Here is what happens over here in 3 steps Use Typewriter or Text Box to create text Press Escape key 1 time and handles appear Press Shift key and handles disappear (text can still be moved using arrow keys) However Use Typewriter or Text Box to create text Press Escape key 3 times to completely des...

Arnold

The main problem was fixed with the release of 328.1. Thank you. I find that the selection handles still disappear with the "super" Nudge feature/shortcut. The handles do not disappear when I use the "regular" and "micro" Nudge shortcuts. To reproduce it, use the Typewr...

I understand. I open tabs with a single click. If I have a number of them open, I always click the tab first to look at the content before I actually close it. Just would save moving from button to button. No big deal. I thought double clicking a tab did not do anything, and just assumed everyone us...

Arnold

Is it possible to make double click an alternative to the middle click button for closing tabs?

Arnold

Build 328.1 is already available for download and the problem seems to have been corrected. It still reads 328.0 in the downloads section but the date is December 16th and it is 328.1.

Arnold

I think it is this new setting in Preferences

Arnold

That is what I was referring to, importing fdf's. I have tried it again with 328.0 with a few other fdf files and they imported fine. I imported a lot of fdf files with 327.1 though and never had a problem.

Arnold

I believe I saw in the revision notes about .fdf files being fixed. As far as I could tell they were working okay in 327.1. In 328.0 they do not appear to be working. I will do some more testing when I can. Does this happen on your end? Might that be part of the same problem?

Thanks.

Arnold

I am seeing the same thing over here on the forms I looked at.

Arnold

Does not appear to be fixed in build 328.0.

Arnold

Thank you.

Arnold

See screen shots below of the differences when creating a new blank pdf in both Version 7 and Version 6 with same settings regarding page layout. Version 7 does the same thing in Windows XP or 7. I reset settings in 7 and then imported my regular settings but nothing changed. 2018-11-21 20_42_36-Pre...

Arnold

In Version 7, build 327.1, I have Default Page Layout set to Continuous in Preferences. If I open a single page document, this setting is not respected, and pdf's are opened in Single Page mode. If I then scan additional pages into this one page document, it remains in Single Page mode. If the docum...

Arnold

Found the same file and everything seems to be working fine now.

Thanks.

Arnold

Thank you. I don't use that feature very often. I first saw it a week ago or so, and thought I had screwed something up.

Arnold

I can use either one of 3 arrange tools to rotate a stamp, oval, etc. by set number of degrees. If I then use one of those same tools to rotate it again or back, the stamp disappears. Tried it in both Windows XP and 7. Same thing happens if rotation handle is used first, followed by one of the rotat...

Arnold

No problem. Should have spotted that it was just the handles missing myself. Saturday was the 1st time in a while I have had to fill out a form of any size. I think the handles show up on lines, arrows, etc.

I really like the new "Nudge" settings introduced in this build.

Thanks.

Arnold

Please look at the screenshots, the 325.1 boxes are "automatically selected" as set in preferences and the 327.1 ones are not.

Arnold

It happens with Windows XP sp3 and Windows 7 sp1. If I type something with the Typewriter tool or in a Text Box and hit escape I get a different result with 327.1 than I used to. That was helpful when filling out long forms. I reset settings and tried it to see if it was my settings that caused it, ...

Arnold

I have "Auto-select newly created comment" enabled in Preferences. This no longer seems to work with the Typewriter tool or the Text Box tool. The last build it seems to have worked with was 325.1. Is this by design?

Arnold

I tried turning off smoothing, but it makes the Transformed pdf look very thin and unpleasant looking (see attached). It even makes the original scanned document look like that. My thinking was that since a scan was basically a picture, then using Transfrom in this manner was simply rotating a pictu...

Arnold

In the last couple of days I noticed that Transform changed the look of a few skewed pages I received. This is something that I did not think happened. I scanned in the attached pdf using the Editor, and then used the Transform feature on it as a test. The text in the rotated document definitely loo...

Arnold

I will try to do some more testing and get something together. When I use Auto for Text Hinting over here it fixes rendering with this font, but makes Arial look crunched and dark. Seems to be on 2 computers with both Windows XP and 7. In another thread Ivan did some testing and not see this on your...

Arnold

As others have noted, the rendering of the Editor 327.0 with hinting disabled matches that of the Viewer. I originally posted about the font New Letter Gothic in the OP and then again on September 5th. The Viewer has always rendered this font perfectly. The Editor has to have hinting enabled to rend...

Arnold

A follow up to my previous post dated 10/03. Based on what I have seen today the stuffed look of some paragraphs has nothing to do with hinting being on or off. The files I was looking at had both portrait and landscape pages. When the horizontal scroll bar is visible it changes the spacing between ...

