Fixed in 328

Thanks for the information. If you have more PDFs with 3D generated by this tool, we would appreciate if you can share. In regards other formats - PDF can contain 3D streams in U3D or PRC format. And now PDF Association is in the middle of a discussion to add support for STEP format. The Editor supp...

The issue is fixed in build 328 which we expect to be released on December 10th.

For now, we found the following issues with the U3D stream in your file: 1. "File size" field in File Header has value zero, while it should contain the actual number of bytes in the stream (section 9.4.1.4 of U3D spec) 2. Parent node data (9.5.1.2 in the U3D spec) for top-level group node...

fixed in build 328

As you mentioned Print_JS.pdf has document-level JS script this.print({bUI:true,bSilent:false,bShrinkToFit:true}); which is executed when document is opened, and will show print dialog. Another place which causes the print dialog to show is the document's Open Action which has the same JS action (se...

I keep being flabbergasted how low a priority all Windows based PDF viewers put on more solid search results. Editor already is among the faster of the bunch. But the lack of indexing and the even worse lack of good search result presentations makes it look as if PDF search was not an important fun...

The Editor crops the page absolutely correctly, at least in conformance with the PDF Specification.
Page boxes do not have to have an origin (0, 0), and all applications should handle such boxes in a proper way.

Actually, you can use snapshot tool in both cases. When the option "Use specified resolution for snapshot images" is not set, an image generated by the snapshot tool will have the same dimensions in pixels as your selected area. Just make a snapshot and paste it into an image editor, like ...

When you select, say, 2 inches per 3 inches portion of the page, the snapshot tool will place into clipboard an image with the following dimensions in pixels: width = 2 * dpi height = 3 * dpi where dpi - is the values specified in settings when "Use specified resolution for snapshot images"...

The Editor has some options for the Snapshot tool. Please check Preferences ( Ctrl + K ) -> Snapshot Tool. When an option "Use specified resolution for snapshot images" is set, a selected portion is rendered using specified DPI value (and 100% zoom). When it is not set, the portion is rend...

Thanks for the clear description.
I reproduced the issue and fixed it. The fix will be included in build 327.1

If your maintenance still valid, you can use your license for V7.
Otherwise or without a license, you will have a demo labels, but that should not be too critical for testing purposes, I believe.

Not much. I cannot reproduce it locally, and cannot understand yet why it happens on your side.
Can you check if the latest version of the driver (V7.0.327.0) has the same issue in your environment?

We will try to modify rendering in the Editor to turn off ClearType only when it is necessary.
It will not be included in 327.1, but most likely in 328.0 later this year.

What is the difference between using Stroke Adjust "Auto" and "On"? Seems to me that "Auto" and "On" are the same, in which case there should not be an "Auto" option at all. Anyway, for the time being I advice against using Stroke Adjust unless wher...

Thanks for the chart. In regards issues with rendering lines (especially thin lines) when aa is not enabled - I made some changes, and now it looks better but still far from perfect. I will not include those changes in build 327.1 we are going to release soon, because I still have to work on that a ...

Please change the value and the default value of your "Tax_rate" field to 0.1 instead of 0,1, and that will solve the issue.
In one of the next build, I will add a validation for field's default value.

Can you send us any PDF file that demonstrates the issue?

Anyway, for the time being I advice against using Stroke Adjust unless where it solves a specific problem in your PDF as mentioned in this thread here. I also suggest that Editor does *not* enable it by default, because the lack of anti-aliasing on straight horizontal and vertical lines is detrimen...

The problem is because this TSA returns too much data which exceed reserved size.
I will increase reserved size for TSA response (to 10KB) and also I have added an option to change this size in runtime when needed.

When you write that Acrobat does "not use Cleartype always" I assume you mean that it uses its own type of sub-pixel rendering?! Because my example screenshot clearly show that Acrobat does use sub-pixel rendering for the font, just more subtle (less intensive red/blue). Or do you mean th...

Here is what I have (Windows 10, 96 dpi, 100% zoom, Editor v.327.0)

What is 'funny', Acrobat renders e absolutely the same as the Editor does. Do we have different Arial font?

