Thank you Stefan for your proposal!

In my case however, I use the Properties toolbar all the time (probably about every two minutes) -- so I'd prefer having it immediately accessible all the time.
(...ideally only when something is selected of course:)

Cheers & keep up the great work

OK Paul, thank you for the clarification!

David.P

Hi @all, To be clear: V7 uses the same settings from V6. Both versions uses the same settings. Excepting one - currently the V7 ONLY doesn't support the toolbars customization that was made in V6. BUT all other settings are supported and used by V7 as well. Could it be that also custom keyboard shor...

David.P

Thank you Paul -- yes I think that this is a good compromise for a minimum size toolbar set :) Actually, after all the above considerations, I think that Arnold's suggestion would round things off to near perfection: I was thinking that one solution might be to have a setting in preferences to allow...

David.P

Sure that you are referring to the menu height? I think that the menu has a normal height -- only its caption/titlebar seems to be too thick (when the menu is floated):

David.P

It appears that the Properties Toolbar will bulldoze other regular toolbars, but not the ones you create yourself as shown here. I found that the Properties toolbar (marked green, right) first displaces/compresses other toolbars (also user-created toolbars, here marked blue-ish on the left): https:...

David.P

At least with the Properties toolbar, it might be because of it's size. Depending on what object you have selected, there can be a fairly large number of icons. Yes, but the size is not the reason why it is not currently possible to put the Properties toolbar on the titlebar. Rather, you can not pu...

David.P

OK so now I have re-created almost my entire customizations. This is rather easy and quick if you run v.6 along with v.7 side by side (one of them as portable version). https://i.imgur.com/hgip62n.jpg Unfortunately, the (incredibly useful, context sensitive) Properties toolbar: https://i.imgur.com/h...

David.P

Just for fun, I tried to make a maximum space saving UI with v.7:

UI switched to Classic Toolbars
Put all (necessary) menus and any additional buttons in the title bar (amazing that this is possible now with v.7!)
Disabled scaling in the settings

Hth,

David.P

Geniuses like the Tracker developers can EITHER deliver incredibly brilliant software OR up-to date changelogs, but not both

David.P

...yep, and if you were to use a slightly less offensive language with the world-class Tracker Support team, you might be heard even better

David.P

Whoa, the Ribbon UI is fully customizable as well via Drag-and-Drop. It is even possible to undock every sub-Tab of every Main Tab of the ribbon and put it wherever you want on your screen(s). While I'm not going to use the Ribbon for space saving reasons (I am convinced that the best UI for power u...

David.P

Ah, you can actually put whatever buttons you like also in the titlebar in v.7? That is amazing

David.P

Hi forum & support team,

it seems that PDF-XChange Editor v.7 goes over the monitor borders when maximized, and covers up things on adjacent monitors:

David.P

Hi @all, I just tried and upgraded to version 7, and indeed all toolbar customizations are gone. This is indeed rather unfortunate at least for users who have extensively customized the toolbars to their needs. In my case, my years-long (space-saving) customization looked like this: https://i.imgur....

Hi all, I believe that there is a related discussion here: Feature request - 'global' watermark profile The tread over there is (inter alia) about the problem that PDF-XChange printing profiles ("printing presets") can not be saved when created or changed when printing to PDF from within a...

David.P

Hi all, SumatraPDF and Notepad++ provide a feature for reloading modified files (I have not seen how they implement it). I would imagine that programs (e.g. like the above) which allow the modification of currently "open" files actually do not hold a file open after loading it for viewing ...

Looking forward to another worlds first in PDF software!
Thanks to all contributors, and especially to the friendly and patient support team.

David.P

Thank you Stefan for coordinating the state of things in this question.

Looking forward to hearing the Editor project leader's thoughts on this,

Best regards,
David

David.P

Thank you Stefan. Fixing this could considerably improve working with copied text from OCR'ed documents!

Hi, it seems that your PDF has been badly OCR'ed from an image file. That's the entire text from your file: 2 Write. Complete this dialogue. Nga: ...isthat? Lan: That's Nam.

David.P

Hmm... we had a discussion about this again and I am told it is not as simple to do this for PDF files as it is for the text files that Notepad++ handles. There is a lot more to consider and it is not trivial. It might eventually be implemented - as my colleagues told me it is not complicated to do ...

