PDF XChange Forum

As the topic title suggests, PDFXchange Editor Plus did not find new updates (317.0 installed, hoping to see 317.1). I did see Win10 advising that there was a new update though. Just wondering what is the best method of getting the updates.

claude vidal

On 317.0, 'Shift-arrow' moves the object about 10 times as much a a simple 'arrow'. We're suggesting it should be the opposite.

claude vidal

... 5. If I have a specific shape/text-box selected, using keyboard arrows to move the object does so in very small increments, while holding the Shift-key does so in larger increments. Is there a way to do the opposite where the regular arrows move in large increments and the Shift-key is for fine...

Hi Claude, Not a offended at all! We usually reply fairly quickly, but it can take longer depending on the current load and the complexity of the issue. For this particular problem, I suspect that it's simply not something that has been implemented. Can you upload a sample document, before it is si...

As I understand it, digitally signing a PDF prevents alterations (all or some) but allows buttons to still be functional. I've created a form which I sent to the client, which he filled and sent back. I now want to confirm our agreement with this client, so I wanted to digitally signed it so the cl...

Hi Claude, I'm afraid that we will not be offering a way to view PDF's in Chrome. As mentioned in a previous post, the API that they provide is extremely limiting and very, very buggy. The best that we can manage is the same as Adobe: we'll offer a plugin that will automatically open the PDF in our...

... I'm going to bring this up at our next support meeting, next week, to see if we have a more definitive answer, or even a definitive "No, it can't be done" to provide users. Thanks, Is there a "definitive" answer on this? Chrome's internal PDF viewer gets you to a point, but ...

... Dev team : Perhaps another feature request? Replace the functionality of the currency symbol (in number format) to a more generic literal string where the author could add any string of characters that would be appended to, or precede the number. This would be in addition to the already preset ...

One approach is discussed here http://www.uwec.edu/help/Acrobat9/for-date.htm. Fairly easy to implement even if not familiar with Javascript.

Or you can look into this REMOVED, DUE TO INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT. I've used it for years, never fails.

claude vidal

Suggestion for a work-around: Is it possible to use a numeric field with decimals, instead of a percentage ? You could put the "%" symbol at the right of the form field. You can do the same way with currency symbols, by putting them at the left of the form field. Best regards. Great idea ...

claude vidal

Another approach, albeit more drastic, is Window/Reset Document Pane layout.

claude vidal

A form field defined as Number will initially display blank until a value is entered. A form field defined as Percentage will initially display 0% (with decimals if so defined), even if no value has been entered, instead of blank. I believe formatting should kick in only when a value is entered by t...

claude vidal

I've created a field (FIELD-A) in a form so that I can change, as the author, its value over time. I set it to "read only and locked" so that the user filling the form cannot alter the contents of that specific field. I also included on the form a 'reset form' button for the user to wipe o...

claude vidal

Hi Claude, I believe that this is because only the data contained in the form is exported, rather than the particular properties of that field. This means that $125.50 would be converted to 125.5, due to the field's properties specifying a general number format, to 1 decimal place. I believe that t...

claude vidal

I have a form where some fields are defined as numbers with 2 decimal places and a $ sign. When exporting and importing the same data into an identical empty form, the data displayed seems to ignore all format definitions for those fields. Here's the scenario: 1- When I initially enter data in those...

... I've found what appears as bugs or inconsistencies: 1- The font "Arial Black', although appearing in the drop down list, can not be selected 2- Text box form fields can have the surrounding rectangle real tight around the text, except for the bottom part which always has approximately 6 po...

I have a group of 2 radio buttons. I need them to be unchecked by default and I set this form field (group) as 'required', such that the user needs to press one or the other. On submitting the completed form, leaving the 2 radio buttons untouched does not trigger the "... required ..." mes...

Ability to specify font style (italic, bold, italic-bold) on form fields

claude vidal

In the Edit Forms mode, it is possible, by right clicking a field, to toggle tab numbers. It would be great if this also gave the option to toggle label names. Especially with smaller fields, the label can cover most of it and it is difficult to visualize the changes just made to it (ex.: color, fon...

