PDF XChange Forum

Hello Jasunai, I think the UI might have changed a bit lately - maybe when some of the other options were adjusted and made into a drop down menu. I believe that this dialogue was indeed appearing maybe a step earlier in the past, but can not be certain as it has been a while since I've tested those...

Hello br-lifestudent, Welcome to our forums. The position of the underline is determined by the font metrics, so it would be determined by the text on which you are applying that underline, and there is no way for you to tweak it's position relative to the text. We are trying to use the same values ...

Hello Jasunai,

The pages repository dialogue will appear in the next step.
The first one you select the files to be merged/split, and then when you click OK on that - you would on the next step have the dialogue from my screenshot.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello zarkogajic,

Could it be that the coordinates are in rotated user space and that page has been "flipped" at some earlier point without the coordinate system being normalized for the new page orientation?

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello joxeme, The "select all instances" will work when the same image object is repeated 8 times on 8 separate pages. If you merge 8 documents into one - even if the image is visually the same - each page came with it's own copy of an image file and the Editor (or any other tool) will see...

Hello Jasunai, Apologies! Tis type of question is usually asked int he Editor section of our forums and I didn't see at all that your enquiry is PDF-Tools related. So I presume it is this dialogue that you were looking for? image.png It would now show after the step where you do select the source do...

Hello MedBooster,

Glad to hear that you have found a workaround for the time being!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello davidbeh, It does seem like there is no explusive mode for the Select Annotations tool, but you should be able to select only annotations in the comments pane. I will check now with our devs why there is no exclusive mode for "Select comments". In the mean time please try to drag fro...

Hello Jasunai, Welcome to our forums. I believe that these KB articles will be useful in showing you how to perform the needed operations: How do I re order pages in the Editor? How do I copy pages between open documents using the Thumbnails pane? How do I Combine/merge Documents or Pages? Kind rega...

Hello sbr3th,

It does not seem like our Editor can currently tag annotations (not only links but all annotations), so I am now checking with our dev team and asking them to look into this!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello rafa, You can not force the Editor to create a PDF 2.0 file. When making files with the Editor - it will set the specification to the lowest possible that would cover all the features needed in your file (to ensure the best compatibility). That would usually be 1.4 PDF spec for files without t...

Hello Nimrod_189,

It is called "Home" in English, however I believe that the code uses the IDs of the menus, to allow for language independent access and placement of your custom buttons in the menus.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Mathew, Thanks for the detailed steps. Indeed I am doing the same ones when I need to move a stamp to another collection (which is not too often for me to be honest). I will ask my colleagues from the dev team to comment on why everything is flattened when you create a new stamp from file. It ...

Hello sbr3th, I can assign tags: image.png Or is it that you assign them, but then you are still getting the errors? Actually - there were a few items that were not tagged but were "text" as far as the page is concerned. Those were the lists 16 and 20 on my screenshot below image(1).png Ca...

Hello MedBooster,

SaveAs when called through JS code can do a "Save as copy", however it does require elevated privileges so probably won't work through the toolbar button - as Mathew advised, there's no way to circumvent these restrictions.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Willy Van Nuffel,

I did see that. Likely there's something odd with the embedded font. As klei said - the original file was produced 20+ years ago.

In any case - I hope that your advise and my screenshots would help @klei with their task!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello MedBooster,

If not the whole page is visible when you make the bookmark - the Ctrl + Shift + B will create a bookmark pointing to that specific location on your page:

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello klei, Thanks for the sample files! So your symbols are inside the file, and are showing in e.g. the contents pane: image.png However the font used in your document (TriplexLight) while fully embedded: image(1).png Is a Type1 font (quite old), and it seems like it has not been embedded properly...

Hello klei, Welcome to our forums. So if I understood you correctly - there are no backslashes visible at all in the file and you need to add those as additional content? Please take a look at this KB article which shows you how you can edit content using our Editor: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/know...

Hello Peakski,

I believe that this KB article will help:
How do I set the default style of annotations in PDF-XChange?

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Loki@99,

Thanks for doing so and for checking that the issue is with the TTS engine and not specifically with our Editor!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello EduardoMartins, So you would effectively need the dropdown field to be locked when the file is signed by say the first person. However there is no such option for signatures to selectively lock only some fields. You can either lock all or none. An alternative would be to ask each person to mak...

