How to delete useless font in PDF-XChange Viewer?

Post by celk2010 »

In fact, I only need Arial and "宋体" as my font
When I add some callout or text box
the default font was Microsoft JhengHei
each time I need to drag the font drop-down list to select Arial, so boring!

Then how to delete all those useless font and only reserve Arial and "宋体"?
Thank you!

Hi, celk2010

The Viewer directly access the system Fonts to populate this like, like nearly every windows based application which makes us of fonts does. The only way to remove fonts is to uninstall them from Windows itself, and as such we do not recommend doing so.

You should be able to specify a "default style" for the text though, so that it will continue using any font your desire by default, and you will only need to change it when you would like to choose another. To do this, select the font in question and then use the "make default" button in the properties toolbar:

I hope this helps!

Hi, Daniel,
Will there be two default font? Arial for a~z,0~9 and "宋体" for Chineses characters?

When I set "宋体" as default, typing in 6515612 or bsajd165jhb51 or "今天天气真不错", all will be "宋体", but I like English characters and numbers to be Arial

When I set Arial as default, typing in 6515612 or bsajdjhb1651, both will be showed Arial
but when typing in "今天天气真不错", it will be Microsoft JhengHei, so ugly

Will there to be some way to make English characters and numbers to be Arial, Chineses characters to be "宋体" automatically?

Thank you!

Hi, celk2010

Unfortunately no, there is no way to set multiple different default fonts by language. I would recommend enabling the one belonging to the language you use most often, so you only need to change back to the other manually when needed.

For excel VBA, I could use the following program to change all to "宋体", then change all to Arial
Arial will work only to a~z, A~Z and 0~9, then Chinese characters will remain "宋体"

but in PDF-XChange viewer, Arial will work for all a~z, A~Z, 0~9 and Chinese characters
so when I select Arial, all will be changed
Could this be avoided?

Or may there be any VBA program to achieve this goal in PDF-XChange viewer?
Thank you!

Sub test()
For Each sht In Worksheets
sht.UsedRange.Font.Name = "宋体"
sht.UsedRange.Font.Name = "Arial"
Next
End Sub

Hi, celk2010

I have just spoken with the Dev team and this is not something that will be possible in the viewer (since it is a discontinued product and that feature was never offered). We are however considering some modes of implementation for this in the future, While I cannot make any promises that it will be implemented at the moment, it is being looked at by our dev team already.

When/if we do offer this, it will not be made available in the Viewer, as before because that application is discontinued. Should you wish to make use of this when the time comes, you will need to upgrade to the PDF-XChange Editor.
