save Documents So, when you save this tool, then select it and run it, does it work or not ? Did you try with the latest version of PDF-Tools, 10.2.1 build 385 ? ...

Willy Van Nuffel

1) In the current build 385, the Enter-key goes to the next page in the selected range in the preview, when the last adjusted thing was the bounding box. When arrived at the last page in the range, nothing happens anymore. In other cases (= bounding box adjustment was NOT the last thing modified in ...

It seems like OCR also works for comments (like Textbox, Callout, Typewriter).

That is why Daniel (KD952) un-checked "Ignore comments on page" in the "OCR Pages (Enhanced)"-dialog-box.

Kind regards.

Willy Van Nuffel

Hi, I suppose you like to pan and zoom on the same page and the same place in both documents at the same time ? Then I think about the "Compare Documents" feature in the Review-tab, as a possible "work-around": Launch PDF-XChange Editor and click the Compare Documents icon in the...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hi all,

I think the question is rather about applying highlight to text in an annotation or comment.

For as far as I know, that is not possible due to the PDF-specifications.

Kind regards.

Willy

Willy Van Nuffel

It seems like the problem came with build 365, where PDF-XChange Editor > Search does not longer remember more than the most recently used folder.

@pdf-xchange support
Can you please confirm this ?

Kind regards.

Willy Van Nuffel

Hi all, I am only able to reproduce the problem when only one page is selected to run the Crop Pages tool on. - First I select one page via "Current" or "Custom" (the "OK" button is greyed out) - Then I redraw the bounding box (the "OK" button becomes availabl...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hi, 1) Can you tell us something about the origin of your PDF files... Do they contain scanned pages that have been made searchable by running OCR on them ? In case of Yes, do you have the possibility to convert them to full text PDF's via the Enhanced OCR engine of PDF-XChange Editor and then try a...

Willy Van Nuffel

Kind regards.

Willy

Willy Van Nuffel

Maybe the pages are rotated 90 degrees ?
See properties of the corresponding thumbnails.
If yes, use the "Normalize pages..." tool.

Willy Van Nuffel

Right-click on whatever toolbar and then - in the list with available toolbars - make sure that "Quick Tools" is enabled. The "Quick Tools" toolbar has been introduced with version 9.4 build 362 (Aug 8th, 2022). So make sure you have this version or later (see Help - About). Kind...

Willy Van Nuffel

It seems like a similar feature was already introduced in build 360, about two years ago.

I thought I remembered something about it, until now by running a search in the Quick Launch.

Kind regards.
.

Willy Van Nuffel

I am afraid that this is currently not possible.

@pdf-xchange support: This might be a request for a feature enhancement (= E-mail selected pages).

At this moment, you will have to extract the needed pages to a new PDF and send it from there.

Kind regards.

Willy Van Nuffel

Thanks Stefan, that is a clear explanation.

It is therefore not self-evident to create new files in that format in PDF-XChange Editor.

Kind regards.

Willy

Willy Van Nuffel

@pdf-xchange support Would it be possible to offer equal PDF Specification options for PDF-XChange Editor as for PDF-XChange Standard when creating new PDF documents ? However, I do not know, there are maybe reasons for not doing that, like restricted functionality ? Can you ask the development team...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hello, Does it help to remove the names of the previously opened documents by clicking the wipe-icon "Zuletzt geöffnete Dokumente aufräumen" ? I tried to reproduce this situation (with build 385 and also with build 371), but I did not yet find how it exactly works. I can not keep the names...

Willy Van Nuffel

The question is about printing from PDF-XChange Editor to PDF by using the PDF-XChange Standard printer and to automatically select the source folder for saving the resulting file. To me, it seems that the DocPath-information is not sent by PDF-XChange Editor (current build 385). The only way I see ...

Hi, If you like, you can reset the toolbar of one specific pane as follows: - activate the pane that you like to reset (= View-ribbon > Panes > Comments OR click the corresponding icon in the Quick Tools toolbar) - go into "Customize Toolbars" mode (= right click on whatever toolbar and cl...

