You are talking about the "Bookmarks" pane ? After a right-mouse-click on a specific bookmark or on a selection of multiple bookmarks in the "Bookmarks" pane, you can click "Properties..." (the very last item in the menu). In the "Properties" pane, at the right of your screen, you can change the "Fi...

It goes about the "Redaction" tool. While using the Classic Toolbars in PDF-XChange Editor, once you have clicked the Document-menu > Redaction > Mark for Redaction, you will get an extra toolbar where you can click the "Redaction Fill Color" icon to change the color. While using the Ribbon User Int...

Most probably this specific problem will have to be fixed by Tracker Software Development. In other PDF-readers (like Adobe Acrobat Reader DC), selecting text in your sample PDF is working correctly. At this moment, to be able to select text in your PDF with PDF-XChange Editor, you have to go into t...

It seems like your PDF has a mix of contents. The first page is a complete image, the following pages have some text on it, page 11 is full of hyperlinks. To have a clear view on the content of your PDF, you can activate the "Content" pane, via View > (Other) Panes. In that content pane, you can cli...

Thanks for testing that @coffent.

That's another addition to our knowledge for now.

Willy Van Nuffel

Hi, Make sure to open at least one document in PDF-XChange Editor. Then, right-mouse-click in the blank space (at the right) of whatever ribbon. The toolbar-selection-pane will show up. Most probably you will see that all your "Document Toolbars" are turned OFF in the current situation. Turn ON the ...

Good to know that extracting pages is a possible workaround for now and that a cleanup of the history accelerates the startup of the application. Can I ask you to run the following test: Extract 'all' the pages of your 414p document to a new document. After this, delete pages in the new document and...

Willy Van Nuffel

In the meantime: - verify if there are one or more embedded files (View > (Other) Panes > Attachments) - verify the version of PDF-XChange Editor (latest is V8.0.343.0) - work-around: extract the pages that you like to keep to a new document (Document (or Organize) > Extract Pages...) - about the lo...

Hi, Can you please verify if the option "Always use Incremental Save" is turned OFF in File (or Edit) > Preferences > Documents ? If NOT, the file size will not be reduced when saving after deleting one or more pages. See similar topic : https://forum.tracker-software.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=32729 ...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hi, 1) Glad to read that a restore of the settings has worked and that it has resolved the problem. 2) I understand that the reason for not seeing the "Export Settings" icon was just the vertical scrollbar that was not in the top position. 3) What Paul wants to say is that PDF-XChange Editor only wr...

Willy Van Nuffel

The RegFileExport application is a command-line program. This means that you have to use the Command Prompt window for this. I will try to explain what you have to do, step by step: 1) create a separate folder on the hard disk of your computer for this special purpose, for example C:\BXR 2) in this ...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hello, From what I am reading here, I think there is a little misunderstanding. I suppose Paul is talking in his latest post about the registry key with the license key of PDF-XChange Editor, not about the registry key with the settings that need to be restored. In case you have access to files like...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hi, It seems like it worked before: https://forum.tracker-software.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=34731&p=144136 or did you never repeat 'indentation' in other documents until now ? I have tried to reproduce the problem, i.e. same indentation not working anymore after clicking "Make Current Text Format De...

Something more about "layers" in PDF-documents is available in the online PDF-XChange Editor manual: https://help.tracker-software.com/pdfxe8/layers-pane_ed.html When it goes about PDF-"levels", it is more about compatibility levels and pdf-specifications. I suppose it is not that what you mean: htt...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hi,

Normally you should be able to set your preferred choice in PDF-XChange Editor via File/Edit > Preferences > Tools.

Best regards.

Willy Van Nuffel

So, a possible work-around is to 'temporarily' change the color-properties of the invisible text-layer, to make editing possible: - activate the Content pane (View-menu > Other Panes > Content /or/ View-ribbon > Panes > Content) - activate the Properties pane (View-menu > Other Panes > Properties Pa...

Hi Camaalot,

I opened your PDF but I do not immediately see the problem.

Can you specify - by means of an image file with some remarks - where the white boxes are located ?

Regards.

Willy Van Nuffel

Hi, For as far as I know, that feature does not yet exist in PDF-XChange Editor (v8.0.343.0). What about a work-around ? - right-mouse-click on the search-results - click "Annotate highlighted result" - choose (for example) "Hightlight results" - then, in the Comments pane, select the Comments that ...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hi Red,

Good to know that your problem has been solved.

Kind regards.

