I have used the compression settings with some success. But, I am slightly confused about one box. What is the effect of checking, and not checking, the ASCII format (Larger File) box? See attached. My own results indicate that checking it results in a larger file. But, that seems odd as checking al...

It seems that V.5.5.312 has some significant problems (e.g., https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... 62&t=23153, https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... 62&t=23192, https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... 62&t=23200).

Is there an ETA on build 313?

I would like to add another request--more viewing space . For years screen resolutions were increasing, but now with tablets, convertible laptop/tablet hybrids, etc. people are once again using smaller screens. The new Editor UI has a needlessly "fat" tool bar area compared to the one in ...

Thanks for the follow up and honest commentary.

The Updater for Editor seems to work well, except for not terminating automatically. It is great that the Updater automatically looks for updates--that is what it should do. But, if it does not find an update, it seems like the process continues to run until the user opens the window by clicking on ...

I obviously agree with the suggestion to be able to combine all open tabs. https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... 62&t=17883

Thanks for the quick, useful reply. It is working. I do have one comment regarding the Java script function--it is kinda annoying. It stops around once every 30 seconds with a warning message that "This script execution seems to take more time than expected. Continue the script execution."...

The search function is great for finding terms in a document. Once found, is there a way to apply the highlighter to all of those instances? I want the highlight to be there when I close the search function.

Thanks.

Will- WTF? I cannot believe you made Tony wait a whole 15 minutes before responding with a fix. That is pretty inconsiderate when he had a deadline. I mean, he used three, count 'em, three question marks. You must have known the importance. I guess you must only moonlight here and your real focus is...

Now that those two are done arguing about whatever they were arguing about, can an Admin chime in on the possibility of getting multi-colored Find results without a requirement that the words be adjacent to each other?

bqxmprij

Or, why are there two different functions? I was reading the post Praise for multi-color search results https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=22627 and agree, great job. But, I couldn't get my copy of PDF-XChange Editor to look like that (of course, using Ctrl + F, it wouldn't). Aft...

Thank you for the quick response. I figured it was something like that.

Version 5.5.310.0 was released yesterday. Today, I manually selected "check for updates" and no update was identified. Can you comment?

I routinely have difficulty printing with PDF-XChange Editor and will be adding these as they come up. Today's difficulty: The document available at http://www.ded.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/local_rules/LocalRulesCivil_4-30-10.pdf opened without issue in PDF-XChange Editor v. 5.5, build 309.0....

I used PDF-XChange Printer 2012 for both printings without changing any settings. I cannot see why something would be different.

I have attached two sets of screenshots. Hope this helps.

I just want jump in here. Printing (the spooling part) the iPad document above took about 1:30 using PDF-XChange Editor 5.5 (309.0) and PDF-XChange Printer 2012. I downloaded the pro package yesterday. On the other hand, printing (the spooling part) the same document from Adobe Acrobat and PDF-XChan...

So I typed up a really long explanation of what I did to try this, but the forum logged me out (without warning) but still let me type. That really sucked. Here is the short version: 1. Printing with PDF-XChange Editor to PDF-XChange Printer 2012 did not work. The printer crashed twice, after hangin...

I routinely need to upload .pdf files and sometimes there are limits to the file size a system will accept. For instance, this forum will not accept a file that is over 5MB. I have attached a .pdf of an excerpt of a magazine. This magazine was 124 pages long and 50+ MB in file size. The full magazin...

I cannot figure out how to change a font size or type when using the Typewriter Tool. Obviously opinions will differ, but I personally think that the intuitive place to include such options would be in the context menu when text typed with the the Typewriter Tool is highlighted. See attached. The Te...

bqxmprij

I think these issues are related.

https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... 62&t=19385

I look forward to this being fixed since I copy text from pdfs daily.

bqxmprij

Hi bqxmprij, Thanks for getting back to me - in the sample that you posted, the section lablled "Justified Text" actually has double spacing in it, so when copied from the PDF to Notepad, it pastes with the double spacing. I removed the spaces and find the text pastes with just single spa...

bqxmprij

Hi bqxmprij, Then shouldn't PDF-XChange Editor open such documents in a read only mode? I will check with our devs. As for the highlights - the problem is that in PDF-A files you can't have blending modes - so the highlight is placed as a solid annotation on top of the text - hence hiding it and ma...

Thanks for the follow-up - could you please test with build 307.1 and let me know if the issue is still present?

Cheers,

Yes. The issue is still present with build 307.1. Feel free to test it yourself.

bqxmprij

Hi bqxmprij, The problem with PDF-A documents is that they should meet rather strict conditions to comply with the archiving specifications, and making changes to such files very easily can break the compliance - hence the read only. Regards, Stefan Stefan- Then shouldn't PDF-XChange Editor open su...

