PDF XChange Forum

Hi, PHK when I do it on a multi-page PDF the Enter key is sending me to the next page in the Print Preview. If the last thing I adjusted was the bounding box that is what I see. If the last thing I changed was an option to the side of the preview then the Enter key works for me. I am not sure if thi...

Hi, Jens,

we have your dump file and are investigating.

Thanks for that.

Hi, PHK I spoke to the devs about this. I learned that this is dependent on the application that sends the print job. Not all applications will send the path. AutoCAD does, Word does not for example. If the path is available we use it in the %[DocPath] macro. If we look for it and what we get is a b...

Hi, JeremySaul

as I understand it the feature is still a work in progress and that we do not yet compare form field contents.

So indeed for this particular use it may not yet be the right tool.

Hi, basithicon@gmail.com thanks for the post. That is a lot of work just to produce a PDF! Would it help if we investigated why the initial rotation causes file size increase? Do you want to send us the original and output as you describe here: We have a few PDFs having Page rotation 90 degrees by d...

Hi, again Bladd, I am pleased to be able to tell you the devs have agreed to look into the case and do some more. We will think later how to do best. Just checked the MS Office and seems they always display the Format tab when object like shape or image is selected.. It is not considered high priori...

Hi, bruce jacobson thanks for the post. I think you are saying this is document specific? May we see a sample document? If it is sensitive you may email it to supporet@pdf-xchange.com - just be sure to cross reference this so we know what it is is relation to. Screen shots of the error message(s) wo...

maybe, though I was using local files as well as network ones in my tests.

Hi, bladd

we aim for about two months between new releases. It's not set in stone however and each build delivery depends on what is going on at the time.

There is one coming soon, I am not sure how the suggestion will be we received, we will just have to wait and see.

Hmmm.

OK - I need to reach out to the devs then.

Hi, PHK

It cannot possibly be you...

I thought it was working for me but what I was seeing was because of this:

Hi, bladd welcome to the PDF-XChange forums. The more I think about your suggestion the more I warm to it. I think it would be nice to have the option to make that the active tab when you use a tool that calls on it. Makes sense to me. We dynamically make it available because it is contextually appr...

Hi, steve.mccoy01@gmail.com thanks for the post and report. I assume they plot quickly from our Editor and it is only Adobe that has the slow down? I would want to speak to one of the devs to ask about how the transparency is handled. In the meanwhile, since it is Good Friday and the devs are away u...

Hi, PHK

that is the functionality I see also. Now I played with this a little more I see it isn't working as I thought. I am not actually able to force it to use the source folder.

I am going to chat with the devs after Easter about this to see if it is the software or me...

Hi, again, well the required dev happened to be near and I asked. I am told that it would not be simple. As it was explained to me the content you see on the page can in reality be all over the place internally and it was suggested the results would not be useful. A lot of magic goes on under the ho...

Hi, PHK

aaaagh! I had the wrong pane open! It is a little funny because at first I was saying it doesn't work...

OK - especially since it is available in the Bookmarks Pane I expect this to be possible.
Let me find out and get back to you.

Hi, PHK

it works for me:

Are you on the latest? 10.2.1.385 I don't see an option to turn it on and off. Can you export your settings to file and send them to me to test here?

Hi, mCHSNUg5Pz8cPap

well now you are into details that need the dev team's feedback.

Let me see what they have to say about it and get back to you.

Hi, Jens

that sounds good. I want to create a secure location for the dumps. Can you email support@pdf-xchange.com when you are ready to upload?

Hi, JOST is it specific to this file? If so may we have the file? Email to support@pdf-xchange.com and I will send you a file drop link. If not we would need a "crash dump" https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgebase/459-How-do-I-create-a-dump-file-and-send-it-to-PDF-XChange-for-investigation

Hi, Davide78

have you tried using %[DocPath] in the printer?

May I ask why you want to reprint the PDF rather than use the Save As feature? Printing PDF to PDF typically strips interactive content and is not generally recommended if it can be avoided.

Hi, Kryyth

by definition in the ISO specifications the fields must be filled at the time the stamp is applied. As I understand things it is not possible to make a stamp that can have these modified after applying them.

Have you seen that functionality elsewhere?

Hi, PHK

I was thinking to attempt to reproduce your issue and ask the team why this is happening, but it occurred to ask first, if the duplication is "corrected" by doing a "Save As Optimised"?

Hi, StephBretonne

I do not think that is a feature of the Portable Editor, though I can see it's value.

Do you always keep the files on the USB?

A network path should always be the same if you use the full UNC path rather than any mapped drives.

