Sorry Dimitar

my fault. Seem to be a problem by incident. I should have tried again before posting - and runs fine now.

Peter2

I have some PDF, made with Ghostscript and PDF-Creator. It contains metadata - "document title" and "author". When I display it with "PDF-X-Change Edit", file properties, both data contain an incredible long string like "\376\377\00\00P\00:\...." The same is d...

BTW:

Running OCR in two steps (page 1-90, 91 - 178) brings fine results.

Peter2

Version 8.0.333 I have a PDF, 88 MB, 178 pages DIN A4, coloured, 300 dpi, scanned from computer-printed pages. The OCR function (German, Accuracy: High) ran up to page 143/178 and then there was no progress. Progress bar was moving, CPU was running for full load of one CPU, RAM was no problem, but i...

Hi Paul

I have Intel video, but it should be not in use because I have a Nvidia Geforce. For me it is OK when you know the issue and ist background; I will use the standard print-command which works fine with PDF.

Enjoy the weekend!

Same problem with Build 333

Peter2

Build 332
When I start the "outlook addin", it ends up with am error "Failed to convert web page".

Peter2

We have a HP Plotter with an integrated PDF controller, so we can send files to it. The processsing is done inside the plotter. We have different tools to upload (to send) the PDF files to the plotter: a web-GUI or small tools (Goplot; Drop&Print) which are based on the standard command: "c...

@sschramm

just because of curiosity: Where does the PDF come from?
It is a drawing - is it from AutoCAD? If yes, there is a setting in Autocad which creates the frames (I suppose so ...)

Peter

Peter2

Thanks Will.

Have a great time!

Peter2

I tried to download the manuals for 2.5.308 / 309, but the link goes only to the Editor-page and there is no download.
Bug or feature?

Peter2

Fine features, both not always easy to ffind.

Thanks to both!

Peter2

:( That's it ... But its confusing. It is called "Choose Input Files", but it is not. It is "Options for later chose of input files". I always tried to add files here And "Select file list.." is translated in german with "Select files" - same confusion. BTW: W...

Peter2

Every time I define a tool (e.g. "Extract pictures from PDF") and pres "Run", then I get a standard "File Open - Dialogue", but not the dialogue from your screenshot.

Peter2

Hi Stefan

this is my window:

Peter2

Some time ago I failed, now I failed again:

How to add files with drag&Drop to the file-list of PDF-tools?
(In version 5 (4'') I had no problems, but the current version uses another logic ..)

Peter

Peter2

Thanks daniel

fine for me.

Peter2

Now I disabled the option, restarted - and now I get the same message as above: "Failed to convert web page".

But my main question is: Why is the button availabke in Microsoft Explorer? What should it do there?

Peter2

I can display the button and start the command, but there is an error for "Save as.."

"File not found. Check the filename and try again."

(But not important for me - I don't use IE)

Peter2

Paul

I have build 331 and this behaviour:

https://autode.sk/2YpDqnq

As described, if the second result is already on the page, it "jumps aside" and does not center the new result.

Peter2

Hi Paul I think you defined it correctly. I expected that this would be easier - just like drag&drop from Explorer, but I now tried with different software which uses tabs - Firefox, UltarEdit, XNView, Autocad - and none of them does what I mean. So this seem to be really rather tricky. So lets ...

Peter2

I have "PDF-XChange IE Plugin", integrated in Explorer, but it does not work - "Failed to convert web page" (as expected...)

Is the button a bug or a feature?

Peter

Peter2

Standard behaviour: - search a text - click next - next - next - it zooms to next - next - next But: If the "next search result" is already displayed on current page, there is no real "zoom to it". It is only selected and displayed. That's OK for text-documents, where "next&...

Peter2

Hi Daniel maybe you see it too complicated (or I see it to simple). I don't want to drag single pages from navigation bar. I want to drag entire files - click on the register (the tab) and drag it somewhere. Like Firefox with multiple websites - drag(drop a tab and it creates a new session with this...

