And, if you like to test all the features of PDF-XChange Editor V6 for yourself, then you can do this by simply downloading and installing it from: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product/downloads It will work as a free trial version. This means that when you are going to use a feature that is indicate...

Hello, This is not the first time that this question arises: https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=23842 Until now, I did not see a solution. I only can tell that: - If the focus was on the pages of the PDF and so thanks to this, the Page Up and Page Down keys were working - the foc...

Willy Van Nuffel

Good to know that your problem has been solved, and also "how" it has been solved.
So, thanks for the "feedback".

Normally this setting is at the following position in Windows Registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor\3.0\Settings\Tools\Highlight

If you are experienced with Windows Registry, you can remove the "Highlight" subkey and then try again.

Can you please give a little bit more information and/or post a sample PDF. Your question is not immediately clear to me. If it goes about the Measurement toolbar and its measurement tools, then you can set the desired "Size & Dimensions" for each of these tools via the Properties pane...

Hi Lawrence, Locking a particular "type" of comments or annotations should be fairly easy: - Activate the Comments pane, via View > Other panes > Comments, or via CTRL + M - Activate the Properties pane, via View > Other panes > Properties Pane, or via CTRL + ù - In the Comments pane, via ...

Willy Van Nuffel

Thank you very much Will, that was it. The initial display settings of PDF-XChange Editor indeed override the initial view settings of the PDF itself. I should have known that. Never too old to learn ... :-) So, the feature in subject is working 100% correctly, but can be overruled by the settings o...

Hi Tracker Support, This time I have a question: (related to the following topic: https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=26839) Via PDF-XChange Editor, it seems like you can set the initial view of a PDF to "Two pages with cover page" (via the File-menu > Document Propertie...

Willy Van Nuffel

Extremely useful and already there: In PDF-XChange Viewer: In the View-menu, click Page Layout, and then check (activate) "Show Cover Page in Facing Mode". In PDF-XChange Editor: In the View-menu, click Page Layout, and then check (activate) "Show Cover Page in Two Pages View". B...

You were probably looking for this: https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=25288 From what I learn by reading that thread, is that you should be able to only select the AutoCad text boxes, by making a pre-selection of only the AutoCad comments (they should all be of the same Author)....

I think I found something interesting for you ... http://www.pdfscripting.com/public/FreeStuff/PDFSamples/JSPopupCalendar.pdf You can download this PDF, by doing a right mouse click on the URL/hyperlink and click "Save Target As" (IE11) or "Save Link As" (Google Chrome). Take car...

I do not know, but you can also think about scaling up your A3-PDF back to A1-format by re-printing it to PDF via the PDF-XChange Lite V6 printer. In the Print dialog box, before printing: 1) click the "Properties" button, and in the "Paper" settings, leave the page size to A3 bu...

Willy Van Nuffel

Maybe you should best verify: 1) if you can open that location, by pasting %public%\desktop in the address bar of Windows File Explorer and pressing Enter. 2) if you can write/paste something into that location. An alternative might be, to run the installation of PDF-XChange Editor V6 via the 32-bit...

Hi David, There is a very good explanation of this in Tracker Software's Knowledge Base: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgebase/479-How-do-I-edit-text-in-OCRd-document-with-the-Editor If you do not like to remove the image-layer from your PDF, then you can set its "Opacity" property to ...

If you download and install the most recent version 6.0 (build 317.1) of PDF-XChange Editor (on a test pc for example), you should be able to test all the features of it: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product/downloads The only remark is that when you are going to use a "Pro" feature in a no...

Willy Van Nuffel

I do not know if it might help you, but in PDF-XChange Viewer, via the Edit-menu > Preferences... > Page Display, you have check boxes for "Restore the last used view ..." and "Restore last used Layout and Zoom settings ...". At my side, I activated these check boxes. Then I open...

Willy Van Nuffel

We could also think about using "Undo", but it seems like when a PDF is being saved (in PDF-XChange Editor), all "undo's" are lost. :-( As long as the document has NOT been saved, a large number of undo's is still available. I just wonder if there is a theoretical/practical limit...

Willy Van Nuffel

Still a few words ... Myself, I was just focusing on the things you can do without having stamps on the final PDF, but when a re-read my post, that intention was not immediately clear. Sorry for that... So, the explanation from Tracker Support was really "enlightening". Thanks to Will and ...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hello, For as far as I know, you can only "edit" base-content-text and "add or edit" comments/annotations with the free version. To "add" base-content-text and modify/edit lines/shapes that are part of the base-content (so, not being comments/annotations), you need a li...

Willy Van Nuffel

Sorry that I do not fully understand your way of working. Probably your best solution will indeed be to wait for the "New window" feature in PDF-XChange Editor. This feature will offer you the possibility to open multiple windows (views) for a particular PDF and to make modifications to th...

Willy Van Nuffel

I agree Patrick, that is what I tried to make clear in my last sentence ... by making a "copy".

Best regards.

Willy Van Nuffel

Maybe just one last idea... I guess you must be able to edit the PDF, and for some particular reasons you have to compare the text (that must be modified) with several other places in that same PDF. So, why not make a copy of the PDF and open that copy in multiple instances of the Viewer, while keep...

Willy Van Nuffel

I do not know what should be the final goal of the question, but if it goes only about "reading" a PDF via multiple instances of a same application, then why not using the (old) PDF-XChange Viewer (as a "work around")? In the Viewer, via Edit > Preferences > General, below Applic...

Willy Van Nuffel

If you are going to receive such a PDF regularly, then you can best ask the sender to adapt the paper size at his side. If it is a one time case, then you can think about: 1) printing the PDF to a new PDF by using a virtual printer (like PDF-XChange Lite V6) and selecting the preferred paper size 2)...

