Excellent! That is a feature I use a lot.

Based on the previous thread I may very well be beating a dead horse with this request.

Could the ability to choose Standard or Ribbon Layout also be added to the default settings if it is not complicated to do?

Thanks.

Arnold

I fiddled around and got the None setting saved. Always redacting black text on a white page so white also works fine as the default.

All started by my desire to do redactions without a black box which I think was the default setting. I don't ever remember changing it.

Thanks.

Arnold

It appears I don't understand how this works. I expected with the attached page to see the pink background underneath with the None setting.

Are you able to save your settings so that None is the default choice for Redaction Color? I can't seem to do that here.

Thanks.

Arnold

The dialog box for changing Redaction Color has an option for None. This option can be selected, but does not seem to work. However, I can set it to any color and those settings seem to work fine. Should the None option work also?

Thanks.

Windows 7 sp2, PDFX 333.0

David, I may be partially responsible for this change. Back then I had hoped that at least Standard/Ribbon Layouts could be set in the default settings. Split View is easier to spot and change by placing an icon on the Toolbar. At the time I was reviewing a lot of pdf files and only using Split View...

Arnold

No problem. I am using the High accuracy setting for now which works fine. The increased speed of the Enhanced engine makes that accuracy setting quite usable.

Thank you for looking into this.

Arnold

Missed this screen.

Arnold

Just tried it again with these settings with same result. Tried it with Default OCR Engine and problem went away. Same settings, but different engine.

Arnold

Here you go. I can do the same with the regular OCR engine if need be.

Thanks.

Arnold

Yes I am using Enhanced OCR. Happens with any document I care to scan. I can open the Document Properties if I set it to Medium or Low accuracy, and there are no fonts. Have not tested it with regular OCR.

Arnold

If I use Image Insertion Options in order to run OCR on a scanned document, it only seems to work using the High accuracy setting. However, if I run OCR after the scan, using the Ribbon command, Low, Medium & High accuracy all seem to work fine. Is this only with my system? Windows 7 Home Premiu...

Arnold

Thank you very much for looking into this.

Arnold

Did some more snooping around. The Open Files dialog opens centered horizontally but not vertically, not only with the previously mentioned Combine Files feature, but also with New Documents from Text Files, Image Files & Rich Text Files. There may be more, but those are the ones I noticed. The ...

Arnold

+1, and in the previous post David referred to, I suggested adding Current Page to Insert Scanned Pages also.

Thanks.

Arnold

Just tried it again. Dragged regular Open Files dialog box to the center, opened a file and closed the program. On re-open of the program it is still centered just fine. But the minute I use Combine Files -> Add Files not only is it not centered, but the other one is now top left and no longer cente...

Arnold

I have the Open Files dialog box set to open centered on screen when I click the icon on the upper left. If I use the Combine Files feature to add files, I end up with essentially the same Open Files dialog box with a different initial display setting. However the dialog box is not centered in this ...

Arnold

I tried converting a pdf file I downloaded to an Excel workbook, and all of the cells were blank. I tried running OCR first and then doing the conversion with a similar result. I changed an Option in Preferences that needed to be changed, but that had no effect. I was able to get a usable, though no...

Arnold

Understood. I tried sanitizing this particular file simply because I had just downloaded it, and it was handy. I can't remember what the other file I tried it with was, but I think it's size increased substantially also.

Thanks.

Arnold

Love the new features and panes. 'Rename Opened Document' is going to be a serious time saver! Tried out the 'Sanitize Document' feature and there seems to be problems. Both files I tried it with really increased in size, while the contents seemed to get fuzzy looking. With the attached paper shredd...

Arnold

I moved the UI Option button down near Find & Search and put the Layout switch dialog in it's place. This might help me to keep track. Something similar to how the Split View lights up might indeed be good. I was scared to just delete the UI Options button as I did not see a shortcut for it anyw...

Arnold

I find that Split View is at least easy to spot when the next file is opened. Not so with Ribbon Layout, as I have documents set in Preferences to open in Fit Width zoom. Until I realize what has happened, it appears that a multi-page file only has 1 page. I then figure out that the page count is mo...

Arnold

I moved Quick Launch down next to Find & Search and it works fine. I do find that the input section consistently disappears when I import settings though. Restarting the Editor fixes the problem, so no big deal. Just wondered if it was just over here. Windows 7 sp1, build 8.0.331.

Thanks.

Arnold

+1 for adding current page in destination options

Arnold

I think something must have changed/improved in version 8. I deskewed a 64 kb file in version 7 and it resulted in a 416 kb file using Enhanced Scanned Pages. In version 8 using the same file and settings I ended up with a 46 kb file. The version 8 file looks cleaner. The skewed file was scanned in ...

Arnold

Got it. I will check Enhance Scanned Pages some more in version 8. In version 7 I have always had Adaptive Compression cut off and the slider set all the way to Small Size but still got big files. So it may be that version 8 works better than version 7 based on your results. Out of necessity still u...

