thanks for your observations with holding space activating the hand tool I ESPECIALLY don't get why space should move to the next space (when ENTER already does the same) . SPACE alreaady has so many functions, Please remove space for next page, or at least add an option for it. maybe just in presen...

that is when you see all the first tabs, I am referring to situations where it gets cut off and you have 20+ tabs open. (Cutoff in the sense that you can't scroll) ➀ Maybe you could allow for scrolling with the wheel while you drag and drop tabs? I think it would be useful especially for low-resolut...

I was trying to explain how fit to content doesn't work properly until AFTER you have manually increased the size of all typewriter fields. I want fit to width to actually fit the width to the end of the page (right side) or until there actually is a line break (Enter). but for when you increase the...

MedBooster

Thank you, it works great.

When you crop, will someone else editing the PDF on another machine at a later time be able to "uncrop" and see what has been cropped away?

(paint 3D has been discontinued, but the original "paint" still works fine :p

MedBooster

ehm.. actually now that I come to think about it... is there a way to disable this for the shapes? So that when you chose a new color the newly placed is NOT changed? Anyways... it would be nice to at least have it behave the same way. And somehow be able to choose in the settings whether the newly ...

MedBooster

I think it would be pretty cool to have a OCR selected region snapshot shortcut... maybe one that would automatically copy the OCR-ed text to your clipboard? — and perhaps NOT actually convert the text itself to OCR, see what I mean? With one click or keyboard shortcut. I usually use ShareX for this...

MedBooster

Suggestion
add a setting to just keep the tool you had selected BEFORE The current tool, be it a text book, highlighter or the stamps tool...

that would be quite useful, for me at least.

MedBooster

Never???? You should at least do a backup when you change your UI...
I have had my UI get reset probably around 20 times due to updates for at least 4 years, which is why I export all my settings at least once a month.

MedBooster

One hack that seems to also work is to paste the xutil.stampUtils into a document script on the stamp file (Ctrl-D > JavaScript > Add…), and then you don't even need to put the js file into the Javascripts folder - everything is contained in the stamps file. Are zou then able to copy the javascript...

MedBooster

➀
would it be possible to make the keep selected tool revert to another tool rather than the hand tool?

➁
what is the difference between these two?

MedBooster

When you place a new rectangle shape, oval shape, any shape, the newest shape is selected so that you can change the color in the properties pane or format tab, HOOOWEVER if you do the same with the highlighter tool, the highlight is NOT selected, it is by design? It seems like a bug. You have to se...

MedBooster

how, in 2018 , before the vertical bar was introduced, were you able to place a horizontal "sidebar" below the main tabs?

Is it currently possible to move the sidebar to the top like this?

MedBooster

Wow! Impressive

More useful than having one fixed stroke color for all stamps...

And this "stamp ID" will stay the same for a stamp imported to another PC, or is it exclusive to a single Windows computer?

MedBooster

Cloning multiple comments in comment styles palette currently you're only able to do one at a time image.png This would be a great addition... as well as being able to change the order of comment styles... which we have another thread for...

MedBooster

Important argument....
holding shift also enables exclusive mode... so you can't even hold shift till AFTER having grabbed a corner.. it doesn't make sense

MedBooster

➀ I suggest that dragging a tab past (to the left of) the hamburger icon to expand the tab list would place it in first place currently when you drag and hold a tab in first place the tab bar does not move to the left if the first few tabs are not visible (vice versa — to the right) ➁ I also suggest...

MedBooster

The same applies to changing the size of base content and comments(annotations) together!

MedBooster

hmmm still no way to maybe reverse the lock aspect ratio function in the preferences or something? (so that shift unlocks rather than locks the aspect ratio) I understand that the default is what it is.

MedBooster

Apparently you can do right click on base content image → edit image → open in default application (paint) → select tool and drag and select what to keep with your cursor, then click on "crop". Close the window with the red cross and click on "save" Then you have your cropped ima...

Change width and height of multiple objects simultaneously (arrange tab) It seems you are only able to do this on one annotation at a time, if you select multiple annotations the arrange tab becomes useless. would you consider allowing changing the width and height of multiple annotations simultaneo...

MedBooster

➂ Actually... to fix the cutoff you can just select all annotations and use arrange to increase the width, BUUUUUT what would help a lot here would be if you could use the FIT TO WIDTH function on MULTIPLE annotations simultaneously... you see if you have increased the size and it is on multiple lin...

MedBooster

➁ And fit to width doesn't seem to fit the typewriter text to the very right border of the document like it used to , is this by design? Edit: I see now that you have to increase the width first. Makes sense. I guess this has been changed. I like it better now. This way if you have formatted it to ...

