Maybe look at expanding the Spell Checker to include a manual Find->Replace below it, that way it can be updated without a major change to the program? It would also benefit the Spell Checker to have a way to find words that were not in the dictionary. That way it's less UI changes for the programme...

Unfortunately the Adobe BlackWhite.icc is copyright protected by Adobe and not included in the icc files that they would allow other software developers to redistribute from what I found in my quick research. And Adobe only installs it with the full Acrobat, not with the Reader I believe. Hopefully ...

RMan

Vasyl, Thanks so much for looking into this. I'll gladly test the new version when you have a beta ready if you want to see if anything else comes up. It would be really nice to finally be able to not have to play with colors to get things to work for dark colored themes. One other thing I keep forg...

RMan

I'll agree but some government agencies I believe still spec that CAD PDF files should be submitted in monochrome. It would be really nice if instead of using an icc file if there was just a monochrome or grayscale option. It looks like my icc file was likely installed by an Adobe product but not su...

RMan

Try the Document->Convert Colors menus then choose the Black and White profile for the Conversion Profile and see how that works.

You might end up getting some gray colors I think if object had transparency.

RMan

As the other 2 of us apparently still using VB6 also have pointed out it VERY MUCH DOES work with VB6. At least they have still created something that will work with VB6 unlike most other companies today. While I don't agree with Tracker's decision to never fully fix the onEvent call for VB6 users, ...

RMan

You can get it to work with a couple workarounds that I talked about earlier in this post. I imagine it's not as simple as we think to redefine the event it to work with VB6 and yet still work with everything else and not cause problems with everyone else already using the SDK in other languages. He...

RMan

Also forgot depending on color combinations sometimes the Selection color blocks out text when you are selecting it in dialogs. Instead of the white text showing through the Selection it changes the text to a gray which you can't read then in these color combinations. In the Menu and Toolbar Font Si...

RMan

Thanks that works so much better!! I set it to: <color id="group.title" value="id:text" /> There's still a few more instances that it is using the Selection color and hence hard to read at times. By chance are there any options to control these in the Theme.xml file or a way to c...

RMan

It's really with both and I'm sure both related to the In terms of the end user products there is no option to save the settings for any plug in besides the spell checker. With the SDK you can load the settings prior to loading the plug in will use those settings. PDFEditor.Inst.LoadUserSettings PDF...

RMan

Was this resolved in the April build then because I can't seam to get it to work by modifying the theme.xml file?

RMan

Why do the various Plugins not support Exporting and Importing their settings along with the rest of the Editor setting so users can have a consistent set of settings if needed? Also I haven't tested the rest yet but the Sharepoint settings can be saved to the Registry to the HKCU through the PDFEdi...

RMan

Ueli, Our AcroPlot software (www.cadzation.com) can convert most hpgl and hpgl2 files to PDF in batch and our AcroPlot Matrix is based off the PDF-XChange Editor. We do hope to have a plug-in to the PDF-XChange Editor in the future but no definite date set as we never seam to get enough free program...

RMan

Thanks. So close but they want to do different markups on all of the copies then print them out and I guess not save them.

RMan

Is it true that even in the latest release if we set the SrcInfo.CustFileName that we still have to jump through hoops in using events and such to have it actually save to that filename? Or is there another property or method I'm missing to say create a blank document (or open a new one) and set the...

RMan

Is it possible to open multiple copies of the same file without us making a copy of the file to a temporary file and opening it from there?

I realize if possible the other copies would be read only but we have a client who wants to open say 10 tabs of the same file.

RMan

Thanks so much. That will be awesome and can't wait for the new release!

RMan

Is the Find/Replace function still missing in the latest release and what is the hold up on this very useful feature. It appears that through the Spell Check you have the ability all there programatically and likely just need the Search Pane updated to add some replace features?

RMan

Alex,

Can you please confirm if this ability has been added into the new release or not?

RMan

You are correct it is because we cannot control the header color and your calculations always provide a color for the group headers or for the message box text that appear to be optimized for the background being a lighter gray to look good on. They appear to be based on the Selection, Text, Face co...

RMan

And here's a quick mock up of how I think it should look with the Header Text the same as the Dialog Text. To me it's much cleaner, more modern, and you shouldn't ever have a conflict in being able to cleanly read things.

RMan

Unfortunately for our use the new build is even worse. Please, please tell me there is a theme.xml or a programming call we can use to set the color that we need. We are trying to use a modified theme file to give users a true dark colored user interface to work with which is more modern looking. Th...

RMan

Thanks. Is there a somewhat easy way to convert them to base content objects though instead of XForms? The customer would like it to where someone would have to use a content editing tool to remove it and not just use the Manage Watermarks. I'm basically being too lazy to use the addText or addImage...

