Open document in foreground

Post by PeteM92 »

I use PDF-XChange Editor version 5.5 (Build 308.0)

In order to open several documents in separate windows, I use the following settings:
Open each document in new window: selected
Hide tab bar when only single document is opened: selected

This works quite fine, but each new document is opened in the background, leaving the former opened document displayed in the foreground.

How can I change settings in order to get every new opened document displayed in a foreground window?

Regards Pete

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the post - it seems to be happening for me too, albeit intermittently. There's not any specific that would likely help with this, I'll have to forward this along for the Dev. Team's comment.

Cheers,

Hi Will,

any news regarding this issue?
I saw, that version 508.2 didn´t fix it.

By the way, there is a new minor bug in this version: you can set PDFXE as a standard for PDF files in the options. This works, but going back to previous PDF reader (I use Foxit) does not.

Regards
Pete

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the follow-up - I believe that the Dev. Team have implemented the fix for build 309 of the Editor, so this should be available within the next 3-5 weeks, provided all goes smoothly.

Hi Will,

build 309 now opens new documents on top. Thanks.
Going back to previous PDF reader as a standard still doesn´t work, but this is an unimportant minor issue.

Hi Shay,

You just need to download and install 309 from here:
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product/downloads

And with 309 we are including a live update tool, so from here on you will be able to perform the updating from inside the Editor.

Regards,
Stefan
