For testing try to set Windows' double-click speed to its fastest setting. This way when you manage to expand a sub-tree you know that you clicked fast enough (even faster than enough). If you still do not see the page being displayed then something is wrong about your installation or setup. Which W...

You have to click a little bit slower than Windows' fastest possible double-click mouse control panel setting. And while I mention it, this Windows setting is respected by Editor where expanding a sub-tree is concerned, but not when switching pages. So if you set the Windows mouse double-click to it...

Timur Born

In order for a double-click on the content tree to take you to the page you have to double-click *very* quickly. And I mean very very. Expanding a sub-tree doesn't need such fast clicking, which is why things get so confusing.

Sure looks that way.

Is "medium" OCR quality fixed already? Quite some time ago it was written that the whole OCR engine would get an overhaul, but I never heard about it again.

Cortana uses Bing. You can workaround the limitation of Editor: - Make sure that Windows' mouse option to scroll over inactive windows is active. - Drag the Edge window to the right edge of your screen. This will activate split view and Windows asks you to click on a second window to decide which to...

Less experimenting, but more a necessity in order to keep colors in check when a wide-gamut display is used. It's time that Editor's color management gets fixed for good.

Thanks for pointing in the right direction, Willy.

Hello. Editor has some serious troubles displaying the following documents properly. All images are completely broken (just black,colored stripes or kind of inverted colors) and background colors of boxes and bars change when I change the zoom level. No such issues using Adobe Reader. https://produc...

What is the difference between using Stroke Adjust "Auto" and "On"? Seems to me that "Auto" and "On" are the same, in which case there should not be an "Auto" option at all. Anyway, for the time being I advice against using Stroke Adjust unless where it solves a specific problem in your PDF as menti...

Thanks for the quick fix, Ivan! I am looking forward to the next version.

Thanks for the quick fix and hint on a release date for the next version. Three questions: - That gradation bar in the upper center should be a shape, but Editor does not identify it as any image, text or shape content when I try the corresponding select option of the content pane. What is it then? ...

Timur Born

Maybe you set your Adobe X to resize the image to fit the printer margins and set Editor to keep the original document size? Your crop margins should not be bigger than the what your printer is able to print, something happening (far too) often with technical plans.

Hello everyone! I mentioned several time before that I don't entrust X-Change Editor with any color critical or large size printing jobs. One reason is the flawed color management, another reason is its bigger print job sizes due to how fonts are sent to printer drivers. What I did not expect, thoug...

HP Laserjet Pro 500 color MFP (M570dn). It's not a practical problem for me, because usually there is no reason to scan at 1200 DPI (the native optical resolution of the scanner is only 600 DPI anyway). But this was one way to consistently reproduce the issue that I experienced before while *not* us...

Acrobat Reader pre-renders several pages in advance (at least up to 8 pages towards reading direction and 1 page in the opposite direction), and so should Editor.

Timur Born

I found one consistent way of making Editor getting stuck at the "Scanning documents..." step: When I scan via TWAIN at 1200 DPI (flatbed) using either HP's native scan UI or using Editor's settings. There is no CPU/drive load happening while the popup remains on screen and the only way to end Edito...

I did a quick test using Teamviewer and Splashtop on an iPad to remote into my desktop. No discernible difference in drawing speed between viewing Reader and Editor other than Reader itself sometimes lagging when I switch two pages back and forth repeatedly. Keep in mind, though, that Editor still d...

Timur Born

I suggest that you scroll through a few dozen pages in a document to force Editor to cache its content and rendering, there virtually zero whiteout time on Editor's side then, because the whole page is already present in RAM and output as a whole.

Timur Born

No, I used my own desktop. Once I find time I can check in Parallels desktop on a Mac. Meanwhile you can check Task-Manager's GPU load indicator to see if any GPU acceleration really happens within the virtual environment with Adobe Reader or if the culprit lies somewhere else. Do you access the VDI...

Thanks for the hint, I will try to create new bookmarks from text. It doesn't seem that easy, though, depending on how much the document is formatted in my favor (for automatic bookmarking). I already stumbled over a problem with this that may need me to open a new thread if I plan to really use tha...

Timur Born

You most likely downloaded the Beta test PDF of the coming version 2, which likely differs from my version, but if bookmarks are created the same in it then it should be suffice to discuss the problem. The "flaw" in your logic is that you insist on only opening nested bookmarks when they are created...

Timur Born

I am surprised by this statement, because in all my tests Editor always rendered pages faster than Adobe Reader. There is one exception, though. Reader pre-renders and then caches several pages forward (or backwards depending on your page flipping direction) before you open them. Editor still does n...

It was the popup where it says "Scanning Documents..." with an animated bar. When I tried to reproduce it today it didn't happen. Both the computer and printer/scanner were turned off in between, so I assume some communication hangup between the two happened before. I will report back if it happens ...

