Thanks for your feedback

Best regards.

Normally it should be possible to restore the toolbars, in the following way: - first exit Full Screen mode, via F11 - after this, press F9 to restore the menu bar - finally, right click the menu bar, and check/activate the toolbars that you need Note: if the toolbars should not restore or not resto...

Hello, 1) Done with pleasure. It is not always easy to clearly (and also shortly) explain why a specific advise is being given. Mostly there are a few good reasons for it. 2) I agree that Lite is indeed a light (and also a slightly "different") version of the PDF-XChange Standard printer, ...

Did you already try to combine your PDFs via the creation of a new document?

You can do this in PDF-XChange Editor > File-menu > New Document > Combine Files into a Single PDF

Best regards.

Willy Van Nuffel

Not agreed Patrick. We are talking here about the Viewer. I suppose you checked within the Editor. When myself, I look there, it shows indeed like in your print screens. Is that possible? Please see the attached PDF (screenshots from the Viewer). Best regards. EDIT: I just saw that I made the test w...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hello Patrick and Xuanliu,

It seems like the problem is due to the "thin lines" option.

You can switch this option ON or OFF, with CTRL + 5

When trying this in PDF-XChange Viewer, you will immediately see the difference.

Best regards.

Willy Van Nuffel

Thanks David for sharing the results of your tests. Probably the difference in file size between Lite and PrimoPDF is due to the fact that there are no options for down-sampling, nor for compression (in Lite). Besides this, let us hope that Tracker Software is prepared to further fine-tune their Lit...

1) Do you wait long enough after having clicked on "Open with ..." ? This action can take a while (several seconds) before every possible image editor on your computer has been found. I can confirm you that on my computer (Windows 10 - 32-bit - PDF-XChange Editor V6 build 322.5), the "...

Did you already verify the stamps at the following location:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor\3.0\Stamps

See following topic:

This question is already open for a while, without follow-up from Tracker Support? If I remember correctly, the dpi-setting had to be set to a value higher than 300, to make that fonts are not converted to bit-map. https://www.pdf-xchange.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=16664 I do not have Visio...

Similar question a few days ago:
https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... 4&p=114897

??? Indeed a question for Tracker Development, if it would be possible to show a warning in case of 3D content. ???

Willy Van Nuffel

Hello, The original problem was to be able to crop pages and to print x-numbers of pages to single pages. When you are using default Windows and/or MS Office fonts in your Word documents, there is no immediate reason to embed these fonts in the PDF. Embedding is only needed in case if your PDF will ...

Seems to be a known problem with the SharePoint plugin:
https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... 3&p=114675

Disabling the SharePoint plugin should be a workaround, still for build 322.5

Willy Van Nuffel

Hello Korp, When you run character recognition (OCR) on a PDF that contains scanned information, a transparent text-layer is being add on top of the scanned-layer. In PDF-XChange Editor, you can run the OCR feature via the Document-menu > OCR Page(s). When you close the PDF, you should get the quest...

Willy Van Nuffel

Thanks David for your answer. The problem seems to be rather complicated, probably because of specific fonts and/or characters used in your Word document. I am afraid that without an example Word document from your side, it will not be possible (for me) to reproduce the problem. If it goes about con...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hello, For a short test, I have made a Word document with a few different fonts in regular, italic and bold. Then I printed the document with the Lite printer, and in its "Font" settings I inserted the fonts (that I have used in the Word document) into the list of "Never Embed Fonts&q...

Willy Van Nuffel

The most easy solution would indeed be having a "join multiple pages to single page" feature in PDF-XChange Editor. Currently, you will have to work to a solution where you have no more 'embedded' fonts in the resulting PDF that comes from Word, and because you like to crop the 30 mm margi...

Willy Van Nuffel

Sorry Stefan to have beaten you. You know, my only goal is trying to be helpful. :-) Now that I am back on this topic, I still have the following question: Why is there so little information about the PDF-XChange "Convert to PDF" add-in for Internet Explorer? On the help page of PDF-XChang...

Willy Van Nuffel

PDF-XChange Standard (printer) includes an add-on for Internet Explorer that makes it possible to convert a web page to a PDF. This goes via an additional toolbar. Via Options > Links (in that toolbar), you will find the option "Generate Links in Result PDF File". https://www.pdf-xchange.c...

Willy Van Nuffel

If I understand it correctly, you can not see what font has been used in the typewriter comments because that font is not available/installed in your current version of Ubuntu. Maybe you can get idea of what font it could have been, by looking at the font information of your document, via the File-m...

Willy Van Nuffel

Thanks for that fkbreitl. Now, for me, it is completely clear what you would like to see in the Editor. We have already read from Tracker Support that PDF-XChange Editor's toolbars are in a revision state. Hopefully for you, Tracker Development will make it possible to arrange Editor's features not ...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hello, For me, "horizontally" means from left to right, and "vertically" means from top to bottom. Unfortunately, to me, it is not completely clear what kind of arrangement you (fkbreitl) would like to see. If it is something that can be achieved in the Viewer, then, would it be ...

Willy Van Nuffel

Deactivating the "Restore the last used page layout ..." will indeed respect 'all' the document's settings, but in case if that check box is ON, it is just interesting that the following three options can be selected and mixed, independently from each other: - page layout - page zoom - las...

Willy Van Nuffel

Just try from within PDF-XChange Editor V6 build 322.5: - click Edit > Preferences > File Associations - at "As default application for PDF files", select Restore; click the Apply... button (= NOT the Apply button at the bottom of the dialog box) - click Yes to confirm - below "Curren...