Willy Van Nuffel

Hi, The three comment-tools that you are mentioning are not part of the default Home-ribbon. I suppose you have added them via Customize Toolbars. I have tried to reproduce the problem by customizing my own Home-ribbon. The pop-up panes for Distance, Area and Perimeter keep showing after a right mou...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hi, Maybe the most easy way to accomplish this, is to use the Highlight Text Tool in combination with Pop-up Notes. So, highlight the text, right-mouse-click on the highlighted text, click "Open Pop-up Note" in the shortcut-menu, and type your comments. If you like to continue to highlight text and ...

Willy Van Nuffel

Wow, it can't be easier.

Thanks Daniel.

Willy Van Nuffel

Additional info: In case the problem should persist after using PDF-XChange Editor instead of PDF-XChange Viewer, then please try the solution explained in the following thread: https://forum.tracker-software.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=34706 Kind regards. - - - - Plus d'informations: Si le problème pe...

In PDF-XChange Editor: First, make sure that "Open each new document in a new window" is turned OFF, via File (or Edit) > Preferences > General > Setup... After this, open the two PDF's. In the classic menu user interface: - Window-menu > Active Document to New Horizontal Tab Group In the ribbon use...

Willy Van Nuffel

Thanks @smaak to tell us the whole story.

Without that knowledge, it would have been very difficult for someone else to find the cause of the problem.

So, finally, your PDF-forms will work like intended.

Best regards.

Willy Van Nuffel

Hello,

With both example PDF's I have made (see attachments), I was not able to reproduce the problem.

Nor in PDF-XChange Editor v8.0.343.0, nor in Adobe Acrobat Reader 2020.013.20074

Can you post a sample PDF onto this form that shows the problem?

Best regards.

Willy Van Nuffel

With pleasure.

Hello MJM It was not clear to me that you dragged the menu entry itself onto one of your toolbars and then deleted it. I am searching for a way to restore it without resetting all toolbars, but is does not seem obvious at first sight. EDIT with solution: - right click on one of your toolbars and cli...

Good news (in case the signatures are still in the toolbar and you did not yet delete them): It seems like, when you are in "Customize Toolbars"-mode, and then you do the reverse way, i.e. pressing the CTRL-key and dragging the signatures from your toolbar back to the Documents-menu > Signatures and...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hello, 1) My goal was asking you to post two sample PNG-files onto this forum. That's why I mentioned that it must not be "real" signatures. Just for having an example of the 'before' and the 'after' situation. In the meantime I have done a test myself via LunaPic, with a PNG-file of 402 x 174 pixel...

Willy Van Nuffel

Hello MJM,

Can we please have an original picture and also the resulting picture from LunaPic after removal of the background ?

It does not have to be a real signature.

Bonjour, The spell-checker in PDF-XChange Editor is a plug-in. So, look into the "Preferences..." of PDF-XChange Editor (via the File or Edit menu). Click "Plug-ins" in the column at the left. After this, make sure that the check-box for the "Spell Checker" is turned ON, in the list at the right. Cl...

Hopefully, you have a recent back-up copy of your PDF. To make sure if there are still comments in your document, please look into the Comments pane (View > Other panes > Comments).

One could think about a SHIFT click in PDF-XChange Editor to open the bookmark reference in a new tab. In the same way as a SHIFT click on a hyperlink in a browser to open the destination in a new tab. A work-around to keep a copy of the PDF open in a new tab is to right-click the current tab and th...

Willy Van Nuffel

Thanks Daniel.

So, Fast Web View is not something to be recommended.

Kind regards.

Willy Van Nuffel

Thanks Daniel for your additional information.

Willy Van Nuffel

Maybe also compare the print resolution between the two applications?
See behind the "More..."-button in PDF-XChange Editor's print dialog-box.

Still up to Tracker Software Support if something more can be done to reduce printing-times.

Best regards.

Willy Van Nuffel

Most probably it goes about PDF's with "scanned" pages. They do NOT contain real text, but only images. For this kind of PDF's the highlighter tool will not work. Two options: 1) Run OCR on these documents to make them searchable and by this, make it possible to use the highlighter tool 2) Use anoth...

Unfortunately, currently I do not have a (real) printer available for testing. I only ran a few tests in PDF-XChange Editor, version 8.0.343, with (virtual) printers like PDF-XChange Lite, PDF-XChange Standard, Microsoft Print to PDF and Foxit Reader PDF Printer. They all take no longer than 1 minut...

Willy Van Nuffel

Can you please first verify the Print dialog-box in PDF-XChange Editor and look for the "Print as image" checkbox at the bottom, at the left. Normally it should be turned OFF. Are you prepared to post an example-PDF here on this forum ? If not, you can also send that file to tracker support for inve...