Hello- I thought I would check in on this issue and express my personal desire to have it addressed. I also have attached an updated pdf and screenshot showing that the added spaces are only present when the text was justified. Also, this confirms that the issue still exists in PDF-XChange Editor 30...

bqxmprij

PDF/A means PDF for Archiving purposes. Should an archived document be modified? Adobe Reader X, unlike PDF-XChange Editor and Nuance PDF Converter Enterprise 7, opens archive formatted pdf's in read only mode. Upon first glance, this looks like a good idea, but I am sure power users would like the...

Hello- I want to highlight another highlighting issue and raise this thread again in hopes of the issue being resolved. When PDF-XChange Editor 307.0 is used to highlight text of certain formatted pdfs (e.g., pdf/A-1a), the highlighted text is covered/obscured because the highlighting is not translu...

bqxmprij

I downloaded v306 and this issue is still happening. Can you comment on when it might be fixed?

bqxmprij

I totally agree. Editor is noticeably slower than Viewer at start-up. Please look into this. I feel bad saying this, but Editor's start-up time reminded me of Adobe Reader the other day (it is not just the 10/25 release with the issue). Please don't follow that bloatware. I have no idea if this woul...

bqxmprij

Enterprise. Sorry for the confusing response. Also, it is a 32-bit machine.

bqxmprij

Copying text from Editor adds an extra space between words, sometimes. The Viewer had (and probably still has) this same issue. This has been occurring since Editor was released. It finally pushed me over the edge today. I think this happens when the document is "Justified" text. Attached ...

I can try to install it at home, which should have the same operating system. I'll do that once the next Pro Package is updated, which I assume will be Friday. I will touch base then.

bqxmprij

I am using version 5.0 build 270, Win 7 Enterprise Professional, Build 7601, Service Pack 1. I will update the driver once the Editor is packaged with the Pro Package.

I have to manually launch pdfSaver, and each time select the box for "Show Icon In System Tray" box. In other words, after each session, the box is unchecked. Is this a bug or do I need to check a different setting? Also, even when I manually launch pdfSaver, the window for it does not sho...

bqxmprij

Thank you again for the quick response and honest assessment.

bqxmprij

Thank you for reviewing, confirming and responding quickly. I forgot to ask this question: did you notice how long it took for Editor to open when the pdf was created? I noticed with the last version, and it continued with this version, the start-up time for Editor has greatly increased. I realize t...

bqxmprij

I purchased the Pro package because your product (the Viewer Pro at the time) deleted pages easily and actually deleted the data (in comparison to a different product). Now, there is a deletion malfunction and the file size does not change, meaning that the data has not actually been deleted. As you...

bqxmprij

Thank you. I figured out that my menus bar had disappeared. Thank for the quick response.

bqxmprij

The Viewer had a toolbar (or whatever it is called) in the bottom right corner that was displayed when a pdf was displayed in or out of a browser. The Editor does not (or I have not configured it to). See attached comparison screenshots. The one of the Editor is the Editor within Internet Explorer 8...

bqxmprij

Is there a typo?

There is an April 2013 post that "PDF-XChange Editor is GOLD !!!!!!!!"

Also, does the post mean that I can download the Pro package that I paid for and that will install the Editor, not the Viewer?

bqxmprij

I think we are talking about two different things. I'll state it differently. Any option (or maybe just your comments) of how to highlight a document, and then make that document into a pdf/A compliant document, would be appreciated. Maybe it is as simple as highlight an existing pdf, and then save ...

bqxmprij

Any option of some sort of highlighting while remaining pdf/A compliant would be greatly appreciated. I have needed to file pdf/A compliant documents with highlighting. Maybe the software could allow one, but not the other, of blend modes and transparency.

bqxmprij

I did not do anything between creation and highlighting. This phenomenon happens sometimes and sometimes it does not. It happens with files that are scanned, then ocr'd, and with files that are computer generated (i.e., print to pdf). There does not seem to be anything in particular that triggers wh...

Using version 3.0 (build 303.0) of Editor, about 50% of the time when I highlight text in a document, the highlight completely covers and blocks the text. The really weird thing is that when I open the file with another program, the highlight works how it should and I can see the text. A file with h...

Please add this feature soon. I constantly have to build pdf documents by inserting multiple pdfs into a master pdf document. When doing so, it is very easy to add pdfs by dragging and dropping at the right page in the master document. Notably, many of your competitor's products have worked this way...

For the third issue, I was referring to re-sizing the window. If you resize the window, the pdf frame does not resize.

bqxmprij

The ability to inset a pdf from one tab to another is awesome. Here is to hoping that functionality is provided to combine all tabs and/or insert all tabs into the first tab in the order that the tabs are open. I routinely get documents with multiple parts (i.e., a main document and a handful of exh...

When I view a pdf in Internet Explorer v9 (and I cannot change browsers at work), many options do not work or are hidden. First, pressing the save button does nothing. Second, in the viewer product, there was a way to open the pdf in a separate instance of pdf viewer. It looked like a dropup menu at...

PDF-XChange Editor is great, but as expected, there are a few issues. It will not render the pdf at http://www.uspto.gov/forms/aia0014.pdf. Instead, an error message is shown. This pdf is an interactive form.