Hello DamienRhenus,

Thanks for the update and for providing Paul the logs! I am sure he will get back to you as soon as he has had a change to check those!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Nimrod_189, The Viewer has been discontinued for 10+ years now, so I am no longer sure if it was possible to have custom scripts in it. It is however possible to add custom toolbar buttons to the Editor: How do I add a custom tool to the toolbar, using JavaScript, in the Editor? Kind regards, ...

Hello EduardoMartins, Applying a digital signature requires you saving (a copy of) the document, so I do not believe it is possible for one form field to add a signature in another and then lock it. However when a digital signature is applied that would usually make the field "locked" anyw...

Hello IT-Services,

At the moment I see that it has been assigned to a developer, but I can not give you an estimate as to when it would be fixed, sorry!
So yes - it could be a few more weeks before there is any movement on that ticket.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello vivid_rabbit,

The above comments are discussing a feature different than what you seem to be doing.
Can we please have a few screenshots of your set up, and maybe a sample page with such a figure where you get that figure dead to you?

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello vivid_rabbit,

Welcome to our forums.
Are those Back and Forward buttons you refer to in our Editor or buttons inside the TTS engine?

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Damien,

Thanks for starting those verbose logs. Do let us know if you find anything else on your end on this!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello dwav,

Our end user products are not designed in a way that would allow you to control them via code, and the SDKs are no longer being sold - so there's no way for you to use them via C#.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello masster, For batch processing you need to use PDF Tools. The option to delete the N pages from the start or end of a document are there. The Editor can not batch process multiple files and that is on purpose as it is aimed more at a single file (except when you are e.g. merging several files i...

Hello MedBooster,

You will need the "addMenuItem, addSubMenu, addToolButton" in your JS dependng on where you want the tool to appear, and Mathew here has a good example on how it is to be done:

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Jayber, Welcome to our forums! I believe you spoke with one of my colleagues over e-mails as well, and provided us with a sample of your file in there. What we could see in your file was that you had a scanned sheet of paper with small squares on it, and then hand written text over that as one...

Hello MedBooster, We do appreciate you spending the time to create this guide, and are happy to see you are getting the results you want. As Daniel pointed out we also have some articles of our own, and hope that all of it combined will be useful to other people looking at creating new dynamic stamp...

Hello MedBooster, Yes - such manipulations of an existing stamp should be fine and still keep it working as intended. However what I tend to do when making new stamps is start with the static part of the content (logos, images etc), and then add the dynamic elements (form fields, JS Code) once the s...

Hello rakunavi, Thanks! A long time ago those options were not available, so I believe my first attempts to achieve the task would have been with JS, so I've never learned of the feature in the UI and would have done it with JS if I needed to automate such a task! Thanks for showing me something new...

Hello MedBooster, When printing you are creating a 'permanent' version of your file (whether on paper on in other file format) that might benefit from you not having the comments in it. But when you do have the file already at hand - you can easily open the comments pane and remove those comments if...

Hello MedBooster, The comments styles palette offers you tools to customize said tools as well, so a single click selects the specific style to allow you to then adjust that if needed, and a double click selects it for use. If you'd wish to select styles with a single click - you can do so through t...

Hello masster, I am afraid that the XForm objects are a type of structure, but there is no way for the editor to uniquely identify and distinguish one such Xform from another, or to automate their removal (especially when they are at different locations on your pages). Using PDF Tools you should be ...

Hello Mathew,

Many thanks for sharing those utilities you've prepared with other users here in the forums!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Mathew,

Thanks for the RegEx! These are indeed powerful, but also have to be used with caution as they are sometimes "too" powerful, and as you said might match something that was not intended!

I hope this is of good use to MedBooster!

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Mathew, Thanks for reporting this! I've asked a colleague working on the JS engine to take a look here and advise. P.S. Our devs just confirmed that they are already working on this. So I expect the fix to be in the next build, but will await their confirmation before stating it with certainty...

Hello rakunavi, Any report is helpful even if it is such minor issues as having the proper word for a given scenario. I will pass the above to our PDF Tools UI devs as this is likely a quick fix and would not require a ticket, but if a ticket becomes necessary - I would certainly create one and post...
