PDF XChange Forum

Hello Jensen Head,

It seems like the first ~70- pages can be compared easily and when I try to compare e.g. pages 70 to 80 - I get the crash.
So I will ask my colleagues to take a look and advise why this is happening!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello MedBooster,

I am afraid that I've not received any news - and things are currently as they were at the start of this discussion/thread.

Hello mCHSNUg5Pz8cPap, Some of the optimization options offered are lossy - so applying them to the same file quickly might accidentally result in an unwanted e.g. loss of image quality in the only copy of a file. So having been forced to "Save As" ensures that this is less likely to happe...

Hello Willy Van Nuffel, I believe that this has already been requested in the past - however if you create a blank file as PDF/A directly - it would then be locked. You will have to unlock it to add content, and then still would need to resave it as PDF/A. The driver is directly generating and savin...

Hello Allie,

You can find the Combine files into a single PDF here:

Hello Mirada2000,

No colours can be assigned to tabs, however if you have given your documents titles that are different from the file names - you can change this option in order to have the titles instead of file names shown:

Hello Mirada2000, Layers inside a PDF are called "Optional Content Groups" - and as the name implies - they are 'optional'. The comments that you add are in any case created in a position that is on top of the base content of the same page - so there is already some separation, and if you ...

Hello danjelk,

Welcome to our forums.
Can you please let us know what is your device - and please also share in a few more details what issues exactly are you experiencing with it and the latest Editor when you try to use your touch on that device?

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Evie,

Pleasure to assist!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Davide78,

You can e.g. crop your original larger files into smaller bits and compare those.
As for an "overlap" - it is planned but not yet available in our comparison tool.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello mCHSNUg5Pz8cPap, Actually - I just got great news from the devs - it would appear like such a feature has already been considered, and when we discussed your post I was asked to make this ticket: #6850: FR: Editor - Change a Single Path to Multiple Paths (and reverse) Once implemented (no time...

Hello rakunavi, Thanks for that sample! Actually that PDF file is exactly the sample I was thinking of. I do see that those annotations do scale in thickness even when resized in the Editor, unlike our own pencil input. I will now ask my colleagues to take a look and advise what is different for tho...

Hello Mesa, Welcome to our forums. You do not need a license management program or tool that you have to install. You are doing the deployment from your side, and ensuring that you adhere to the 25 user limit from the sysadmin side. You can read more on our licensing here: https://www.pdf-xchange.co...

Hello rakunavi, Can you please share with us one such file created with that Drawboard tool with the text already inside of it? I'd like to check whether that is a standard annotation or something specific/custom they make. And I will also ask our devs to take a look at your videos and advise if we ...

Hello Loki@99,

Glad to hear that getting the right preview handler sorted it for you!

And unfortunately I can't make any promises on the pinch zoom in preview!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello mCHSNUg5Pz8cPap, It is not currently possible, and I am not sure what the complexity of such a feature could be. I will ask our devs to take a look, however I can not make any promises that this would be approved as a feature request, as usually it is up to the application initially creating t...

Hello LucaDeFrances,

Apologies for the delay with getting to that ticket! I am afraid that it has still not been marked as resolved, so I've asked for it's priority to be raised and this addressed as soon as possible!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello AndiModding, Welcome to our forums and thanks for your enquiry! Indeed you can add custom JS as buttons in a custom toolbar. This KB article explains the process: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgebase/510-How-do-I-add-a-custom-tool-to-the-toolbar-using-JavaScript-in-the-Editor And if you t...

Hello Evie,

Yes - it would be available in the future, however for now I do not yet have a time frame. As soon as it is ready - there will be an update in the ticket, and we will post an update here in this topic as well!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello dalacor,

Yes - we do use some cloud services, and it might indeed have had an effect. We've contacted our providers and are working with them on the improvements Daniel mentioned above!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello mCHSNUg5Pz8cPap, I believe that annotations are limited by the PDF specification. So I am not sure if it's technically possible to create such curved ones with arrow pointings. You can also use the pencil tool - and that would have a smoothing applied to it once you finish drawing such annotat...

Hello rakunavi, Just heard back from the devs on this one as well. Unfortunately this would not be trivial to implement, and is also not standard behaviour for the annotations, so our developers have rejected the request for the foreseeable future, and you would need to have to continue to use the a...

Hello again Evie,

Our devs confirmed that this would need addressing - so I've created the ticket so that we can correctly follow up on this one:
#6847: Editor: Annotate Search Results does not add the highlighted text in the annotation created.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello rakunavi,

This was approved as a FR - and this is the ticket number:
#6846: FR: Editor - Ability to determine the page margins if a page contains only annotations.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Again Loki99, Our devs looked at your video and say that the preview handler that you are showing in that video does not look to be our own. Please navigate to and start this tool: "c:\Program Files\Tracker Software\Shell Extensions\XCShInfoSetup.exe" And when it starts - select that...

Hello rakunavi,

I've asked the dev team to review your above report and advise if we need a ticket - and if we do how to word it. As soon as I have their feedback I will post again here in the topic!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello rakunavi, If you need to resize text - you can flatten the annotation, and then select the base content object - and that would change the text size for you. Unfortunately it is not possible to do so while the object is an annotation. I will ask our developers whether this is something they wo...

Hello Willy Van Nuffel,

Thanks for the above!

I am sure it would be useful to @Evie!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Mirada2000, I do not believe there is such a feature to automate this, however you can e.g. make a few measurements, then select them in the comments pane and after that quickly add them to a layer - either new or existing, by just right clicking over the selection of those comments: image.png...

Hello MedBooster, The majority of functions can indeed be assigned a shortcut, however this is a preference/setting that is not really intended to need to be toggled all the time - so there are no provisions in the Editor for you to assign shortcuts to toggle checkboxes for preferences from the menu...

Hello Mathew,

Would listening for the Field/Focus event work for you?

Or do you need to check which is the active field at a time when a script is run manually and is not constantly listening for that event?

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Evie,

Certainly - I am still awaiting feedback from my colleagues, but as soon as I have it - I will get back to you here!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Evie, It would appear like when you "Highlight search results" - the text that is being highlighted is indeed not stored in the annotation as it is when you highlight words manually. I am asking our devs whether that is intentional - and if not - we will make a ticket to correct that...

Hello Loki@99,

Thanks! Got the file and passed it on to Vasyl to take a look. He will advise once he has had the chance to see it!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Martin12183, The idea of the Overlay is that you already know what you want to overlay - and would probably also want the overlay to be at specific locations in the overlaid pages later. If you need a similar feature - you can resize your pages in one step and then add the overlay at a second ...
