In many applications you can make multiple selections with Control + Click. In PDF-XChange, you cannot. If you try to, it will cause a crash sooner or later. I am quite happy with drag and drop from Windows Explorer. It does what is wanted quite efficiently. Adding the option to use control click an...

The document uses a Javascript to open the print dialogue.

This will not currnetly work in PDF-XChange (nor in Foxit Reader).

You can use drag and drop from Windows Explorer, or right-click and open several selected files.

Trying to select several files in the Open file dialogue with Control + Click causes PDF-XChange to crash.

If I change the paper size used by my printer driver to A3, then PDF-XChange offers to scale an A4 page and print it to A3. I think that you need to change the default paper size for your printer and set the page scaling to fit the printer margins.

You can edit the identity of the person making comments on a document from the properties of any markup. To alter the identity of the document's author, you need to create a new document, which you can do by printing to a PDF printer driver. I think that is correct, as PDF is primarily a read only f...

No, there is no way to add buttons to the toolbar.
You can use Control + Shift + S for Save As.

- the workarounds are not of that much help, as exporting the entire pdf can not be created in the desired resolution, due to (natural and accepted) size limitations of those raster exports. I can take a 1200 dpi Snapshot from an A3 landscape map in PDF format, and export it from IrfanView as a tra...

You're not doing anything wrong. It is usually hard to select within a highlighted area because selection is needed to delete the highlight.

Try selecting more than the highlighted text.

The address is unknown or unsupported.

Try sending the file via "Report a problem" on the help menu. That is the preferred method as Tracker Software will then have some important information about your computer setup as well as the PDF file.

You can also use the Loupe Tool or the Snapshot Tool to copy the selected area to the clipboard. The resolution can be set in preferences: Snapshot Tool, Used Fixed Resolution for Snapshot Tool. Launch Irfan View with the Shortcut Target: "C:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view32.exe" /clippast...

Try using text boxes if you want the notes to print.

There is a check for updates item on the Help menu. Installation is simple and semi-automatic. One is asked to close PDF-XChange during the update process. If necessary, a system restart is advised. Fully automatic updates without user request are disliked by most users, who wish to choose when to m...

That sounds very much like this problem

Please try a search before posting. This has been asked a few times. Custom stamps are almost ready, and will be available soon, perhaps in the next build, perhaps not.

Bhikkhu Pesala

Try it the other way around. Mark the smallest amount of text first, and work outwards. Underline a few words, then hilight a sentence, or vice versa.

Try a full reinstall of Build 34 https://www.pdf-xchange.com/PDFXVwer.zip The latest release is a fix for plugin problems. It is not (or at least was not available) via check for updates.

The Documents Properties, Fonts, show only fonts that are present in the PDF document text. The typewriter tool uses fonts that are installed on your computer. Arial is the default font. If you're getting jibberish, check the current font in use, and make sure that Arial is properly installed. You c...

I can reproduce the problem. To fix it as soon as possible, minimize PDF-XChange and then maximize it again. If you're switching away from PDF-XChange to use another program, minimizing it will reduce memory use to about 1,200 Kbytes. If you have 1 Gbyte of memory or more, don't worry about using 40...

I think not, but custom stamps are on the ToDo list. No doubt they will be available sooner or later.

The document looks OK in Adobe Reader 7, too, but Foxit Reader crashes and wants to send an error report to Microsoft. If I open the file in PagePlus, the grey areas are there in the PDF, so my guess is that PDF-Xchange is not the main problem here, but the software that you're using to produce the ...

It would help to say which printer you're using and to attach a sample document that causes problems (delete any sensitive info).

Bhikkhu Pesala

It is not currently possible.

One can delete comments more easily from the Comments and Markup panel.

The document is not slow to load, it is rather slow to render the graphic. PDF-XChange does considerably better than Adobe Reader. Foxit Reader does better than both. If you're really finding it very slow and are not exaggerating, you need a hardware upgrade. My onboard nVidia graphics takes about 2...

No external links seem to be working now. OK in Adobe Reader.

Using Arial is the secret ingredient. Arial Bold causes a crash too. Error report sent to Microsoft. I get a crash every time with just wä and with eä but not with "we" or "bew, just with "w" or "e" + a composite character. I looked at Arlal in FontCreator and foun...

Not currently possible as far as I know.

You can get a stamp to run vertically by rotating the page, applying the stamp, then rotating the page back again.

Yes, it is normal. These options will be available when they're ready.

I cannot reproduce the crash here, so you need to give more details.

Does this happen with all PDF documents or only one? If only one, then you need to attach the document here or send it to Tracker Software.

What font are you using? Does it happen with other fonts?

If PDF-XChange is taking a long time (more than five seconds) to start up, that is not to be expected. Either you're PC is rather low-spec, or you have some other problem worth investigating.

If you tried a search for "Shortcuts" you would have discovered that this may be implemented in future builds. Customising the keyboard is by no means "standard" in modern applications. Adobe Reader doesn't offer this, and nor does Foxit Reader. It is only standard in word-proces...

The solution to this is to use one of the alternative Folder Views in Windows Explorer. Try Tiles, Thumbnails, or Icons, rather than Details or List.

Whatever the icon's colour there is likely to be a conflict with another file type.

Fortunately, Tracker Software tend to follow the standards set by Adobe Reader in most cases. I tried a printout to PDF995 printer driver, and it printed 2 pages per sheet after a short delay.

Nagging to make changes in this free program is really very rude. Foxit Reader solved the problem neatly, by putting the advert in the menu bar, but maybe it takes some more time (and therefore more money) to make that change.
