Reflect aspect ratio after cropping in external apps for image content

Post by rakunavi »

Hello all,

If you crop (or crop) content images in an external application and change the aspect ratio, it would be useful if the changes are reflected after returning to the PDF-XChange Editor.

Specifically, after enabling edit mode, select the image content, right-click the content and select "Edit Image..." from the right-click menu. and then use an external application such as Microsoft Paint to crop (or trim) the image, the PDF-XChange Editor does not reflect the changes and displays the image in its original aspect ratio. Please refer to the video recording of the verification.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message.

Best regards,
rakunavi

Hello, rakunavi

We are given no indication from the editing application that the image has been cropped, nor which section of the image was cropped to properly manipulate this information after it occurs. I can certainly ask the Dev team to look into this further, but I expect that it will be a challenge, if it is at all possible to implement.

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for the opportunity to discuss my request. Until my faint wish is realized, I will copy an image content to an external app via clipboard, crop it in the external app, and copy it back to PDF-XChange Editor via clipboard again.

Best regards
rakunavi

Hello, rakunavi

I should note, in line with this request, the Dev team is currently looking at offering our own image cropping tool, which would allow you to perform this task, without using an external application. It is not something that I can promise a short timeline on at the moment, but we may see that in the future, sooner than we would see the handling you are requesting for external apps.

Kind regards,

Hi Daniel,

Thank you, this is what I needed! If own image cropping tool is implemented, so much the better. I am looking forward to seeing the evolution of the PDF-XChange Editor more and more.

Best regards,
