Hello, MedBooster I am not sure I understand the first suggestion here. Dragging to the far left does place the document in the first position: PDFXEdit_YKBDmqUTOg.gif I do see that the "bar animation" does not update, however, the "arrow" placement indicator makes it clear where...

Hello, MedBooster

So long as all the items you have selected are text type comments, such as typewriters, text boxes, or callouts, you can use the "fit" functions with multiple selected?

I am not sure what else it is you are looking for here...

Kind regards,

Hello, MedBooster These two options will help you here. The top one will cause other tools to work like the text markup tools do, while the bottom one will allow you to change the "style" from the format tab, without impacting the selected comment. image.png The Reason that text markup too...

Hello, MedBooster I am sorry to say that is not likely to happen. Lets say theoretically, you started out using the hand tool, then switched to the line tool, and realized before placing the line that you actually needed a line-measurement so you switch tools again. Both of these tools have the &quo...

Hello, rakunavi That Dev team has come back and confirmed that while this is something which should be possible to address, it is far from a simple task, so this is likely to be a long term project, and not something that is resolved anytime soon. I have created the following ticket to track the iss...

Hello, PHK getting there is way too complicated. Users have to go to the Arrange tab in Commenting tools, then the Transform Selection sub-tool to get to that lock-aspect ratio button. That involves some mouse movements and clicks more than I, for one, would like. This is an unfortunately side effec...

Hello, dwg11 Unfortunately some application (or even windows) updates can cause changes to these items silently in the background. Adobe will steal the preview and thumbnails from us on occasion (I experience this myself once every few months, having their software installed locally for comparison t...

Hello, MedBooster

They both do seem to already exist:

: image.png (5.61 KiB) Viewed 3 times

I should also note that for base content images, the in built editor does already have a crop function:

No need to use Paint3D

Kind regards,

Hello, Rakunavi,

That ticket has been resolved (quite a while ago it seems) What you show today is a new bug, and as such, has recieved a new ticket:

RT#7275: Bug: field sorting does not update after enabled.

Kind regards,

Hello, Thank you again for the sample, Just wanted to let you know we now have a ticket for this task, to add a way to manipulate this information in the future. RT#7274: FR: Shading information Optimize - manipulate/reduce I cannot offer a timeline on this, but know that the dev team is looking int...

Hello again everyone, After speaking with the Dev team further, it seems that the root of this was intentional, though not for the reasons I would have guessed. It was originally a fix for another issue that arose a few years back. The dev team is now looking further into this, and have said that we...

Hello again! The Dev team is asking if you could possibly provide a copy of the document in question for the investigation? Judging by the size shown in your screenshot, You likely wont be able to post it on our forums or by email, so if that is possible, please upload the file here, and let us know...

Hello, everyone Unfortunately we have learned through much trial and error, that in the context of reports, leaving any form of category selection as something that needs to be determined after you are able to see a text entry window, or making it a value that may be autofilled, will more often than...

Hello, netsonicyxf I dont believe we have any options which would directly impact this area... It may be related to the image compression options by some extension, but thats the best guess I would have. I will admit I don't know that ive ever seen a document with such a large bundle of shading data...

Hello, MedBooster The only time the "arrange" tab should become entirely useless would be if you have selected various types of content with different restrictions on their resizeability (a locked or read-only flag on any selected item could do this), or if the items you have selected are ...

Hello, rakunavi I cannot make any promises, a fraction of a second delay showing the current cached appearance before snapping to or loading the new content is somewhat expected. This goes back to a constant struggle of "slick appearance" against "speedy solutions". For compariso...

Hello, Jensen Head I was able to reproduce this, Most modern systems have the option to "combine labels" enabled in windows, and in a fullscreen app, the taskbar is usually hidden, which is why this is not something most people notice. In windows 10, this option is located in the taskbar s...

Hello, joxeme If you are simply looking to invert the selection, all you need to do is use the appropriate button in the thumbnails pane after the selection has occurred. image.png As you may notice, you can use the "Num*" button to do this in one press. The "invert selection" bu...

Hello, Noor998 Sadly google listings are somewhat beyond our control. Google makes assumptions and the like on a per-user basis, including location, search history, and previously visited sites. And they do not exactly allow anyone to come along and say "Our site is more important for this sear...

Hello, Jensen Head There is a careful balance between performing these tasks efficiently in real time, and not holding up the whole app while pre-rendering every aspect of something that could take 10 minutes to render in full. (before we consider rendering needs to happen at each zoom level, and wh...

Hello, winkelmann After your computer has started up, simply open PDF-Tools, and then click "options > folder monitors" and check if the monitor shows that it is "enabled". That is all that the startup process we have been trying to configure is intended to do: image.png It just ...

Hello, PHK Do you perhaps mean something like this? image.png If so, I am happy to say we do offer it, it has been around for quite a while infact. I believe this was intentionally not included on the Arrange tab directly, but the ability to use it certainly does exist. Or as before, you can simply ...

Hello nana, After some digging, we found that this is likely to be a situation where your printer requires an older tech called "print isolation" in order to function properly. Most modern printers have not used this for quite a few years now, and so we made the decision to change the defa...

Hello, dwg11 Just to clarify, Your intro and title here mention "thumbnails" but your testing and description seem to focus on the "preview" handler... These are two separate items, though both would be controlled by our shell utility. It is worth noting that to make changes, you...

