PDF-XChange Viewer 3.0 still on track for December 2012?
Hello,
I am using the PDF-XChange Viewer 3.0 Beta and was wondering if its still on track for a December 2012 release?
Also I noticed when opening the 3.0 Beta there is always a blank screen for like a second or two before displaying the pdf documents. PDF-XChange Viewer 2.5 seems faster and does not show the same blank screen.
I hope PDF-XChange Viewer 3.0 will be sped up a bit when opening documents before it goes final.

The latest I've heard from the dev team is that we are still on track as per the news article: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/company ... s/view/116
Regards the speed of the Beta, remember that this is a beta and really was intended to show certain new features and should not be considered as a benchmark for V3. V3 will have performance enhancements making it faster and better quality rendering than 2.5.

Re: PDF-XChange Viewer 3.0 still on track for December 2012?
Hi I was wondering if in December you could release some status updates of how development is going and if the final release is nearing completion so people (like me lol) do not obsessively check the website daily in December to see if the final version of the viewer is out...I am not talking about committing to a definite release date - just updates to keep people informed - and please do not release the final viewer at 12pm on December 31 lol!

I was admitted to be be a beta tester, tested the first beta and gave a feedback. This has been done quite a while ago, and I thought there would come a second beta for testing, but I never saw something like that. This makes me believe, that it still will take some weeks (or even more) until the final version will be available.

Looks like a release candidate will be released on December.27,2012 and the "gold" final released sometime around February 2013
Not much longer to go and I am sure it will be more then worth the wait!

Thanks for the kind words ...
We have been using the development beta for some weeks now in house and I am confident you will not be dissapointed - just the look and feel is excellent and the ability to modify the users viewing experience is really something - and the rendering speed and quality is 'awesome' !
It may still lack a few key features during the initial weeks - but I am confident it will be received well and will satisfy in the key areas

Hi HOTGA,
As far as I'm aware it's on time, but the people responsible for the release are in our Canadian office, so it will happen a bit later in the European afternoon.
Cheers,
Stefan

Cheers - thanks for your quick reply - just out of curiosity when do your offices close? 5 pm? 5:30 pm? Sorry to be so persistent but if v3 will be released in 10 -20 mins I will wait - if it could be hours still - I will check back later after getting some much needed sleep!

Re: PDF-XChange Viewer 3.0 still on track for December 2012?
The office in Chemainus is on a skeleton staff until after the new year and support staff are working from home so the actual physical hours are not very relevant to be honest. I'm working from Australia for example.
As to the release, I have no more news than you do. It would need to be uploaded and propagated across the cloud servers for delivery and depending on your location that could be hours.
I would do what else you need to do and check back frequently.

Re: PDF-XChange Viewer 3.0 still on track for December 2012?
Frankly I'm disappointed. The reason I bought PDF XChange Viewer was because it was the only quality PDF editor I could find that worked with WINE under Linux. Unfortunately the installer used with version 3 will not work with WINE so I didn't get as far as being able to see if the actual program works.

hey ds1
well with all due respect, it is a Candidate Release not a final product... Anyway - I'll spark up a copy of Ububtu and see what I can see. Wine support will unfortunately probably lag behind Windows installed instances.
I'll need to create a new VM so give me a little time please.

I love now when I use "Select Text" it now remembers the next time I open a pdf same for using either Thumbnnails or Bookmarks too it also remembers.
But setting fit width and Coninuus does not seem to remember.
Also pdf's seem to really load a lot faster now
Like it a lot so far
Re: PDF-XChange Viewer 3.0 still on track for December 2012?
Is it possible to customize the toolbars and/or UI yet or is this one of the items that is still under development?

I think this is the best way to test a non-final product.
If any feature stop working, I can just open pdf with the old version.

Hi All,
let me answer the last 3 questions in this same post:
@gate1975mlm
Seems like these preferences are not yet available.
@hsrstud
This is still in development so to see all toolbars you will need to open the Editor's window in full screen for now.
@oversky
You can install the Editor in a separate folder, and have the old Viewer stay the default application for handling PDF files.
Best,
Stefan

Re: PDF-XChange Viewer 3.0 still on track for December 2012?
Thank you for this.
Just one slight problem: the installer doesn't offer any options and just starts to install. I prefer to have most programmes in D:\Program Files\ and, if possible, data held within the app's. folder (not needed in this case). It's also trying to connect to the internet - I don't like that until I know why.

Hello Giraffe,
The installer should give you two options - Custom and Default. If you select the custom one you will be able to choose the install path. As for connecting to the net - that's most likely for things like the FileOpen plug-in or e.g. the Search providers logos.

Re: PDF-XChange Viewer 3.0 still on track for December 2012?
Thanks Stefan. It seems that I made the mistake of extracting the .exe file from the zip; using the .exe file from within the zip did give the options.
Re: PDF-XChange Viewer 3.0 still on track for December 2012?
Pardon my question in the wrong forum but this seems to be the active V3 thread. I'm trying to find any information on when the V3 Viewer SDK is planned to be released in either RC or final form. There doesn't seem to be mention of the SDK in the SDK forum or the press release.
-Thanks.
-Thanks.
Re: PDF-XChange Viewer 3.0 still on track for December 2012?
Hello,
Thank you for the release! Like another user before, I also believe it'd be very useful to have a portable version. Please!!!

Hi schmoli and vivadavid,
Thank you for your posts.
The potential date for the release of the PDF-XChange Viewer 3.0 SDK and the portable version is in March 2013. This date is not firm and will have to be confirmed later.
Both products will be released at the same time.
Thanks.

Hi Mike,
the new tools isn't ready and for now we don't have an ETA I'm afraid. As soon as time and other priorities allow would be the best I can offer at this stage.