MedBooster

So when I increase the font size the typewriter field doesn't expand to the right... and when I select all of the annotations in the comments pane and use my fit to width keyboard shortcut they don't get fit to width either (maybe this is limited to one at a time?) Is this something you could improv...

MedBooster

Wow, thank you. Btw. there is not explanation when you hover over these buttons: referring to the 9 square box as well as the coordinates image.png If you would add height/width to properties, I think it would be easier to simultaneously change multiple "eclipses" simultaneously by selecti...

MedBooster

which of the "suggestions" do you support? I inadvertently made a few I guess
edit:
I guess my main suggestion is about first and foremost being able to create a perfect circle (so being able to set the width and height in the properties pane

MedBooster

Feel free to share your favourites: https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?p=188993#p188993 After using it for a while I can agree it microsoft sapi 5x sounds much better than the other free options, less "robotic" distortions, more stable, less hiccups. I recommend those interested t...

MedBooster

I've found microsoft sapi 5x to sound the least "robotic", though for Sonia for example the intonation seems to be a bit off to me.
Sounds better with the pitch set to -1

MedBooster

hmm.. still no way to add favourites/presets? It would have been nice to be able to save not only your favourites and have them pinned to the top , but also with your favourite pitch and speech rate.. otherwise you lose these settings when you switch between languages (it seems)

MedBooster

Is there a way to activate the ACTIVE comment type in the pane? I would find this useful — and then being able to use your arrow keys and Enter to change the custom style

— and then you can press escape and reposition the comment(annotation) itself too

MedBooster

"dark mode" seems to be new, are there any customization options for it?

MedBooster

any news?
viewtopic.php?p=188987#p188987

Regarding profiles . or "theme" it seems it is called.

maybe you could just add "custom light mode" "custom black mode" which would mirror system settings like the first option

MedBooster

hmm has dark mode been changed in he newest 393 version? Could you maybe link to the changes? Where can we see it? image.png I would be curious to read more about what has changed as we have a few threads about "dark mode" or color profiles https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?t=409...

MedBooster

arrows OCR ←→↓↑

Is it just be, or are these usually not recognized by PDF-XCE, especially if the resolution is poor?
Maybe this is something you can look into, along with other unicode characters such as numerals.

MedBooster

So it's great to have such a wide variety of blend modes I would make stamp like this, but unfortunately it seems like you can't set a fixed thickness regardless of the stamp size, or would it be possible to make a dynamic stamp like this? E.g. setting the thickness of the border of the ovals to som...

MedBooster

Oops I just had to choose apply to "content" for base content as well.
So that works fine. Too bad you can't do the same for all shapes in a document

Works great

MedBooster

and what about my question about changing the color of all text from one to another without inputting the font names?

MedBooster

Master Mathew, any advice? Maybe you would consider making such a script for PDF-XCE? I'm getting annoyed with such errors when batch saving multiple PDF-documents for the first time... I end up having to save each file manually Half of the time I am able to just chose save all and I will be asked f...

Find and replace bookmark text How could I just add text to the beginning of all bookmarks using this tool? E.g. ProjectA_bookmark1 ProjectA_bookmark2 ProjectA_bookmark3 ProjectA_bookmark4 etc... It would want it to be applied to all bookmark names What would you put tin the "find what" fi...

MedBooster

Still no way to do this?

Somehow "replacing" the text with blank? Would that be possible?

However, according to the manual it doesn't seem that the replace text tool lets you actually replace base content text (batch-change)

MedBooster

hmm that's why I asked, I had actually hoped there would be a similar way to replace shape color After all, in some PDFs the text isn't even text, but rather shapes. IDK why... maybe some way of flattening the PDF (not scanning, it is still completely digital) Anyway, it seems like you can't use &qu...

|Batch change color of base content shapes or text I realize JavaScript is not able to manipulate base content, but is there a feature like that in PDF-XCE itself?

MedBooster

I guess a row of recent colors would be around 8, depending on your DPI scaling setttings as you can't resize the "more colors" window It will be optional right? Anyway it would be a great addition Actually, if you're open to allowing for more customization, I for example don't need the st...

MedBooster

Single left-clicking does the same as it used to, and double-clicking on the bookmark result in the advanced search pane brings you to the destination/page position.

thank you

MedBooster

multum bonus

MedBooster

Double click only selects a single word, what if here's a phrase?

I strongly insist that clicking on the red cross clears the results AND highlights all text content of the simple search field just as ctrl+F does.

MedBooster

That's why I use shift+F2 to rename the document itself, for the functions not to overlap with other renaming functions