Hello, dwg11 In the decade since the viewer was discontinued, we have listened catrefully to feedback and brought back some of the most popular functions which are possible to bring back. Some are simply impossible to offer due to modern development constraints or changes to the specification over t...

Hello, dwg11 The way you have it in PDF-XChange Viewer is almost ideal, see notes below ... there is a "Window" menu item which when selected shows open tabs (non alphabetical) with a thumbnail preview. The other functions, "Show All Tabs Thumbnails" and "Show All Tabs"...

Hello, dwg11

in that case, yes, I am sorry to say that the Viewers development was discontinued over a decade ago, so it is rather out of date in a few areas, and will not be seeing new updates.

Kind regards,

Hello, rakunavi That is a good point, I am unsure if this is an intentional decision, or a side effect of the rename system not knowing exactly how the file is marked "read only". In PDF, there are a few ways to "enforce" this more actively than a simple checkbox in the windows p...

Hello, Noor998 Ah, the EU link would be the website of one of our largest European resellers. Thank you for clarifying. Most of our resellers have been informed to always direct download traffic to our official site, but a few do offer redirect links. In some cases, security software may prevent the...

Hello, cjholly@sbcglobal.net If the whole page content is "base content" (most anything that is not "comments" or "form fields"), you can zoom out a bit and use the "edit objects" tool, to select all content on the page, and rotate the content by a few degrees...

Hello, nana

Thank you very much for those, I have just passed them along to the Dev team for review, and we will get back to you as soon as they have completed their investigation.

Kind regards,

Hello, Noor998 Where are you seeing those links? That does not look like our official website, and the portable versions are more definitely still available and functional. It should be noted that ONLY the Editor is available in a portable version, PDF-Tools is not intended/designed for it, and virt...

Hello, MedBooster "Dark pages mode" is not currently intended to be something you can/would modify. In practice it is essentially the same as the accessibility color override options, which you can already customize if needed. "Dark pages mode" was designed to be a "quickly ...

Hello, MedBooster "Just" doing anything in development is almost invariably harder than it sounds. If ever you find yourself asking any developer for something with this phrasing, I guarantee you, it is more complex than you are making it sound. This area is still undergoing some changes, ...

Hello, gboldt I am not sure if you have updated to the latest build yet, but we have just implemented this in build 393. Please give it a try! A middle-click-and-hold/drag will effectively work like the hand tool (if exclusive mode was permanently enabled, to prevent object selection), while a quick...

Hello, To "lock" the dimensions of any shape, you can hold Alt while placing or resizing it. This will ensure it is "perfectly round" in the case of an ellipse. As for the initial question about resizing, those function would be in the arrange tab: image(1).png After doing that, ...

Hello, What Rakunavi describes would be one of the most likely cases. Other situations where this may happen are when the file in question has security in place preventing such edits (files opened from third party file services, like sharepoint or onedrive may have similar restructions), or if the f...

Hello, winkelmann 3. Nevertheless as I use the right command "C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF Tools\PDFXTools.exe" /RunTool "{09EDD861-F4D8-45BF-968314C124466BF3}" I get an error: This would be expected, as you have provided the "folder monitor" ID, but were still...

Hello, Nemo That other topic was not some years ago, but only about 6 months ago. I am sorry to say that as I mentioned in my latest reply there, this is not currently a planned function, but the Dev team may reconsider it in the future. In the future, if you do find an older topic directly related ...

Hello, rakunavi Thank you for the suggestion, I have passed this up to the Dev team for consideration. As you said, recursive updates can be complex actions, but this sounds more reasonable. Hopefully they like the idea. After some discussion, the Dev team has rejected the idea to automatically upda...

Hello, Nemo

Unfortunately, I haven't heard any good news in this area as of yet. We may need to wait some time before it is reconsidered.

Kind regards,

Hello, So, good news and (potential) bad news. The good news is, we do eventually plan to offer fully custom profile creation and selection, and, disabling "shadows" will likely not cause a "custom theme" to be created, allowing the "use dark from system" function to co...

Hello, MedBooster Those are not standard "text" items that would fall into a category such as the "English" language or otherwise. It does not appear that we have a "symbols" language available and all of the EOCR language packs we offer are specifically designed and pr...

Hello, netsonicyxf Yes, PDF-Tools can be configured to perform OCR over documents with existing text content. Do be warned that while our OCR is very good, it is not perfect, and some errors may arise along the way of this process. As such, it is always recommended that you avoid overwriting the ori...

Hello, Mathew So, I have some juicy tidbits from the Dev team on this topic. 1. While it looks like Acrobat handles this, its purely a coincidence based on the settings you selected there. After some testing we confirmed that your document does not have a key parameter that is required for it to wor...

Hello, JimmyD I see what you mean now, because changing these values alters the theme from the "default > controlled by windows" theme, when that flip happens the color of the background is not reflected.. Technically, "Allow Dark mode from system" shouldn't be available or funct...

Hello, Mathew Indeed, but we don't often attempt to compare to Bluebeam as they offer a multitude of features that we cannot even consider implementing (usually due to the specification prohibiting it, or it being undefined, and thus dangerous to implement becuase of the lack of reliable data others...
