PDF-size > 5080: wrong display without message

Post by Peter2 »

I have to update the old topics again:

Version 4.0/201: Limited to 200"/5080 mm -> Version 5 too? (June 2012)
https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... hilit=5080

Max. page-size in PDF? (March 2014)
https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... hilit=5080

The part, relating Editor, is:
A PDF longer than 5080mm is
  • truncated in display
  • displayed with "5080 mm" in the lower left corner
  • displayed without any hint or alert in the drawing area or in the status
-> is displayed "wrong" (to short is wrong) and this can be fatal.

A length > 5080 mm is not buggy and is not out of specification and it can still be handled by the Viewer, so please ...
  • handle this topic with high priority
  • add at first step a message / alert to the Editor if longer files are opened
  • add at second step a correct display to the Editor ( a reason to keep the Viewer alive ..)
Thanks, and have a fine weekend
