Is it possible to keep all links to webpages inside Emails when converting them to pdf-files? I tried various settings but to no avail. Only links like http://www.xyz.com or similar phrases are still active after printing. However underlined words that actually contain links are ignored. I attached ...

Hi Patrick, I am using the latest version 317.1 - should have mentioned this right away. Here is one of the files that cause problems.I just tested it again and this time it took me 3 attempts before the Editor crashed.It came up with an error message before it shut down. The pdf-file was produced w...

Hi Will,
so far everything is fine.My stamps are created and I am happy with it.
Great forum here & great support from the support team and users as well.
Can't mention it enough.....

Hi Willy,

I never thought of a possible DPI-problem.This might/will explain why I still had to resize my png-files before inserting them into the Editor via drag and drop.Need to keep an eye on that in future.

thanks for your input - appreciated !

Hi, this morning I created some more stamps and I couldn't reproduce the problem.JPG and PNG-files are now the same size on the screen.It is possible that my files (which I posted earlier)are somehow corrupt and if you cannot reproduce the same problem with files of your own then just leave it as it...

Hi, I started to convert Electronic symbols into stamps for documentation purposes. So far I was able to create exactly the stamps I wanted but I experienced a strange behavior.I am not sure if it is a problem with my graphics program or a minor bug in the Editor: Saving pictures as png-files and in...

Hi Will & Willy, thanks for your replies ! I just tested another way to move pages over a long distance. I first extracted the pages I wanted to move into a new pdf-file,deleted some "empty" bookmarks and then inserted the file back into the original pdf-file at the desired position.Th...

Hi Will, I have read a lot of your postings on this forum and I can tell you if anyone is obtuse here then it's me. I uploaded a second video that might demonstrate the difference between the Viewer and Editor more clearly. If I drag a page in the Viewer the numbers under the thumbnail frames always...

HaPe

Hi Will, I made a short video.On the left is the PDFviewer whose thumbnail frames are "frozen" while dragging which makes it much easier to follow the number count.It's still a bit tricky but much better than in the Editor.The video is a bit too short, so watch closely the first 2 seconds ...

Hi Will, The "trouble" with drag & drop is,that it is quite tiresome when moving pages over a very long distance (several hundred or thousand pages...). The cut and paste option didn't exist in the old PDF-Viewer and when using it in the Editor it was actually quite awesome: Within a c...

Hi Stefan,
I just created a pdf-file containing 4 pages from scratch.On each page I inserted a textbox and
then created bookmarks using the "new bookmark" button.
After cutting page 3 and pasting it under the first page the bookmark named "3" doesn't work anymore.

HaPe

After rearranging pages with the "cut & paste"-option (right mouse click inside
thumbnail pane),bookmarks pointing to these pages don't work anymore.
Is this a bug or normal behaviour?

Aaaah I see Looks like one has to have an imgur account.So I created one and was then able to see the share options. OK - I'll give it another try.Shame on me if I fail again...... This time I don't use the Forum Editors "Img" options and just copy/paste the link from Imgur.Here it comes -...

Hi Radi, I have a question regarding inserting pictures directly into a posting. I tried it in my previous posting,but it didn't show up. Here is what I did: took a screenshot and uploaded it to imgur.com I then used the "Img" option and inserted the link to the uploaded picture between th...

Hello Shay,
just out of curiosity:
Does it have to be a textbox or do you just want to create some kind of a header?
Using the header/footer function would be another way to get a text centred on the top of a page.

Thanks Paul for your quick reply.
It's not a life threatening issue so tell the Dev-team to take their time

Also thanks for your hint to use the option "as stamp annotation" when adding pictures.That actually works fine and keeps the aspect ratio while resizing....

Hi Paul, it obviously only happens to objects which don't have this tiny rectangle that appears when placing them on the grid. The Sound,Sticky Note and Attachment-symbol have all the same problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iesnqk369Dg Another (visually) strange thing happens when placing a te...

The alignment tool seems to be working fine only when I use the "Actual Size" (1:1) option. When I use "Fit Page" or "Fit Width" and try to align for instance textboxes or attachment symbols I am getting random results. Not sure if this a problem with my system or a bug...

I am German myself.When looking up the word "collate" in my dictionaries I get a translation like this:

"to assemble in proper sequence"

please have a look at my attached file.One page is an excerpt from the PDF-Xchange manual.It might give you a clue how it works.

HaPe

Thanks Will for the information.
It isn't really an issue for me.Just thought I let you know in case it would have been a bug with the Editor.

Your quick response is appreciated.
Thanks again

Yes

Tools 4 is listed but it won't launch when I click on it.Somehow strange given the fact that other programs that I tested work fine.

I am using the latest version of PDF-XChange Editor Plus : 6.0 (Build 317.1). When trying to launch PDF Tools 4 with the build-in "launch pad" nothing happens but I can launch PDF Tools 6, Adobe Reader and various other programs without any problems. I can still launch PDF Tools 4 outside ...

Fillable form fields are lost (content is still available but can't be changed anymore) when inserting or extracting a page that contains them.Is this an intended behaviour or a bug?

I think what you are looking for is the "Redaction" tool.Not sure if this available in the free version:

Others have chimed in to say this is an important feature Having an automatic Form Field Recognition feature makes life so much easier.I made a small video comparing PDF Xchange and PDFill side by side to demonstrate this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cafQON5Xync&feature=youtu.be PDF Xchange...

It's not a big deal for me.Just saw it when I was playing with the new version. I'm not gonna die because of this....

Yes the cropping tool works quite nicely but I have one question regarding the preview.
There are 4 cropping options available and the default is "Manual Control of Margins". If I change this to any other option shouldn't that be visually reflected in the preview window?

Hi dxcarnadi, as soon as you start moving the floating pane three little symbols appear on the screen (on the right & left side and at the top ) If you want to dock the pane to the left side move the title bar of the pane over the left symbol. watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77g...

Hi Radi,hi Sasha, thanks for your replies. I would be really grateful if you could fix this.I now know that this is obviously not a bug of the Editor. I am looking forward to see a solution in a couple of weeks or so.For the time being I will be using PDF Tools 4 to merge files. thanks in advance HaPe

Hi Sasha, regarding the first problem you mean the 3rd-party converter to convert html-pages to pdf ist the culprit? I was just wondering why it works with PDF Tools 4.

Hi Sasha,

Hi Will,
I cannot reproduce the "crash" anymore.At the time when it happened it occured 2-3 times in a row,so I could capture it on my screen-recorder.However after restarting my system (Bill Gates wanted to update my system