I tried the zooming and it did not work with this document. This is why I wrote that all bookmarks only seem to point to pages, not sections of a page. They all seem to be positioned in the top left corner, at least that's what I can guess. nested_bm_editor_zoom.jpg Is there a way to make Editor sho...

Timur Born

Unfortunately I bought that PDF for $10 and thus am not allowed to share it. Just look at my screenshot. You can see that both the "Prequesites" and "Types of Feats" bookmarks share the same page (visible in the screenshot), yet the "Types of Feats" sub-tree is not expanded.

Timur Born

The scan dialog already *does* dynamically hide options (by emptying the corresponding dropdown menu) for the "Data Transfer Method" when WIA is chosen, and most of the other fields when the "Show native UI" option is disabled. So I would assume that doing the same for the "Sides" option would be qu...

Timur Born

Thanks for that and hopefully the fix also includes the obvious size differences.

Timur Born

In my document there are no "bookmark positions" other than the whole page. So if one page contains several bookmarks then they all point to the page, not a subsection of the page. So when the page is read then only the first bookmark is opened, but not the subsequent ones that also point to the sam...

Timur Born

Use a page with two or more bookmarks, with the first bookmark not being nested and the second (or later) bookmarks being nested. Editor will always activate the first bookmark of a page and thus does not expand the later bookmarks on the same page. editor_bookmark_tree.JPG This is even more relevan...

Timur Born

In this case the differences are present but subtle, whereas the differences in height with some characters always were rather obvious.

Timur Born

Just to mention it: The whole reason why I used WIA to begin with was that the Twain driver vanished on my system after I installed HP's universal print driver and removed the 2 years older dedicated print driver of my printer. I am back to the older dedicated one now, including Twain.

Timur Born

To my knowledge WIA does not offer a "native" mode and when the WIA driver is specifically selected in Editor then Editor removes the option to chose this. WIA_select.png But when Editor is set to use the Default driver, which happens to be WIA, then the option is usable again despite it not doing a...

Timur Born

I do wonder what you meant by writing that the letter "s" of the first word "This" is different? At least on Windows 10 Editor render this "s" quite close to how Adobe Reader renders it. Although differences are still discernible curved parts at least the height is the same.

Timur Born

Currently the option only works for one bookmark per page, though. So if a page contains one simple bookmark and a then a second bookmark that is nested then the nested bookmark does not get expanded automatically. Editor would have to check for all bookmarks on the current page in order for this to...

Timur Born

My suggestion would be to remove the option with WIA driver selection then, as it is not supported and only confuses users (such as me) into thinking it should work. I also noticed that Editor offers "native" mode for WIA drivers when the "Default" driver is chosen instead of the specific WIA driver...

Timur Born

I reinstalled the TWAIN driver, which does the duplex part on its own and then hands over all front and back pages to Editor. Nevertheless this should work using WIA, too. Windows Scan & Fax application can do duplex scans via WIA using the very same driver.

Timur Born

Hello.

When I scan something into Editor then the option to scan Duplex via "Hardware" only scans the front side of my pages, despite my scanner (HP Laserjet Pro 500 color MFP M570dn) being able to scan duplex.

I suspect that the communication between Editor and WIA doesn't work as expected?!

Both ZIP files contain one version that uses gray-scale antialiasing and one sub-pixel (Cleartype) antialiasing. So they are not directly comparable. The second ZIP file contains examples that are different in zoom level, too. I used the PDF to do a comparison between Editor and Adobe Reader at 200%...

Timur Born

This still begs the question why the Type 1 version keeps all characters at the same height, while the True Type version increases the height of (curved) characters? This is inconsistent at least, I would say even bugged. I noticed this uneven character height with various documents/fonts in the pas...

Timur Born

As sorry as I am to write this, but Editor's font rendering remains to be somewhat flawed, especially where vertical alignment and height is concerned. It's overall tendency to render many characters a bit larger in height compared to Adobe Reader is great for screen reading, but it's tendency to re...

I would like for the X button to show up on mouse-over only (aka combine the current hide option with a mouse-over action). This is how I work in Firefox, allowing tabs to show a wide title, but also being able to close a tab by mouse-click.

Timur Born

Furthermore you can hide the close [X] button to leave more space for text on tabs.

Timur Born

Sorry, but I still disagree. Of course I know that Stroke Adjust and Smoothing are two different things, but their combination defines the final output result and smoothing currently is the only way to make Editor display thin lines somewhat properly, while Stroke Adjust behaves rather strange (see ...

Thanks for the information.

I found it. What you have to do is to remove the "/_layouts/15/onedrive.aspx" part of the URL to land in another directory tree and then browse to the Documents directory. Alternatively you can replace the removed part of the URL with "/documents" to directly land in the Onedrive directory. Good to ...

at 100% things look good. Unfortunately, no. All examples below at 100% (0 pt stroke size), notice how only straight lines are properly affected by "Adjust Stroke". Curiously Editor *does* apply smoothing to straight lines, but only if Adjust Stroke is disabled and only as if "Enhance Thin Lines" w...