Willy Van Nuffel

Willy Van Nuffel

Maybe there is a wrong interpretation of the original question. There is indeed no problem to print to the same folder as the source file, but what the user wants is that the print should "automatically" happen to the same folder as the source file, without having to change to that folder ...

Willy Van Nuffel

Thanks again @FringePhil.

Unfortunately, when I uncheck the "Save As"-box, the resulting PDF is still saved to my "C:\Willy" folder.

Kind regards.

Willy Van Nuffel

Hi all, Most probably it is just the option "Synchronize document panes across all opened documents" that needs to be turned off. Excuse me if I do not correctly interpret the question. File > Preferences > General > (Tabs and Windows) Setup... . PDF-XChange Editor - Manage Tabs and Window...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hi all,

Thanks for your contribution @FringePhil, but it does not work for me neither (using local files).
In whatever folder I open a PDF, it always prints (Save As) to my "C:\Willy" folder.
.

.
Kind regards.

Willy Van Nuffel

Thanks for that @Jordan. Due to the width of my "Tool Info" column at the right side of my screen I did not see the "(skipped") info. . PDF-XChange Tools - Split Merge skipped.png . I still wonder what would be the reason for Mahalisri1 to not see the thumbnails. Kind regards. Wi...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hi, Myself, I do not find a way to automatically save a printed document to the same folder as the source file either. Maybe you can try the following work-around. Before printing the document, right-click on its document tab in PDF-XChange Editor and click "Copy Full File Name". Then prin...

Willy Van Nuffel

Just an additional question, because in the screenshot made by Daniel it is not visible:

Do you have the checkbox Split/Merge Document enabled, like in the screenshot here below ?
Tested with PDF-XChange Tools version 10.2.1build 385.
.

Willy Van Nuffel

- right click on whatever toolbar - click "Customize Toolbars" (at the bottom of the menu) - in the "Customize Toolbars"-dialog-box, click the "Commands"-tab - in the list with commands, look for the "Stamps"-command - click the "Stamps"-command and ...

Willy Van Nuffel

Glad to read that the colors are back !

Willy Van Nuffel

File-tab/menu > Preferences > Accessibility > Override Document Colors = must be turned OFF.
( shortcut => CTRL + SHIFT + 6 )
.

Does that help ?

Willy Van Nuffel

Thanks Daniel.

Still another possibility:
When you activate the Properties pane and then click Add/Edit Links, you should also find the "Keep Selected" option there.
.

Regards.

Willy Van Nuffel

Hi, The Add/Edit Links tool also has a "Keep Selected" option. This option should be turned ON. From the moment you activate the Add/Edit Links tool, the Link Tools > Format tab will appear. Click on the Format tab to see the Format ribbon. In the Format ribbon, activate "Keep Selecte...

Thanks for the update on this ticket.

Willy Van Nuffel

That is good news to hear.

Thanks for that.

Willy Van Nuffel

Hi Stefan, Davide78, and all, I was second to answer ... Yes, the update is possible: just right-click your "Reading"-bookmark and click "Set Destination" (tooltip = Assign the current view as the new destination for the bookmark). Besides that, when the above parameter (in my fi...

Willy Van Nuffel

I was thinking about selecting multiple (non-consecutive) comments or paragraphs (separate Page Content items), and then change their text-color. Indeed, for base-content-text, while in Edit Text mode, you can select multiple paragraphs at random and change their text color via "Fill Color"...

Willy Van Nuffel

Request for an additional option: In the "Replace Fonts" dialog-box, you have a button "Add from Selection". So, would it be possible to only apply the modification(s) to that selection too ? At this moment, you can only limit the changes to one or more specific pages. Think abou...

Willy Van Nuffel

1) "Replace fonts" affects both, base content and comments. Unfortunately, I see no way to make a distinction between these two.

2) "Replace fonts" can be set to only affect certain pages.