Peter2

Hi Will

in Ctrl+T (Preview pane) is just "looks like" I can drag&drop. I select and drag and drop - but there is no result. Neither with single page nor with Ctrl+A all pages.

Recommentation because of own experience:
And check if the files are really uninstalled / removed from the program folder!

Peter2

Short time ago you added the function "drop file to recyccle bin" - that's fine. How about other features, like - "rename current file" - "enable drag and drop" (from opened file in Editor to Mail or to another folder) Already possible? Or a feature for the future? Peter

Peter2

For user-defined pages, you have the option "Eigene" in German language versions. That's fine, but this page - if I'm not wrong - appears as untranslated "Custom size" in the list of available paper-format.

Not that heavy, but maybe it can be fixed (= translated) sometimes?

That's fine, thanks.

Edit - deleted, because useless copy of the posting above.

Peter2

Hell Daniel the idea for itself is OK for me, but the handling is totally confusing - as described above. I select an option ("Images"), the edit box confirms my decision, but the software does not care and uses an hidden (not visible in dialogue without explicit opening) setting. This cou...

Peter2

Peter2

Hi Will

the problem is in the session itself. I change it in printer-properties, but it does not accept it.
I will send a link to a screencast to supoort ..

Peter2

Thanks Daniel,

OK for me now.

Peter2

Peter2

I have problems to define the option for "save as: path" .. In the dialogue, I can select what I want - from menu or from "Browse", and always it writes the selected path to the input field. But nevertheless - the selection "Last used path" stays always toggled, and the...

Peter2

Thanks, Will

it is not that big issue - just a little bit confusing. Maybe it can be in the future with an adapted installation function? (But, on the other way, how many users have installed both software packages.. ??

)

So, minor priority.

Peter2

Thanks Will

for advice and new features. I will investigate more (on Bricscad side).

Peter

Peter2

I made 2 PDF, from Bricscsad with PDF XChange Lite. Huge paper size, only a few simple vector lines in drawing. a) Setting in Bricscad "Print transparency" -> result: empty_transparency.pdf b) Setting in Bricscad "Not Print transparency" -> result: empty_notransparency.pdf In the...

On my PC I have Adobe DC + XChange Viewer + XChange Editor + XChange Pro (all in German, all in test mode). When I check the File-properties in Explorer (Alt+Enter), I have the Tab "PDF-Information" twice: - one in English, without "XFA-data" - one in German, with XFA-data pdf_fi...

V8.0.331.0 I have a PDF, made from Word, 10 pages, and want to crop the white space around it. - I cropped the first page - OK. - I repeated the command for all pages: page 1 is cropped to nearly nothing, page 10 is cropped to small. It seems that there is a confusion with "calculate the croppi...

Peter2

I'm curious about the results here - I think I had a similar problem here:

Now we have V8 - time to update (or to remove the version number ...

)

Peter

Strange ..

the uninstall (I had 2 entries in UninstallView from Nirsoft) uninstalled already nothing. Finally after "uninstallation" I renamed the program folder and installed it new. A mass of files was different - some older, some newer. But now it is OK with version and licence.

Peter

Peter2

Hi Will thanks for investigation. I'm sorry - I just found at that it happened with that strange software where I reported problems with overlaying layers before. It uses a rather old "print command" where nobody knows what really happens. I just tested with Firefox and Autocad - and both ...

I know - when downgrading a version it should be uninstalled first and freshly installed. But nevertheless (or just for confirmation) - I had installed 7.324.3 and downgraded via simple "installation"to 7.324.2. Now I have the mess - the exiting file has file-date and file-version 324.2 (v...

Peter2

Thanks Will

but also the string in PDF-metadata "Producer" is the same "[GDI]" for XPS settings?

Peter2

I tried the same print with "GDI" and "XPS" - and got the same results in

- PDF-Props / Producer: PDF-XChange Lite (8.0 build 331) [GDI] [Windows 10 Professional x64 (Build 17763)]
- File size
- File compare (99%)

Is this correct?

Peter

Peter2

Thanks Stefan

that's the right source for further investigations.

Have a fine weekend.
