Saving an opened PDF with 'Save as' and specifying an existing file (different than the one opened) overwrites the file without a warning.

This is counter to best practices and could be painful if the user inadvertently clicks on the wrong file.

Attached is a form with only one 'image' field. Try to delete the entry.

Just to be clear, I'm talking about an end user filling the form. I'm not referring to 'edit form' mode.

claude vidal

After inserting an image in a form field of type 'image', it seems the image cannot be deleted. V7 323.2 Right clicking brings up the menu, but the 'delete' command is disabled. I see the same behavior with Reader DC, which is not reassuring. This form is used by the marketing people and one of the ...

It was on Auto (GDI). After switching to XPS, graphics printed.

Patrick: when you tested, were you on Auto (GDI) ?

Apologies if this has been previously discussed: could not find any recent posts. When printing the attached file from Excel, using 'PDF_Xchange Standard printer' V7 323.2, graphics are not printed. The same file prints correctly using 'Microsoft print to PDF'. I get the same result via File/Print o...

Hello Patrick,

Best wishes. I can confirm the issue, using 323.2. In my case, I'm using a Java script on a form to send an email.

claude vidal

And please, let us change the red of the File tab, please.

claude vidal

Patrick,

Thanks, that a great tip!

claude vidal

Sorry, you're right. What I meant was the ribbon menu.

As evident here, even if there's lots of empty space at the right of the ribbon, it won't 'spread' the icons such that the ribbon becomes less thick

claude vidal

I too find the menu bar very high. Even after specifying smaller icons, the menu bar remains at the same height.

Works great, thanks|

I've experienced this with V6 and now V7. When installing (Win 10-64), the installer will offer to close running applications that could interfere with the installation. Upon agreeing, it succeeds in closing applications and to restart them, except for one important item: Windows Explorer. The end r...

Stefan,

Thanks. I know it's only one click to get rid of the print request, but still annoying. Disabling JS is also one click when opening the document. It's not a perfect world

claude vidal

Stumped by this one! When loading the attached PDF in PDF-XChange Editor (6.0/322.7), it immediately opens the print dialog: how did they do that? And how do I get rid of this?

Tried saving as, same issue.

claude vidal

+1 Great!

claude vidal

Yes, as per post #4.

claude vidal

You're right again (about the origina order), my bad.

claude vidal

Willy, Thanks, your suggestion does work. But I'm still puzzled. With the original order (Text1, Text3, Text2), Text1 (Sub-1) would be calculated first, then Text3 (Total) would be calculated as the sum of Text1 (Sub-1) and Text2 (Sub-2). Even if no number is part of Text2, Text3 should keep in sync...

claude vidal

As per the attached (simplified) form, field Text-1 labelled 'Sub-1' and field Text-2 labelled Sub-2 each sum a group of fields, then field Text-3 labelled 'Total' sums fields Text-1 and Text-2. As I start entering numbers in the upper column, here is the behavior experienced: Sub-1 will always be a...

Pushing the envelop further, how about having a drop down list of all matches (with surrounding text for clarity, for example, 2-3 words before and after), where one could select an item in this list and get the focus redirected to that selected item on its page?

It seems not all objects are eligible for transformation. Form fields can be 'duplicate'd with the Object tab, but 'transform' is disabled.

claude vidal

Stefan,

I can't explain it, but today, all is back in order. It would be nice to know what temporary glitch popped up, but it now works and that's the goal.

Sorry & thanks.

claude vidal

Hi Patrick,

See attached file. I've tried dozens of PDFs with the same result. I believe it has more to do with my installation, but I'll wait for your guidance.

This is intriguing. I have custom stamps and am running 322.0 but I'm able to place custom stamps and have the option of exporting custom stamps.

Is the issue with the OP's particular custom stamps?

I mentioned the possibility my environment might have changed to explain the 'submit a form' not being actionned. I just ruled that out by using the form with Acrobat Reader DC: I saw the confirmation dialog then the email fired. So it appears something got lost in the newer version(s) of the Editor.

Hi Claud, Thank you for the email. I have reproduced this behaviour in the latest build. Could you please try optimising your PDF before re-converting it to an image?

Using the pencil tool, is there a way to draw a straight line? I tried holding Shift, Cntl, Alt, combinations, but no success.

If not currently possible, could this be treated as a feature request?

Thank you for any help.

You could use the Edit Content tool, select the color bands and delete.

I've narrowed down the issue I'm having. If I set 'output type' to 'Preserve original content and Add text layer', then image color is retained (color space: DeviceRGB). If I set 'output type' to 'Create new searchable PDF', then image color is lost (color space: DeviceGray). In both tests: - Accura...

It seems that Window/Split/vertical gets you there.

Doesn't this thread https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... 62&t=26979 address this, or at least offer a pretty good alternative?

Using the editor (6.317.1), I regularly see the system viewer (Edge, even though my default browser is Chrome) "taking over" handling of the .pdf file type association. Usually happens after a Windows update. Very annoying and arrogant on MS's part, of the same essence as the Windows 10 an...

Ah, that explains why Pro is not affected since it does not include the portable version. Thanks.

Once you click inside the 'blue frame rectangle', you fall into 'text box mode'. You can then select any or all of the text and then are able to copy and paste elsewhere. Not as easy as simply copying the 'blue frame rectangle', but it gets you there. Unfortunately, you have to repeat this for every...
