Setting link target in Split Window View broken in v.9  SOLVED

Post by David.P »

Unfortunately, a major problem with version 9 has just turned up for me.

In all previous versions, it was possible, when creating a PDF-internal hyperlink, to browse for the link target in the other pane of a split window document view -- such that you could see the link source and the link target simultaneously, and then easily set the link target in the other pane:

With version 9, this is not possible anymore.

In other words, you can't create a link by browsing for the link target page in the second document pane, you have to scroll to the link target in the same pane where you have set the link source.

Please, this has to be fixed urgently. I was using this function hundreds of times a day, and I have go to go back to v.8 now until this is fixed.

Best regards

Hello David.P,

It seems that fixing one problem gave way to another one - I will try to fix this asap.

Cheers,
Alex

Hello David.P,

Done. The old logic will be used in 351 build when it's out.

Cheers,
Alex

Wow Alex, I just realized that you had fixed this already (my downgraded v.8 seemed to have auto-updated itself to v.9 again, without me having realized it :) -- and that I had missed your above reply :o

So -- thank you very much for the incredibly fast fix!

I'm already enjoying link creation in Dual Pane Split View mode again.

Kind regards
David
