9.4, build 362.0 always starts in window (not full screen) mode. How to start editor in a full screen mode?

I have exactly the same issue - I used to have PDF-Xchange Editor to open as maximized window, now it's always a standard window each time it opens and I see no way to force the old behavior.

I've emailed support for a resolution, let's see...

Hi all,

We've managed to reproduce this on our end - and our developers will be looking into this shortly.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hi guys,

we found a machine on which this is reproduced, so we will investigate.

It's definitely not happening for everyone, now that we have reproduced it I expect we can do something about it. We will post here what we find.

Thanks for the reports.
Best regards

For me, this only happens when I close the program by closing all open files.
If I only close the program, it reopens correctly in full screen.

Hi KoLoLoLo,

that is consistent with what I expect because it is on closing the last instance of the Editor that settings are moved from RAM to storage (in the registry).

Thanks for the input. We will fix this.
Best regards

I have the same problem on my computer (Windows 10 21H2) with both the installed and portable versions.
Here below some additional info that I hope could be useful:

Portable v9.3.360.0:
- Start the program by double click on PDFXEdit.exe
- Maximize the window
- Close the program and reopen it -> the window is MAXIMIZED
- Resize the window
- Close the program and reopen it -> the window is resized
- Close the program
- Delete the Settings.dat file
- Reopen the program -> the window is normal

Portable v9.4.362.0:
- Start the program by double click on PDFXEdit.exe
- Maximize the window
- Close the program and reopen it -> the window is NORMAL
- Resize the window
- Close the program and reopen it -> the window is resized
- Close the program
- Delete the Settings.dat file
- Reopen the program -> the window is normal

so it seems that the only setting that is not saved is the "maximized" state of the window.