Arnold

I used version 8 to create a deskewed version of the original file and it was only 263 kb. See post dated 04/12/19. Winstar88 then used the same file and came up with file size of 703 kb using Enhance Scanned Pages. Wouldn't the deskew process in either feature need to decompress the image, rotate, ...

Arnold

I tried the same thing but changed the Output setting to Searchable Image which I prefer. Size stayed about the same (see below). So definite improvement over what happens with the Enhance Scanned Pages feature. It does not appear possible to use this Deskew feature without using OCR also though. Ca...

Arnold

Thank you sir.

Arnold

With both OCR plugins in version 8, it seems that rotated text can be detected, corrected and recognized. I tested with text rotated 90 degrees in either direction with both plugins. The rotation was corrected and the text recognized with the Enhanced OCR plugin, but not with the regular plugin. Wit...

Arnold

I think it is great, but I have set shortcuts for pretty much every feature I use. Especially now with all the scanning I am doing. I will leave it for now and mess with it. I pretty much always end up liking features you guys add once I try them out a few times. Okay I will stop bugging you for tod...

Arnold

Of course, was not thinking. What I was hoping to do was hide the new search button, but leave the other icons still there. If that is not possible I may move some icons around.

Thanks.

Arnold

Got it. So at some point then will there be a new release of version 7 correcting the bug I found to start this thread? One thing I noticed with version 8 on Windows 7 is that if I disable Quick Launch, all icons on that right side disappear, not just Quick Launch. Do you guys see that over there? T...

Arnold

Did you guys change the decision on this? I tried to install 8.0.330 on a Windows XP computer and it did not work. Still wedded to XP for a few more weeks while I wind down our operation here.

Thanks.

Arnold

Over here using this feature still causes file size to increase quite a bit even if it is only deskewing the page. As I mentioned (I believe) in my 1st post, if I manually deskew a page using Transpose, there is no increase in file size. Please see below. Do you guys get the same results over there?...

Arnold

Great to hear. One of the things I will probably lose with a new job is being able to use the software of my choosing. We shall see. If that happens, I will continue using the Editor as much as I can. In the meantime, I have a lot more scanning to do with the program to wrap things up.

Thanks.

Arnold

I will be on it pretty soon. I think we will cease taking on new work very, very shortly, and then it will just be scanning in paperwork to be stored digitally. That will also be done using the Editor. At that point I will probably need to turn over the XP machine to the head office, and will only h...

Arnold

Thank you. Unfortunately, my plans to move to Windows 7 got derailed a few months ago. The Windows 7 machine belongs to me, but the Windows XP one belongs to the company. The company has decided to shut down operations completely, so I will soon be looking for a new job. Knowing that, it just made s...

Arnold

Will issues like this be looked into/fixed, or is 328.2 the last build that will run on Windows XP?

Arnold

Finally got some office time to check this out some more. The problem was happening in all programs if I tried to scan in Greyscale or Colour. So instead of just restarting the computer, I tried the old "cure all" of shutting the computer completely down and then restarting, and it fixed i...

Arnold

Over here there appears to be an inconsistency in the Split Pages feature in Windows XP. Adding a Horizontal Split seems to work but not appear in the Preview pane, while adding a Vertical Split works fine. Adding either type of split works fine in Windows 7. I used the same document on both the XP ...

Arnold

I do a lot of scanning with PDFX, almost all of it at 400 dpi Black & White. This still works perfectly, but occasionally I have to use Grayscale. Just tried to use Grayscale for 1st time with 328.2, and it scans only 25% of document and just stops. Maybe had a similar problem before, but cannot...

Arnold

Double clicking over here with a mouse does not appear to work with Windows 7 or XP.

Arnold

Don't remember having that problem with custom styles. One thing I would recommend to anyone who customizes PDFX is that they save their settings. Use File -> Manage Settings -> Export Settings, and keep the settings file where you can find it. This settings file should contain your custom styles, a...

Arnold

To add to my last post. If the Shift key is pressed it prevents the normal cursor - Hand, Typewriter, Text Box - from changing to a selection pointer under all scenarios it seems. This prevents the selection of the box using the mouse. So the Shift key causes selection handles to be hidden under cer...

Arnold

One other thing that I have noticed. Don't know if this ties in. Steps below to recreate. Create text using Typewriter or Text Box Press Escape key 3 times to completely deselect box Move cursor over box and hand automatically changes to a pointer (arrow) to allow box to be selected However if the S...

Arnold

With either the Typewriter tool or the Text Box tool. I create either one, then simply press Escape so the handles appear. Then if I use the "super" Nudge feature (Shift/Arrow Keys) the handles disappear. I can move the boxes around just fine using Shift/Arrow Key, but the minute I press t...

Arnold

I think it's possible that what Willie found may not be the whole problem, as I don't believe I have Exclusive mode turned on. Attached is my settings file for you guys to test with. I exported the settings without signature or spell checker info (last 4 check boxes).

Thanks.

Arnold

I reset the settings on the XP machine and tried it to see if that made a difference and it did not. Have not tried that on Windows 7, but I am pretty sure it will not make a difference on that machine either.

Thanks.
