Is there an easy way to change the name of a file directly in Pdf Xchange

Post by paul_france »

Hello,

Is there an easy way to change the name of a file directly in Pdf Xchange.

Actually, if I want to change the name of a file, I must close the file, change the name on windows explorer, and re-open the file to follow working on it.

or

using the "SAVE AS" and deleting the old file.

Is there a way to change the name of the file, without having to quit / close the file?

thanks

Yes, there is an easy way : just right-click the document's tab (while it is open in PDF-XChange Editor) and click "Rename...".

Kind regards.

BTW, it would be nice to be able to rename the newly created document in the same way

Hello,

As OVG mentions, this is a relatively recent feature, if you do not have it, please update. Beyond that, this feature is not offered, and we do not plan to offer it, for new documents. That is because they do not exist yet, and have not been saved, technically they are not yet a named file in any capacity. If you wish to name a new document which has not been saved, you can simply save the file (Ctrl+S) and will be prompted to name it.

Hello Paul,

Could you please try to reinstall your product by using this installer:

https://www.pdf-xchange.com/ProV9.x64.msi

Hopefully, this will add the missing options.