Willy Van Nuffel

With pleasure.

Hello, It is not easy to get correct dpi (dots per inch) values in different applications. Some indicate a value per cm, other per inch. In Windows Explorer, you can do a right mouse click on the column titles (like Name, Date modified, Size, ...) and when you click More..., you can also check boxes...

Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 is still there in Windows 10. (In 32-bits version) you can start it via C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe If you really like to open a PDF with PDF-XChange Viewer or Editor from within Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome, you can always right click the intern...

Using a paper size that fits the content into one page, is a great idea of Roman to work around the problem. That we had not thought earlier about that ... In Microsoft WordPad, I opened Michael's RTF and then - via File > Page Setup - I set the paper size to A3. Next - via File > Print > Print > PD...

Willy Van Nuffel

The behavior is indeed different. In the Viewer, the thumbnails do not scroll, it is only the content that is shown into these thumbnails that is scrolling, while the page numbers below the thumbnails are counting up or down. In the Editor, the thumbnails scroll up and down, together with their cont...

Willy Van Nuffel

Thanks for discussing this at Tracker Software development. As I stated before, I have done my tests with Microsoft Word 2010. I can confirm my wish, that just after making changes to the settings in one of "my profiles", these new settings should be loaded and used automatically, without ...

Willy Van Nuffel

@Paul No, you did not understand it correctly. There is no problem in selecting and using a profile from within an application, but there is one when you "modify the settings" in the PDF-XChange V6 Printer's profiles from within an application. There even is a problem when "modifying ...

Willy Van Nuffel

I wonder how many PDF-XChange users would like to "comply with industry standards" while that is holding them from such a practical and beautiful feature as using specific "profiles" for specific applications. Being able to adapt profiles from within an application by going into ...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hi all, I am seeing the following behavior (in Windows 10 - 32 bit) when going into the Control Panel > Devices and Printers > PDF-XChange Standard V6, right click and then click "Printing Preferences". In the "Settings"-tab on the top of the window, you have the "Profile:&q...

Willy Van Nuffel

I took a look at the way how you can set up an additional "profile" besides the default one, and how it behaves. When you are in the "printer settings" dialogbox, you can see the active profile on top of that window. From the moment that you change one of the printer settings, yo...

Willy Van Nuffel

Good to know,
and done with pleasure.

When printing two pages on one, via the PDF-XChange Printer, it seems indeed like the text is turning to bitmap, but at my side - by printing at 600 dpi - it is fairly good. Maybe you should check the "Graphics" parameters in your printers settings. For me, they are all set to "No dow...

Willy Van Nuffel

To merge your two files, you can better use PDF-XChange Editor's own feature: - Click File > New Document > Combine Files in a Single PDF - Click the Add Files... button and then select your files and click Open - Via the button "Page Range Options" you can select specific pages out of eac...

At my knowledge, your license keeps to be valid for the version that was actual at the time you purchased your software. So, unfortunately for you, the (new) version that is actual today will probably not work anymore with your (old) license. But, if you go to the Tracker Software download page, and...

Willy Van Nuffel

Maybe you should try to manually copy the XPSSVCS.DLL

- out of the pxcl_xpssvcs_hotfix.zip (x64 folder)
- to C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3

See if the copy succeeds, and after that verify if printing works.

Regards.

Willy Van Nuffel

Maybe your problem is similar to the following one, in an earlier thread: https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=25535 The solution there was mentioned in the topic of 22 April 6:00 pm: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgebase/500-I-have-a-problem-with-PDF-XChange-Lite-6-not-working...

Willy Van Nuffel

I tested with the "PDF-XChange Lite V6" printer, and what I see is indeed when you change the "Scaling" via File > Print > Preferences > Paper, in the frame/zone "Graphic", it jumps back to 100%. But, at the bottom of that same window, there is also "Scale" an...

Willy Van Nuffel

Agreed.

Willy Van Nuffel

Hello, I agree with Paul. When the auto adjust feature does not do what you like, then just turn it off. But, asbic consultants ltd, can you please provide us with a PDF including an example of a call out (with auto adjust arm position turned off) that is in a position that you finally like, and of ...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hello, Just out of curiosity, I tested out what is possible when the "Auto Adjust Arm Position" has been turned off. It is really amazing. I just was not aware of this feature. When the "Select Text Tool"-icon/button is active in the toolbar, and you position the mouse pointer on...

Willy Van Nuffel

Alright for me, and I suppose for jotagoman too ...

Thanks for the consideration and discussing this with Vasyl.

Willy Van Nuffel

Thanks Paul for your reply. What I just wanted to say is that - after deleting that previous named destination - and at the moment that I am going to create a new Named Destination, I (still) see the selected area/zone in the preview of the page of the PDF. So, I click "Add Current View" t...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hello, In the attachment of this post you will find the detailed instructions on how I add a "Named Destination". I think I saw where the problem is... It seems like the zoom-factor in the preview pane (while creating the Named Destination) is determinant for how the page will show when yo...

Willy Van Nuffel

Probably it is also important to know if there is a difference between modifying (= delete pages) and saving the PDF on a network drive/disk or saving it on a local drive/disk. I suppose you are actually using a work-around for this problem, by extracting the few pages that you would like to keep, i...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hello,

Can you please verify if "Always use Incremental Save" is turned off in PDF-XChange Editor, via the Edit-menu > Preferences > Documents > Save Documents ? If not, the space of the deleted pages will not be liberated.

Best regards.

Willy Van Nuffel

This Monday morning I checked with the Link Tools feature in PDF-XChange Viewer 2.5 (Build 317.0), and it seems to work in the same way as it works in PDF-XChange Editor. Maybe it should be better if the selection of the desired preview would work independently of whether you make a choice for "...