PDF files would be much appreciated. We do not do ClearType rendering on some circumstances, and Acrobat does not use ClearType always.
Probably we have to refine conditions when to use and when do not use ClearType.

I made a simple form trying to reproduce the problem but seems I was unsuccessful in that. Can you please check my form (it just output text field value to the JS console, when the button is pressed) and let me know what you are doing differently? Or send me your form which has the problem and I wil...

Just in case, if you are not familiar with regedit, there is a bit easier way. 1. In the Editor open JavaScript console (Ctrl + J) 2. copy and run the following script: app.setOption("Tools.TypeWriter.Preview", false); done :) Maybe even just the letter 'T' would be better than 'Typewriter...

Implemented in 327.1

I still wonder why hinting has to be enabled for True Type fonts to remain at consistent height then? Why is a 6 larger than a 4 and 5 with the True Type font when hinting is disabled, while the Type 1 font works without hinting? I would like to understand this rather than just enable hinting witho...

Will work on our rendering, especially on non-aa mode.

I created sample pdf printing your last post using Arial, 11. You can find my file in attachments. I compared rendering by the Editor (pxce_ files) and Acrobat (adbe_ files) on two zoom levels 100% and 125%. I cannot say they equal pixel by pixel, but taking into account absolutely different code fo...

This is "fixed" in 327 by activating Text Hinting (by default) No, the fix was implemented in a deferent way :) Text Hinting is and was activated by default from the very beginning of the Editor. What was changed, is the way we use FreeType library to render or outline glyphs. I do wonder...

Thanks for the files. Will work on that issue

Yes, I remember this code. I just wondered because there is no other trace from it except "OnFileSaved" and "Detach". Please send me the pdfSaver's dump file. you can upload it on our server. here is KB how to do that https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgebase/321-How-do-I-upload-...

While Alex on vacation, I can try to help you. Unfortunately, I do not work with PowerBuilder or C#, but I can show you an example on C++. It is quite simple, and I guess there are no problem to get the concept: IPXC_AcroFormPtr pAcroForm = coredoc->AcroForm; int numFields = pAcroForm->FieldsCount; ...

Did you trace only OnFileSaved event, or other events too? I'm wondering if OnError event was fired or not.

That rendering issue is fixed in build 327.0

The Editor does not store your credentials in your system, and for sure does not send it to any server (including ours) except the destination SP server. Once authentication is successful, the Editor stores the so-called access token locally, this token is used for all future communications with the...

Done in build 327.0

I found that the issue is on our WaitForPrintEvent implementation when it is called from multiple processes. We are going to fix that issue, but the fix will only be included in V7. So, to avoid that problem, I implemented the printer's events listening in your sample. Please find your modified Prin...

I can reproduce the issue, will take a look where the problem is.
But the biggest issue is that it is V6 of the driver, while we do provide now V7

- Which elements did you identify as "should be rasterized" and which as "should not be rasterized"? Since there are only shapes and text present I wonder why anything needs rasterization at all?! Especially since I set font rendering to "Auto", hoping to force Editor ...

Yes, I can provide you a debug version of the pdfSaver6.exe. This version generates debug outputs that can be collected by sysinternals' (Microsoft) utility Debug View. Please send me an email (ivan@tracker-software.com) with your system details (I need to know if it is 32- or 64-bit windows), and I...

The issue is fixed now, and the fix will be available in build 327.0 we are expecting to have released later this month.

This feature is implemeted in build 327.0

Thanks, Steve, Yes, your code is correct, just if (FAILED) case will never work, as any fauilre will trigger an exception. That's because when a non-raw import is used, the compiler makes wraps original interface functions with some error handling code. For example, here is how WaitForPrintEvent loo...

E_ABORT is returned when during specified wait period the request even had not happened.
Also please note, you have to handle com exceptions if you are using non-raw imports.

Printers are left behind because at the moment printer is trying to be removed when the instance of IPXCControlEx released, but if the printer is busy at this moment it cannot be removed and will be left. We are working on a better mechanism for automatically removing orphaned printers, and hope it ...

Please add

Code: Select all

pFactory6->RemoveOrphanPrinters(L"", L"PDF-XChange Standard V6");

before call to pPrinter6 = pFactory6->Printer.
