"Titel" (Title, often used in dialogues)
"Beschriftung" (label)

Peter2

When editing a form and define a "button", the word for the caption of the button is wrong translated (I suppose in English there is something with "top" instead of "caption" or "title"). See image

Peter2

Great. Thanks!

I have some PDF-files which are parts of a huge PDF-document. Now every file contains a lot of bookmarks which have no "actions" (they directed to parts of the huge file which do not exist in the current part).

Can they be purged / cleaned / removed automatically?

Hello Daniel yes - "insert" a page gives full control over the forms and there renaming. But the result will be a new, single page which is not merged / "overlayed" on the current page(s). And at the moment I don't see a way to do this in a batch mode for hundreds of pages. Thank...

Peter2

Thanks for reply, Daniel there are these conditions: a) field team has mobile hardware b) they have Editor Pro c) they don't need empty PDF-template with forms, they need the current data of every tree amended with the new, empty forms. d) the file size is not really important For my "Way 2&quo...

I'm thinking about this kind of workflow ... Example: - I have a database with 1000 trees - This database contains data about species, height, coordinates and owner - now I have to add two new attributes: "diametre" (number, one decimal place) and "state" (select one value of &qu...

Thanks Will.

Hi Will

here I use the Editor only to display the PDF and don't print to paper-printer. The attached PDF are created by the GIS software, using different PDF-devices.

Peter2

We have a GIS software which displays elements in different layers (different drawing order = different display order). When printing, we see sometimes different results from different printer drivers. This happens on "real paper" printers and on PDF-devices. I attached 3 PDF - made from d...

Peter2

Thanks to both - it's clear now.

@Stefan:
Sometimes we will use transparency from CAD and GIS - is there a "cooking recipe" for best results?

Peter2

I tried some pdf-versions (1.4, 1.5, 1.7, ..) with the demo-driver, but it creates nearly always 1.4-files. I have to change the defaults in printer-settings in "system control" to get 1.5 and 1.7.

When set to PDFA-1A it creates a 1.4 ... - bug or feature?

PDF XChange Editor 7.0 328.2, TEST-Version I try to crop white space from a PDF, and it ssem to be cropped correctly.

Very often, filenames has to be created in a defined way, like "projektnumber-plantype-projectphase", e.g. "47110815-AB-Prephase.pdf". Is there a way to start a dialogue with "save as" that shows an expanded inputbox, so that the user can create the complex filename ins...

Peter2

Hi
is there a way (a script?) to remove white space (crop) for all open files? (could be a simple, but helpful functionality).

Thanks

Peter

The link in "Update history" - "Details" (of 7.0.323.2) links to https://www.pdf-xchange.com/produc ... #7.0.323.2 The link seem to be OK, but the second line on this page displays "...V6"

Win 7, classic theme; screen size 125% - the dialogue is partly truncated at the right side. See images.

There are also some English strings in German version.

Hi Radi strange - it seem to be gone. It was yesterday evening when I installed via "Tracker Updater" form the ZIP-file. Today I installed again, because it reported me "V7 was installed yesterday; but now V6 is installed and you can update to V7" (see image) (After the second in...

Peter2

Not that important: The installer of Editor 7.0.323.2 shows "Version 6" in the title bar of the installer dialogue.

Peter2

Solved in version 6.0/322, but two small remarks:

"About"-Dialogue is still in English
Typo in "Instllierte Produkte" (missing "a")

Peter2

Due to the length of the words (German is a "long" language

) some strings are truncated or badly aligned - see attachment:

Thanks, Will

it is not first priority.

Hi Patrick

but why does the updater does not show (and does not update) my installed PDF Tools 4?
