I try to populate a form with data from CSV, and it seem to be OK. I defined to save the output-file with values from the CSV (in detail: %[ColName:DESIGNATION]), and it uses the wrong column. I attach an example, and it seems that the column $SQLLABELCOORDINFO makes problems.or has it another reaso...

I'm playing around with forms and export them to CSV.
In which order are they exported? it seem to be different from the "tab-order" which is defined?

And is in version 8.0 also an option to export "empty fields"? I found it in PDF Tools, but not in Editor.

Peter2

Thanks, Stefan.

I'm searching / hoping for a "Copy&Paste" feature to fill these values. I have some lists with 5-20 values ...

Peter2

I see that the many "problem" comes from the option "Edit text elements as blocks". - If "on", I can edit the text, but the size is wide and the text reacts to the modified border. - if "off", I can not edit the text, but the border is cropped to the size of t...

I'm sure that I miss something or I'm confusing with functions from other software ... - I add a text - it gets a rather big "border / frame" around it - I define its content, text size in pt and its position - and I want to crop the "border / the frame" to (rather) fit to the si...

Peter2

Thanks,
I got it.

Peter2

Thanks Daniel

not that simple and easy as I hoped. I will check it.

Peter2

Thanks

seems that my version 8.0.339 is too old:

I can extract the forms of many PDF to many resulting CSV. Fine ..

But is it possible to extract the forms of many (identical) PDF to only one resulting CSV?

Peter2

What is the meaning of "Display Value vs. Export Value"? I thought it could be different - e.g. a string displayed for the user ("beautiful / medium / ugly") and exported numbers for the computer (1 / 2 / 3). But it is always the same ..

Here are two simple examples: - a "report", containing up to 500 pages of different data. Every page has a unique ID and different other data; some data are missing. The structure or the "intelligence" of the report can not be modified; it is created by an database system. - a on...

With my database I use "reports" to create PDF-files; 1 page per dataset (per row) - e.g. the data of houses: length, width, height, number, owner, ... But the data are not complete, so we have to go outside (into the wild nature) and have to research for the missing data. Now I want to cr...

"Ctrl+Mousewheel" is the standard zoom command in PDFEX. In a special configuration we have problems (interferences) with other software.

Can this function be changed to another command, like "Alt+Mousewheel" or so?

A colleague (Version 9) double-clicks on a file three times, and the same file is opened three times.
On my PC (Version 8 ), an already opened file is not opened again.

Where can I find the right setting?

Version 8.0.339 (maybe already solved)

The dialogue "new image compression" (?) has this cosmetic translation issue. (Height versus high)

Peter2

Hi Dimitar

current news?

Peter2

It's now 12 month since this posting is unanswered. Something new with it?

Peter2

OK, thanks for advices.

Peter2

Sometime, the cropping of white space creates exact, but ugly results - a small border (tolerance) of some mm white space remaining would be fine. Wouldn't this be an interesting new feature for the crop-functions?

Peter2

@David.P

could you solve it?

Maybe it is similar to this:

Version 8.0.339 -------------- Mabe it's a kind of cosmetic (and maybe already solved in version 9 :wink: ) but I print drawings from AutoCAD, and a zoom of 730% show small circles (the small black ones) rather segmented / like damaged polygons: grafik.png created with the AutoCAD-PDF driver it look...

Peter2

Next.
(maybe a problem of my PC - please check or verify it)
When I select "German", then it is OK.
When I select "Use Regional Settings <Deutsch>", then this menu is in English, the rest is as expected in German.

And "Höhe" is also not OK

Peter2

maybe already solved with V9.
----------------------
The command "Modify - Rasterize" is translated with "Ändern - Seiten aufbauen". IMHO "Seiten aufbauen" (create pages) is not the best translation possible .. Or did I missed something?

When the "Application" has a rather long value, then the button for "Additional Metadata" truncates the string - see image.
Not important ..

I looked at the postings, relating "large format PDF > 5080" (from 2014 - 2019) - what's the current state, both for Editor and Driver?

Unchanged?
Limited to 5080mm?

My test with IE and FF; PDFXChange and MS PDF:
When I use inside the browser the setting "print with background", then the related area is printed as image.
When there is no background, then there is text

So the issue is not solved and not solvable, but explained ..

Peter2

Find attached a PDF, created from a HTML-site of Github. Every text which has a grey background it not a text anymore, it is a picture. It starts at the middle of the first page.

Bug or feature or wrong print settings?
