Navigating between pages changed from PDFX6

Post by heidl »

Hello,

our client uses PDFX to view and edit pretty large plans, with each page showing a different floor plan.

In PDFX V6 he said he could zoom in on a certain area of the page and compare it with all other pages, easily by jumping from one page to the next. PDFX kept zoomed in on the same area on every page. Now with V7 every pageturn takes the viewer back to the top left of the page.

Are you aware of this behaviour? Was this an intentional change? Are we able to tweak some settings ot bring it back? Or has there never been such a feature in the past?

Hello Heidl,
I believe the tool your client is looking for is the Loupe tool. This is available from the View tab:

This allows them to choose a location on the page and keep it open in another window, while scrolling through the document.
Let us know if that helps!

No, that's not what I meant. The problem is that the Editor, when I zoom in on a page and then go to the next page, the view always jumps back to the top left, instead of keeping focused on the same area as before.

Hello Heidl,

We tried this in both the Editor and Viewer, and in the latest and older builds - and for us this always seems to go to the top left corner of the new page. Can you please check and make sure that it was not e.g. some other PDF viewing software that was showing this different behaviour?

Regards,
Stefan

Hello,

unfortunately our client cannot reproduce this "feature", not even on the older version. I don't know what has happened, but I'd say this thread can be closed. Thank you!