Hi claude, Quickly testing here, I am able to copy/paste form fields between PDFs. Do note that the Edit form feature must be active to copy form fields. Pasting works if the feature is active or not. Do note that some forms cannot be edited using our software because they have been blocked for use...

I really, really want PDFXchange Editor to be my only PDF tool: so much slicker than the other fill & save form editor I use. As I said in my initial post, V6 has many of the bells and whistles, but is lacking in this release some important features. I already mentioned the lack of automatic fie...

claude vidal

No need to re-install. Please go back and read the post. Will saw the problem as well. It happens when you use Fit Width as the zoom, which is what I always use. With Fit Width as the zoom, there seems to be a pattern: every 3rd character typed will lose the cursor; the pattern is not constant thou...

claude vidal

Arnold, There must be a set of particular parameters/criteria for that missing cursor. I'm using 6.0.317.0 as well and not seeing the behavior you describe, nor have I in previous versions. I even tried one of the PDF's you attached in previous posts on this topic. Not to add to your frustration and...

Hi Claude, Thanks for the post, I'm glad that you're liking things so far :D The Wizards will be thrilled! I'll go through and answer each point in turn: My comments in red 1- Ability to set tab order (auto, by click, by table); this one is a real killer for me This was discussed in the testing pha...

claude vidal

... Setting the tab order can already be done, though it's not immediately obvious. To do this, you'll need to open the Fields Pane ( View --> Other Panes --> Fields Panep ) and order the entries by page ... What a relief! Thanks for pointing out the (not so obvious) location of that function. :win...

... Just a note, the new V6 Editor manual can be found here: https://help.pdf-xchange.com/PDFXEdit6/default.aspx#pageid=Editor_Welcome Funny how the V6 Editor's Help button still points at V5 documentation. And on the page Will refers to, the download link also points to the V5 version. So, two que...

Thanks for posting this: I had the same issue, now I don't!

And of course thanks to the Dev team for implementing.

claude vidal

I believe it would be good to create a specific forum for the new "forms" capability of PDF-XChange Editor Plus V6. Until then, here are my first impressions... I personally really like the approach the Dev team has taken for this Form creation feature. It's intuitive and it has most of th...

The object of my previous tests was created like this: 1- Print a page from an existing PDF document 2- Scan & OCR that page image I did the following test. I loaded the original PDF document into the Editor and asked it to OCR that same page. I thought bypassing the analog part of scanning a pr...

claude vidal

This issue has a strange behavior for me. Cancelling an OCR command will not always crash the Editor. When it does, it does so after a certain delay (~ 5 secs?). After cancelling the OCR, I'm able to perform other commands on the same document then, all of a sudden, the Editor's process gets killed.

Hi Stefan, Thanks for looking into this. Given that my initial speed test was using a document with sensitive personal information, I ran another test: - 300 dpi - OCR language English this time - Color - Scanned image contains more images, less text For this test, the speed ratio was 6.6 instead of...

claude vidal

I did a speed test on the scan + OCR of a one page document. The scanner is a Canon LIDE 220. I used PDFXchange Editor 316.1 and the software bundled with the scanner (Canon quick menu). Both scans were at 300 DPI, auto-detect for color, OCR was using the same language (French) and OCR set to auto a...

claude vidal

I'm so looking forward to that release! Note: my mention hereafter of a competing product is only meant to emphasize how much better Xchange's 'fillable form' plugin can be. In the mean time, I had to purchase a competing product (PDFill) to create fillable fields. PDFill is simply not adequate as a...

claude vidal

Thanks for the explanation. I am using local certificates. so that explains it. I'll be waiting then for the next release.

claude vidal

Just purchased Pro 5.5 (build 316.1) and am having the same issue as initial poster. I'm a bit concerned that it's been 4 months without an answer.

If I'm the author of a document (not sure how I can attest to that within PDFXchange editor), I should be able to clear my own digital signatures.