Willy Van Nuffel

Problem confirmed and indeed also reported by Appenzeller a while ago: https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=26694&p=112793 In PDF-XChange V6 build 322.5 the movement via the cursor keys is always 1 point at a time (whatever the zoom level). With the SHIFT key + cursor, it is 10...

Willy Van Nuffel

Myself, I am not able to reproduce the wrong behavior with the perimeter tool in PDF-XChange Editor V6 build 322.5

Can you please post a sample PDF ?

Willy Van Nuffel

Please check if it has something to do with 'snapping to grid'.

You can turn this option on/off via Edit > Preferences > Measurement.

Willy Van Nuffel

How do I quickly access variations of a specific Tool?
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowle ... cific-Tool

Willy Van Nuffel

Yes, I mean something like that. Currently, we already have the check boxes "Respect document's settings" for "Page Layout" and "Page Zoom" (Magnification), and - if possible - it would be good to have an additional one for "Open to page" (Respect document's &...

Willy Van Nuffel

Yes, you can rename an already existing settings-file to whatever you like, and you can use as many settings files as you like (one by a time of course).

Just take care to use meaningful names, to avoid the risk of mixing them.

Best regards.

Willy Van Nuffel

EDIT: I've changed my thoughts and replaced the original message by this new one. There is indeed a difference in behavior when the PDF's initial view setting "Open to page" has been touched or not. If yes, then the activated option "Restore the last used page layout and zoom settings...

Willy Van Nuffel

The last point was just a means to see the problem, not to resolve it.

Maybe, at this moment, the best solution is to OCR the document(s).

Willy Van Nuffel

Hi Delain Myself, I am little bit afraid that such a things are "internal kitchen" for Tracker Software. Even though, once that a ticket has been resolved with a new release, you can find it in the version history: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product/pdf-xchange-editor/history Best regards.

Willy Van Nuffel

Did you already try if works better by changing the "Proximity" setting in the Search pane (via the Options... button)? There, you can make a choice between: - Only adjacent words - Words from the same paragraph - Words from the same page - Words from the same document Based on your very c...

Willy Van Nuffel

Can you please verify if you are working with the latest release of PDF-XChange Editor, namely Version 6.0 (build 322.4). You can easily check this via the Help-menu > About. With this version myself I do not see a problem (on my laptop) and the registry key remains after closing and restarting the ...

Willy Van Nuffel

Thanks Will for making this clear. I have got another try, and yes indeed, when the Text Rendering Mode is set to Auto, the text in the original PDF is still text in the resulting PDF, when multiple pages per sheet are printed. This is good to know, because at the end myself I was going to mix optio...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hello everyone, I have tried the above settings to print multiple pages from a PDF to single pages in a new PDF (via Outline for Embedded Fonts), but it seems like the text from the original PDF still prints like individual shapes in the new PDF, not text. So, it can not be used for further editing....

Willy Van Nuffel

Hi Will and David, Even though today it is not (yet) possible to join multiple pages directly 'within' PDF-XChange Editor V6, you can achieve this via PDF-XChange Lite V6 FREE printer. You do NOT need third party software for this. https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product/pdf-xchange-lite/download?fileid...

Willy Van Nuffel

Strange behavior confirmed.

Even though it can work correctly (for a while):

When you pass via Customize Toolbars > Commands > All commands > Next Page > Properties, followed by OK and Close, then it works correctly.

Close the PDF, re-open, and the wrong behavior is back again ...

Hello, 1) If it goes about saving the settings ... At the bottom left of the "Add background" dialog box there is an option to save the current settings. (Document-menu > Background > Add) Isn't that useful ? 2) If it goes about calculating the horizontal and vertical difference between a ...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hello, In your uploaded ZIP file, I only find a settings file (*.xces), no print screens. For a test, I imported this settings file, and indeed the "New document" entry was gone out of the File-menu. But, easily enough, when I execute a reset of the File-menu, the "New document" ...

Willy Van Nuffel

I do not know for sure if you tried instructions in my edited answer.

If yes, then I am sorry that it does not help.

Willy Van Nuffel

Reset of "all" your settings is rather "drastic". So, first please restore your saved settings. After this, please try to resolve the problem by only resetting the File menu, in the following manner: - right click on whatever of your toolbars - click "Customize Toolbars...&q...

Hello Stefan and Ivan, In fact I had two remarks: 1) it seems like at the first time use it was not possible to drag-and-drop the items in the Fields pane >> Still to investigate ? 2) drag-and-drop does not work when Alphabetical order is checked. This behavior is considered as correct. >> Confirmed...

Hello, I do not know if it can help someone, and how strictly PDF-XChange Editor is making a difference between "large" images and let's say "normal" images, but in times where PC's were not yet as performant as they do now, an option was (and still is) available for "Displa...

Willy Van Nuffel

I'm happy to read that you finally got the print that you needed.

Willy Van Nuffel

Hello,

It seems like you posted a similar question about a year ago:

Hello, Did you read the following information: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgebase/62-How-do-I-create-stamps-for-use-in-the-Stamp-Tool I tried it out - following the instructions for PDF-XChange Editor - and had no problem at all.

Hi Jim, I am a little bit surprised about your new question "How do I print them?". Well, here we go: - open the PDF in PDF-XChange Editor - click File > Print - in the Print dialog box, on top, first select your destination printer - then, via the Page Setup button: - - select the paper s...

Hello Jim I do not know how you have managed, but I have done a bit of work for you. When you zoom in to the original document via de Split Pages dialog box, you can easily see the marks where the pages should be cut. I have used these marks to even cut the borders away. The resulting PDF is attache...
