Hi

some remarks?

Peter2

Hi
this Monday, 20.07.2020, I sent a mail to Support with subject "Print from AutoCAD - Missing elements". Did you received it?

Peter

Peter2

There are some long discussions, relating "Gradient", e.g. here https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=31457 but they are all for Editor and not for Print Driver. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I made a simple drawing / graph wi...

Peter2

Thanks Daniel it seem to be OK. Just to be precise for other users: When you have a printer with serverpath, like "\\myserver\myprinter", you have to type it with escaped backslashes: \\\\myserver\\myprinter I can not confirm the "case sensitive" clause - I tried "mYprINTer&...

Peter2

In my Windows settings, I defined "PDF-XChange" printer" for all my usual software. So it is also the standard-printer for PDF-Editor. The problem is - when I opened a PDF in Editor, then I usually don't want to print to PDF, I want to print to paper. So the question is: How to set a ...

Thanks, Dimitar,
works fine!

Peter2

Hi,
sometimes I use the Annotations for measuring, and the baseline should be exactly horizontal or vertical. In some CAD-software there is a so-called Ortho-mode to move the mouse exactly horizontal or vertical.

Is this also possible in Editor?

Peter2

Hi Daniel

thanks, but I don't really want to modify or change extension; I only wanted to suggest that a separated - and greyed out - file-extension would clearly show what the software does (and what you explained).

Peter2

The "file rename" function has a feature which is handy, but maybe confusing: It adds (nearly) always the extension "pdf" Example: I have "hello.pdf" and rename it to .. - "test": It is named to "Test.pdf" - "new.txt" -->> new.txt.pdf - &qu...

Peter2

Thanks to OVG, now I see the difference.

Peter2

Hi Daniel

yes, I have 8.337. Find attached my file - before and after cropping.
And here a screencast: https://autode.sk/2yANguz

The (wrong) crop-area is already visible in preview. Do I use wrong settings?

I think we had this topic already some time ago .. ----- I have a PDF, first page is portrait with a lot of white space, other pages are landscape with only a few white space. I start "crop pages", set to white margins, pages 1-18, all other settings on default. Now it crops the first page...

Peter2

Thanks, Vasyl
that's a good solution for temporary, manual synchronization.

The final step would be - as mentioned above - a free selectable file like "h:\mydata\my_dict_for_all-dic"

Have a good time!

Peter

Peter2

Hi Stefan yes, many of the old custom dictionaries had the extension ".dic" or ".cus" and were a simple text list. The import of an existing list would be only a small part of the solution - I'm thinking of a file which can be selected and is dynamically used for reading and writ...

Peter2

Hi Daniel

thanks, but I know "how to create an own list". I want to know "how to select an already existing list from others software"

Peter2

The Spell Check has also a "Custom wordlist" where I can add and define my special words. In other programs there is this feature too, but I can select the list like "c:\mydata\my_words.dic" and can use and modify it from different software. Can it be defined in PDF Edit too? Peter

OK, thanks.

Thanks for clarification, but nevertheless the usability could be enhanced a little bit

Not an important problem for me and certainly very rare, but maybe you will take a look at it sometimes. ---------------------------------- Since first setup, my PC - which should use German as system language - displays sometimes Dutch strings in System messages - for example in "My documents ...

Peter2

Thanks, OK for me.

Peter2

Thanks Daniel,

now I see the background and that I should use better a "Callout" instead a Sticky Note. But just for other users I add the two screenshots so that they know what I was talking about.

Peter2

I just found why I didn't discover the command for myself. The problem - maybe for other users too - is that the side "Property Pane" offers a "Paragraph" section too, but there is only the "Text alignment". So I thought "that's all" ... But also the "Tex...

Peter2

Hi Daniel

now I'm confused - your dialogue is different from mine (PDF-Printer and PDF-Addin for Word; 8.336)

Peter2

@lev

thanks, I found it.

Peter2

I found the palette with a lot of different icons for the "comments". Is it possible to set the size?

Peter2

Version 8.0/336

When I use "Flatten selected comments", then only the icon is displayed. The textbox with text and "connection arrow" to the icon disappears.

Bug or Feature?

Peter2

The "Edit Watermark" has an option called "Placed on:" with "All / first / last / even / odd pages". I want to ask for an option "everywhere except first page".

Does it look helpful to you too?

Peter

Peter2

The standard linespacing of lines, written with Typewriter, is rather high. Can it be modified?

Peter

Peter2

Great. Thanks.

Peter2

Hi Daniel

is there a button / a function to switch quick between "coloured / black-white"?

Peter2

The "Help"-command in version V8 links to the help of version 7.

Peter2

@Willy
thanks, but I just checked again: I have only one (expired, but valid) licence.

@Daniel
thanks too. For me it is clear now, I will see what I'll do.
For the other users it would be great if you could find a way to avoid this unclear behaviour of Updater.

Peter2

Tracker Updater shows me this result:

What does it mean? I'm allowed to update the entire "Pro", but "Editor" as part of the package is not allowed?
I looked at my licence - it is expired (since some time as I know).

Correct?

Peter2

Outlook Addin uses the "Subjecct" of email to create the filename of PDF. That's fine, but it truncates the string after approx. 40 characters. That's not fine.

Please remove the limitation or make it configurable to higher values.

Peter2

Fine stuff

Hi Daniel

I have a 64bit-PC and there is no folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Tracker Software"

But as said above - it's not that important, I can wait for a fix.

Peter2

Hi Stefan thanks. For me, I'm just checking the ways to update Ghostscript on that machine (it is MS Windows Server 2003; so an update to the newest version is maybe not the best idea.) For you, I think to fix a broken thing (caused by others) would be fine. IIRC GS 8.63 was a very often used softwa...

Peter2

Yes, Stefan
it is made with Ghostscript 8.63. Here is an example.

Peter2

Sorry Dimitar

my fault. Seem to be a problem by incident. I should have tried again before posting - and runs fine now.
