Remember page layout settings when switching to fullscreen

Post by JimmyD »

Dear developers,

I would like to request the option to have PDF XChange Editor remember the page layout settings when switching to fullscreen and back, like it did in PDF-XChange Viewer and also Foxit.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jimmy,

Thanks for the post - this should already be done and is working for me, so please make sure that you're using the latest release of the Editor (Version 6 Build 317.1):
https://www.pdf-xchange.com/PDFXVE6.zip

If that doesn't help, please advise on what specifically is happening.

Thanks,

Thanks for the quick reply, but I'm already on the latest, but it still doesn't work.

What I mean is that when my page layout is set to "Continuous" mode and I switch to fullscreen, I'd like it to stay in "Continuous" mode, instead of it always switching to "Single Page" mode".

Hi Jimmy,

That's strange - no matter what options I select in the Preferences or Document Properties --> Initial View, I cannot reproduce this. Can you please export your settings (Edit --> Export Settings) and send them to support@pdf-xchange.com to test?

My default Page Layout settings are all set to automatic since I don't want to force continuous on every document, so I have to use a keyboard shortcut to manually switch to continuous mode everytime I switch to fullscreen as described here https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowled ... creen-mode

Hello Jimmy,

Currently this is the only way change the page layout in full screen mode. I have created a feature request for this which will be considered by our development team for possible implementation.

Thank you for your patience and understanding,

Cheers!