RMan

Is there any way to flatten things like the Watermarks, Headers and Footers, Bates Numbering? It would be really great if these features had an option to create as Content Items like the Add Image because the dialogs really work well for users but the users still think that it has to be flattened to...

RMan

Awesome!!!! Thanks so very much. That makes the code so much cleaner.

RMan

Is there an easy way to retrieve the last used Watermark paramerters and assign it to the Options to create a new watermark? Also a way to assign the Options to one of the Custom (Saved) Watermark Settings? This is the function I was looking at using to add the watermarks. https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchang...

Also it appears the highlighting on your drop down listboxes are correct.

RMan

I figured I would add this to the same thread since it's along the same bug. The Editor is calculating the highlighting wrong in the dialog box textboxes and such. In the Editor Window itself it works properly for text highlighting. If you compare to how Windows and programs normally handle text hig...

RMan

Awesome., Thanks so much.

RMan

Any news on this yet and will there be a way in the next release to get and set the value for inactive (disabled) text?

RMan

Thanks but I'm not sure if that is going to catch all of the cases. Is there a case where a file might be read in by memory or by another plug in that might not fire one of the ToDoc or DocOpen operations? At the very least I see these operations at the very least that all fire instead of the op.ope...

RMan

So the final piece is how do we best use the events the get the doc object for a file no matter if it's opened, drag and dropped, imported, etc? Best thing I could figure out was to cache a value when the e_document_initialized and then when the e_document_activated is fired hook the callback for th...

RMan

Thanks. I honestly feel stupid for not thinking of this before but I found away around the programming call that was not supported in VB6 for this. So I finally have it working based on the sample code you had posted before!!! The declaration for SetStyle has unsupported types defined for the parame...

RMan

Thanks. Just trying to make it easier for your users also. It's happened before to me and before I had to try the udpate again so it downloads the file again and gives the same error. This time I remembered luckily and just went to the folder and manually ran it but users should not have to do that.

RMan

By chance has a theme setting or programatic setting been added yet for this? Hooking in doesn't work in the language we are using and in the latest version the bookmarks are still unreadable for dark window colors. 1.) If the window background color is pure black then it will swap the black bookmar...

RMan

Was a fix for this ever implemented? It's still very annoying depending on what colors you pick for the UI interface.

RMan

The Updater doesn't work on my machine either most of the time. It downloads it and then fails to start it as the administrator as can be seen in the screen capture. I know from my own programmig that if I do a shell call with runas option that it prompts for Administrator rights so I'm not sure wha...

RMan

It appears that you are using a formula based on the text color and windows color when it comes to the disabled text color in menus and such. The problem is if you use certain colors and especially light or white colored text. Is there a way to programatically change it or can we change it in the th...

RMan

Thanks but unfortunately it isn't a command I'm trying to update and I can't get the commands from the plugin it appears. Set oUiInst = AxPXV_Control1.Inst.GetExtension("UIX") Set oCmnd = oUiInst.CmdManager.Cmds.Find(sCommandName) Works for the main commands sCommandName = "cmd.view.r...

I was looking to give users a better description of a 3D Model not displaying but I don't see a function to SetLocalStr I can do this to get the ID number of it and find out what the string value is. lID = AxPXV_Control1.Inst.Str2ID("u3d.3DSceneFailed.str") sString = AxPXV_Control1.Inst.Ge...

Is there an undocumented value to add root bookmarks using the op.document.insertPages function? I see there is a flag (IPF_OCG_CopyWithAddRoots) for the IPXC_Pages::InsertPagesFromDoc and IPXC_Pages::InsertPagesFromDocEx functions but I don't see anything for the op.document.insertPages that will d...

RMan

Worked great for me also. Thanks so much!!!

RMan

Sorry I misunderstood the replies and thought you guys had found a fix for this release. I think it's a solution worth implementing short term instead of waiting another 2 to 6 months for it to be fixed so hopefully your programmers use the idea and fix it for all users. Graphic Design Professionals...

RMan

So it looks like in the new build it is not fixed or am I missing something? If I have a PDF with color say 83,187,187 in it the only way you can get a printout using that color is if you use the Monitor RGB - Pro Photo RGB color profile which then doesn't display in the proper color on users monito...

RMan

That is awesome to hear. Thank the team for me as this will make a bunch of clients happy and hopefully they will stop bugging me.

RMan

Daniel, This isn't a driver problem, it's a problem in the Editor's Printing Code itself from what I'm seeing. Especially when you can click on the Print As Image and see the colors change in the preview it's a big problem. If they can't fix it the short term fix would be to in the print routines se...

RMan

I believe the problem is that the Editor is using the display device context to generate the output rather than the printer device context. You also have to watch things because Printer Drivers can also have a color profile associated with them which might change the color that is actually sent to t...

RMan

Here's a PDF to walk you through the steps I was testing. Please let me know if this makes sense and if you can reproduce it on your end.