Hi, stevenm the .exe installers are not really suitable for inTune. The .msi ones will work pretty much out of the box. I do not see a license associated with the domain @slouchmr.com so I assume you are doing an unlicensed installation. That is fine, we encourage the use of the "Free" Edi...

Hi, rfijen thanks for touching base here. There are a few things here now that might help you. If you use "Layers" and "subject" to organize your comments you can then limit what is summarized by turning off unwanted layers and grouping the summary by "Subject". Here is...

Hi again Antonio, the devs have agreed to do something here. I have raised a ticket for the "Feature Request": RT#6839: Feature Request :: Editor :: Option to use a modifier key to perform a 'fragmented' select. Please note that this is considered low priority, as such it will be at the de...

Hi, Eritonio

I see the same. I can use Shift to select a contiguous group but I cannot select multiple words that are not consecutive.

Let me check with the team about that.

Hi, Eritonio

while it is possible to use "rich text" to change the colour of the text in the Sticky Note pop ups, highlight is unfortunately not one of them. You can change the appearance of the text:

I hope that helps.

Kind regards,

Hi, gs-hybrid I am not seeing any difference in how the Editor and Viewer render this PDF. Can you illustrate what you are seeing with a screen shot perhaps? Do note that the Editor is a replacement for the Viewer. We are no longer actively developing the Viewer, so even if this is a bug it is unlik...

Hi, kumar Chrome by default prints images of the text and that is all we have to work with. You say every other printer preserves the text, however all my tests when printing a pdf result in image based PDF, unless I "Save As" PDF which is a different process entirely. I am keen to underst...

Hi, RSK as you say it should be a trusted folder and how one defines that trust. There is a per user folder %appdata%\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor\3.0\JavaScripts There is a per machine folder: %programfiles%\Tracker Software\PDF Editor\JavaScripts Both these are "trusted" locations and whe...

That put a smile on some faces.

We appreciate the thoroughness and professionalism of your report.

Hi, rakunavi while we agree that it makes sense, it is not trivial to implement, especially if/when the target document is not a PDF. The devs agreed to try and do something, it is considered low priority and "long term" but it is formally in the system: RT#6835: Feature Request :: Editor ...

Hi, Evie There are two places the stamps are stored, per machine and per user locations. See here for details: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowledgebase/175-How-do-I-copy-a-custom-Stamps-Palette-for-other-users-to-use You can just copy the PDF n the stamps folder and send it to us: image.png Kind re...

Hi, Davide78 thanks for the post. Is it only in form fields that you see this? I suspect the forms have that set to auto size. It is hard to say without seeing the PDF. Is there any chance we can see the PDF? If it is something you would prefer not in public yo can email it to support@pdf-xchange.co...

Hi, guys the devs agree: RT#6824: Feature Request :: Editor :: show document thumbnails when asking to save before closing Thumbnails are the intention, switching to the document is much more complex, we will look into it, and what eventuates will be the devs think best here. At this point there is ...

Hi, Mathew

Boom!

That is so slick. I'll be using this for sure. Very much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Paul - Tracker Supp

Hi, bqxmprij that is possible but not recommended. The following settings will have Tools overwrite the source files without interaction. image.png You choose the source folder and use the original file name. But we strongly recommend against doing this. If you do this there will be no possibility o...

Hi, rob@wilqo.com

thanks for the detailed post. JavaScript can also be document level, access them from the document Properties (ctrl+d):

If there is nothing there maybe send us the file to look into?

Kind regards,
Paul - Tracker Supp

Hi, Mathew this is really neat. I see it works with annotations that have text on the page, but not popups associated with annotations like Highlight when the option to copy the highlighted text to a popup is enabled. Is that by design? Really nice work. I see the tool in the Ribbon UI under "M...

Hi, again

the devs have confirmed this is a bug and we will squash it. There is an associated ticket for this, and while for internal use only, referring to RT#6823: Editor :: Measurement Tool inconsistency on documents >300 inches

Kind regards,
Paul - Tracker Supp

Hi, hotero@wrallp.com my apologies, I didn't get back to yo on this. I am seeing the behaviour only with your file. The settings seem to have no impact. If I do the same on a different file the two reported distances do match, even with your settings, so I am asking the devs to take a look today. I ...

Hi, Jensen Head

so is it not working even with the Editor permission having been granted? That is all I have ever had to do for it to work.

Where does this leave you? Sorry if I am being obtuse here...

Kind regards,
Paul - Tracker Supp

Hi, guys

that link to the JavaScript API is correct. This is the official API we support.

Kind regards,
Paul - Tracker Supp
