In older versions of Free Viewer (on expired PC) I could change a bookmarks appearance (font) color, bold, italic ... of individual bookmarks.
In the free Viewer version I have on this newer PC ... bookmarks I create cannot be formatted via Bookmark Properties.-> Appearance
- both Style and Color controls are disabled, so at some stage they were/are available. Free Viewer: v2.5.322.7 (11-Aug-2017)
Do the same limitations apply in Free Editor and Paid Editor
I have appreciated being able to use the Free Viewer for several years but now I am making more use of PDFs and am ready to buy Editor + Tools combo
Fiddling with various programs and online converters is a case of hit or miss when trying to create, and particularly edit PDFs
I am wasting too much valuable time with a pandoras box of bits and pieces
The sticking point with Editor, for several years has been the ribbon was/is a critical space hog on laptops.
Somewhere (I think) I read Editor offers optional Toolbars UI now
Thank you for your patience

Thanks for that - This works perfectly in the Editor, so I'd recommend that you switch to the Editor here, as no further changes are being made to the Viewer.
Cheers,

Where can I download (URL) the free version of Editor. All I can find is "free download" which has nothing to do free version.
Regretfully I am not in a position to buy anything, the embarrassment of being 73 and depending on social security.
Just when I think we can afford the $100 AUD medical issues sabotage "our" plans

I'm sorry to hear that! I'd always thought the healthcare in Aus. was more like the UK and Canada? If not, perhaps a revolution is needed Having said that, sometimes private is the only viable option. I know I've been there personally, when public healthcare was too slow. All the best there!
No worries though, there's no need for a license here - This is a free feature of the Editor. We actually don't have separate installers for Free/vs. licensed software, how the software functions is determined simply by the presence/absence of a license key. The direct download link is as follows: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/PDFXVE7.zip

I downloaded and compared Viewer with Editor based on the same PDF file
Sorry to report the Editor toolbars are not classic toolbars, I am still better off with Viewer for screen real estate.
2018-08-10 Viewer vs Editor.zip
IMO Editor toolbars are just a variation on the ribbon theme.
Is there any way I can "compact" the Editor toolbars in height ?
In customize mode I tried dragging toolbars items but they don't drag ...
Also how can I disable "hints" and just live with icons and captions the hints very quickly become "nags"
Note: Just discovered Tracker forum will not let me drag and drop the ZIP file, the forum program shows an alert assuming I want to leave the page
I had to browse to the ZIP file

That's exactly right - We were responding to the modernization of other apps here, and we had a ton of requests to implement it. However, we also had a large number of requests to keep the classic toolbars, so that was left in too. You can switch to the classic layout here (top right of the Editor Window):
These toolbars can then be customized in essentially the same way as the Viewer.
Also how can I disable "hints" and just live with icons and captions the hints very quickly become "nags"
These can be turned off under View --> Customize Toolbars in the Classic UI, or by right clicking the Ribbon and selecting Customize Toolbars there. It's found under the Options tab:

I've never tried that before. I'll see if there's anything our web devs can do about that.

I did use "Switch to Classic Toolbars"
did you see the comparison images in my ZIP file on post #9 ?
- the images are a bit rough because I had to reduce them to 80% to make them more manageable

The trap I had fallen into in Editor Classic Mode was the setting for Show text in toolbars ... as Enabled (it should have been Disabled)
- no wonder I couldn't get the Editor toolbars thinned down
In Editor: RClick (in any empty area of toolbars -> Customize Toolbars -> Customize Toolbars (dlg) -> Options (tab) -> [ ] Show text in toolbars
By dragging the toolbars up ( the GIF in your previous post) and well illustrated in the How do I Customize toolbars in the Editor Editor Classic layout now has a small desktop layout, just like Viewer
Thank you for your patience over the past years (3 or 4 yrs ?) while I waited for a slim Editor GUI
This will be my last thread in Viewer forum ... I am now a v.happy convert to Editor
