[Feature Request] Edit Points of Vector Lines
Hi PDF-XChange Reps,
I really, really like your software. However, there is one feature I miss from Kofax Power PDF Advanced. It is the ability to edit points of vector lines. In Power PDF, I do this by editing the object, right clicking on the line, and selecting edit points. It then shows the points that define the line. I can move or change points as needed. I also believe I can add and remove points as well.
I created a short video showing how it works in Power PDF Advanced (be sure to watch it in HD to see what I did).

Thanks

Re: [Feature Request] Edit Points of Vector Lines
Although I feel that this might be almost asking too much, since it would effectively turn PDF-XChange Editor into a vector graphics editor, I am very much tempted to say that this would be an awesome feature.
It would then be possible to edit PDF line drawings directly in PDF-XChange Editor, and not having to rely on separate programs such as Inkscape to do so.

It is an awesome feature. This and one button font embedding (no need to print or save the file to embed fonts) would absolutely put me in a state of software nirvana.David.P wrote: ↑Fri Oct 15, 2021 11:36 pm Although I feel that this might be almost asking too much, since it would effectively turn PDF-XChange Editor into a vector graphics editor, I am very much tempted to say that this would be an awesome feature.

The only pdf editor to my knowledge that can be used to edit points of vector graphics is Kofax Power PDF Advanced. Not even Adobe Acrobat DC has this feature (I have it installed but never use it anymore). It's the only reason I keep a copy of Power PDF Advanced on my computer. I decided to post this suggestion after being forced to use Power PDF Advanced to make a couple of edits.

Re: [Feature Request] Edit Points of Vector Lines
I am going to have to say I also think that is an awesome feature. But reality kicks me and reminds me of how much work that might be to implement and question how many peolpe would use it.
I find it interesting seeing the myriad ways people use our software, I myself use drawings regularly and can see incredible use for this. At the end of the day however we must balance "the needs of the many..." I have passed this on to the dev team to see what they say.

Re: [Feature Request] Edit Points of Vector Lines SOLVED
I updated to Version 10 and lo and behold, this idea has been implemented in the form of the path editing tools. And, it was implemented even after Paul effectively said it would never happen (didn't even open a feature request for it!).
Miracles can happen (I have a couple of other feature requests I hope get implemented, especially the ability to sanitize documents without being pushed into a Save As dialog and the ability to fully customize the size and position of items on the toolbars)!!!
Now that this feature has been implemented, I can finally uninstall Power PDF Advanced.
Thanks all (now get on that one button sanitize feature (Acrobat DC has it) and ability to fully customize toolbars)!
Great job!!!

Hi, mCHSNUg5Pz8cPap
Indeed the feature request was never formalized, but I am relentless when I want something.... I really wanted this for my RC plane hobby.... I think they finally did it just to shut me up!
Personally I think they went above and beyond what I had expected, and it will get tweaks along the way, so don't be shy giving us your feedback!
Enjoy!
Kind regards,
Paul - Tracker Supp

Re: [Feature Request] Edit Points of Vector Lines
Yes, they blew past my expectations! The PDF-XChange implementation is more feature-rich than the Power PDF Advanced implementation. This is going to make my life a lot easier.Paul - Tracker Supp wrote: ↑Thu Jun 15, 2023 9:32 pm Personally I think they went above and beyond what I had expected, and it will get tweaks along the way, so don't be shy giving us your feedback!

Re: [Feature Request] Edit Points of Vector Lines
Incredible.
This is the best, smoothest and most intuitive implementation of editable Bézier curves that I have ever seen in any program.
The Tracker Devs are true masters of world-class coding wizardry.
Thank you very much for this feature addition.
Kind regards