Arnold

I did not make screenshots or even note which files I was looking at as I normally do. I was overwhelmed with work when they came in. I will keep Hinting on, as I have to go back through those files to complete the bids. Thanks for checking it out. I think I prefer how Arial looks with no hinting, b...

Arnold

The Transform works brilliantly but it sure is time consuming as it has to be done page by page AFAIK. The Enhanced Scanned Pages feature could be so, so useful if it could deskew pages in a pdf like the Transform feature (ie no file size increase). I regularly receive pdf's that are scanned very po...

Arnold

I received a few surveys from a consultant yesterday who uses Arial for body text. I have Text Hinting set to Auto. I read through a lot of their surveys so I am very familiar with how they look. I was struck by how big the type looked and how "stuffed" paragraphs look at Fit Page magnific...

Arnold

I printed the test file to priPrinter using build 327 and it was just as good as the previous results with the Viewer (see attached). The settings used in 327 were Auto 300 dpi. I have never been able to achieve results like that with the Editor before. When I viewed the attached file though I got a...

Arnold

The text hinting pretty much straightens out the problem with the font I posted about previously. However, it is a little different when viewing a pdf created from an Excel spreadsheet. The font used there was Arial 12 point. The e's do look cleaner, but the a's do not. They are darker and somewhat ...

Arnold

Installed new version on Windows XP and 7. In XP only, the U3D Plugin is in the Plugins X86 directory but does not show up in Preferences -> Plugins over here. I think that is the only additional plugin. Other than that, running smooth so far.

Thanks.

Arnold

Would the bitmap problem discussed here explain why I have always had bad results when printing color documents to priPrinter from the Editor? I thought it was a filter of some sort causing the blurriness. Please see attached. I have always run print jobs through priPrinter because I need it's featu...

Arnold

I changed the description of the security setting and tried using it a couple of times. It seems to have fixed it the problem.

Thanks.

Arnold

This reminder continues to pop up even if I check the box not to be reminded again. Isn't it supposed to permanently go away?

Thank you.

Arnold

Here are the screen shots. Over here, this pdf looks different when viewed in the Editor and the Viewer on both XP and 7 machines. The very first word in the screen shot "This" has an "s" at the end that looks different. Using another font is not something I am going to do. I use...

Arnold

Sorry I have not replied to your posts, I have been on a project out of town for weeks. Before I left, I had intended to prepare these files to send over (see attached zip file). In preparing them today, it appears to be mainly with the file created using priPrinter. The problem disappears if the sa...

Arnold

That is how I hoped it would work. I will almost exclusively use 1 signature, as I anticipate most people will. Even without the shortcut, this feature is really useful and will save me a lot of scanning.

Thanks.

Arnold

I don't know if Form Fields are considered annotations or not, but they also get erased by the Merge Pages feature. I discovered this by accident when I merged the wrong pdf.

Thanks.

Arnold

No problem, hope at some point that changes. Just wanted to make sure it was not something I was doing wrong. This feature has become useful because of a digital signature problem on my Windows 7 machine. From what I have tried and learned so far, I cannot fix that without reinstalling Windows. Not ...

Arnold

Just to be sure I understand. See below where I have set Shift S as a shortcut key for the menu item. Is that supposed to work, or is just not possible to set shortcut keys of any type for this feature?

Thanks.

Arnold

If I right click on one of the signature files and select Properties, there is an option to set a shortcut key, but it does not seem to work. I tried setting a shortcut key to the actual Documents -> Signatures & Initials menu item, but it did not seem to work either. 2018-07-23 10_50_07-Greensh...

Arnold

I have started using Documents -> Signatures & Initials. I found an option in the Properties of the signature items themselves to add a shortcut. Since this feature works well, I decided to add one. Once the shortcut was added though, it would not work in Windows XP or 7. Am I missing something?...

Arnold

Was any consideration given to David P's request in the original post of this thread? I was looking through another survey today that had 24" x 36" pages mixed in with 8.5" x 11" pages. On some files I just split the file up to make it easier, but other files such as this one hav...

Arnold

I think you can do most of that using File -> New Document -> From Image Files

Arnold

Thank you.

Arnold

I do understand that the pages can be extracted prior to merging. However, when you are in the middle of selecting pages to merge and you realize you want to create a new file, it is then time consuming to back out and go into extract mode and choose the pages again, etc. Obviously you guys would be...

Arnold

Excellent. Thank you.

Arnold

Thanks. I think it is. Just needs to work the same when Keytips are both on and off. I noticed it because I have different settings on the Windows 7 & XP computers re Keytips for some reason.

Arnold

I think being able to access the Menu even if it is hidden is great. It saves screen real estate while still allowing the use of the Menu through shortcut keys. Does not seem to hurt anything. Couldn't it be set to work whether the Menu is hidden or visible?
