Hot to modify texts in the text boxes?

Post by GiadaS »

Hello,
I already used PDF-XChange Viewer in the past (another PC) but now I downloaded a version (2.5) that does not give me the possiblity to modify the text (size, color, font)!
I already checked in all file functions and I can only highlight, underline or bar the text :evil:
How can I download the text modification functions? Or shall I download a previous/further version of the software?

Thank you.

Hello GiadaS,

Welcome to our forums.
If you are certain you had the viewer before and not e.g. it's successor the PDF XChange Editor:
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/produc ... nge-editor
Then the version you have recently downloaded from our website should offer you the same features as what you had before.

To be able to 'change' text in a PDF File with the Viewer - this text has to be in an annotation.
There is no possibility to edit base content text with the Viewer. This feature was added in the Editor.

In any case - I would recommend you to try the Editor, as the Viewer has been discontinued for over 4 years now, and no new features or updates have been provided for it recently.

Regards,
Stefan

Thank you Stefan for your quick answer.
I now have a doubt :oops: os the Editor free as the viewer? For sure I used a free version, so if the Editor is free, it can be that I used it!