David.P

Come on Willy

this has been discussed ad nauseam

in the four threads mentioned in #9 above.

It is clear that the file has to be closed for a split second (or saved as under the new name and the old file deleted) in order to be "renamed while open".

Cheers
David

David.P

Just 'Rename' would be fine with me, because 'Move' would require some kind of Explorer-like file dialog . Resticting the feature to 'Rename' could be done intuitively for example like so: https://i.imgur.com/QsN7Luc.png Of course if 'Move' should be implemented as well, 'Rename' still could remain ...

Hi Ramos and thank you for the friendly follow-up

For completeness, the summarized current status of all threads related to this feature request can be found here.

And I made a new screenshot that looks a bit more up to date:

Sorry Willy for not coming back to your earlier on this. What I actually ended up doing was removing all traces of all Office installations altogether, and then doing a clean install of Word 2003 and Office 2016 (i.e. dropping Office 2007 completely). The two Word versions coexist beautifully togeth...

Thank you for the fast action, Stefan.
Looking forward for a fix (and reluctantly using A**be A***bat) in the meantime,

Hi forum and support team, I just found out that the "Save As Optimized" feature seemingly has a glitch. I have a partially scan-based document with 100 pages that I need to optimize. What I basically want is that dead hyperlinks be removed from the document, i.e. links to pages of the doc...

Hi @all,

unfortunately, the issue has reappeared basically overnight:

Word 2007 is installed and fully working.

Thanks for any ideas how this could be resolved!

Best regards
David.P

David.P

Thank you very much for this offer, Stefan. I'll send you the settings via e-mail!

David.P

Thank you Will -- that works, however I can't afford to loose my settings. So the problem seems to be that the basic "Browse for Link Target" dialog: https://i.imgur.com/QJrFPQt.png ...simply is skipped and not shown anymore at all when using the Link tool. Instead, application of the Link...

David.P

It is the former, Will.

David.P

Hi Will, thank you for the fast reply. I did that, however I still get this dialog first when creating a link with the Link tool: https://i.imgur.com/fsnPbkO.png After selecting "Go to a Page in the Document", the advanced "Edit Action" dialog appears: https://i.imgur.com/UFRmpyk...

Hi forum and tracker support team, it seems that the save session setting: http://i.imgur.com/G9Fxtpj.png ...does not save the entire session in case the feature "Window -> New Document Window" is used, and the new document window subsequently has been detached by dragging it's tab away fr...

David.P

Hi Will,

thanks for your reply. Yes, text cache flushing seems to be by design (i.e. not a bug) – however making it (for example) adjustable would be still a good thing™ IMHO

Cheers

David.P

Hi @all, In supporting this request, I would like to add that today I am working with a typical ~1000-page PDF again. Searching this PDF takes about 30 seconds in PDF-XChange Editor -- initially, or after the text cache has been flushed (which seems to happen about every 10-15 minutes). Searches wit...

David.P

Wow, thank you Alex, glad to hear that.

Looking forward to the next major build!

Keep up the great work

Here's another file. It seems that I have found out what is the problem. Please see the attached file including the comments contained therein.

Hi Will, I have actually tried it with both the installed version of PDF-XChange Editor as well as with the portable edition, the latter freshly downloaded with original settings, and once more with reset settings. Attached is a sample file: Charger-B6-Pro-manual.pdf ...and below the settings that I...

David.P

PS: strangely, the feature does work if at the same time the orientation of the page is changed from portrait to landscape. However if the orientation is basically kept, the content is not scaled.

David.P

Hi Will,

I have tried a couple of different files (both scan-based and text-based), and it was the same with all of them.

Thank you
David

David.P

Understood, Stefan!

David.P

Hi Stefan, Even without Incremental save if you delete all the pages you do not want, and save the rest - the file may stay huge - because there are e.g. named destinations in it. I don't think so :) -- because also this way, you get huge file sizes only when "Incremental Save" is active. ...

David.P

Hi Will & Nils-Olof, I think that this is an issue that simply could be related to 'Incremental Save' and not primarily to optimizing page content, because Nils-Olof's single page document probably has only been saved with 'Incremental Save' so far. He should also make sure that "Always use...

Hi,

have you tried to do a "Save As" of this file from within PDF-XChange Editor?
