I have two monitors. One is my main one and the other is the secondary one.
Is it possible to program a specific pdf file to open only in my main monitor, even if I have pdf's already opened in my second monitor? Through a java script or something?
I see that a similar question was already asked and, unfortunately, received a negative answer here
https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=32151&p=131315&hilit=monitor+specific#p131315
My question is specific to changing something in the "Document Properties" of the pdf to "force" that file to open only in my main monitor.
Is that possible in any form? Can a java script do that?
I am afraid that this is still not possible!
Also - this is a preference that you want to store inside the file that is actually application and not file specific (you want the application to know and open this file on monitor X), and there are no provisions in the PDF specification for a PDF file to store this type of info in itself.

I see
But thank you for the response and clarification!
There is a chance that this functionality could be added in the future through a feature request?
Unfortunately, as Stefan mentioned, there is no grounds for this within the PDF specification. This means that it would not be possible for us to offer something like this in any capacity without providing a proprietary way of handing it, that no other application would understand, and could result in damage to your documents.
As such, unless the PDF specification (which we do not create or control in any capacity) changes to allow this, it will not be possible.

I see, thank you for the response Daniel. And how about a functionality in the pdf Xchange program itself and not in the pdf specifications?
No, like before, the only way to offer a document specific solution to this, would be to embed something into the document, as Stefan suggested, which would be proprietary and unrecognized by other applications (in turn breaking the PDF specification).
Were we to offer something like this, we would need to break the spec, and implement something that could quite likely cause other applications to misunderstand the intent of the file, and in turn damage or corrupt its content when opening/saving the file.
It may be possible to implement an option for the editor to always open the main application window to specific coordinates on a certain monitor, but there would be no way to make that document specific.

Kind regards,
The rest (open the main application window to specific coordinates on a certain monitor for specific file) easily can be done with cmd file оr script file (AHK or VBS)
It's impossible to lead us astray for we don't care even to choose the way. PDF-XChange PRO, 10.1.1 (Build 381) / W7 SP1 x64
