How to sync selecting object with Contents pane's tree?

Post by balmydrizzle »

I remember some s/w I use has this synchronization ability and it really helps me a lot to easily locate objects in the tree view. Can I do it in PDF-Xchange? If not, will it be available in future version?

Hello balmydrizzle,

The opposite works in our Editor - if you click on an object in the contents pane - the main view will switch so that this object becomes visible, but selecting the object on the page does not focus it in the contents pane too.

I will check if there is already a Feature Request for this, and if not - we will make a new one for our devs.

Regards,
Stefan
