How to improve handwriting in pdf (pencil tool)

[jorge.cassiano.jr]

Guys, is there any way to make writing smoother? I'm testing other pdf readers and the pencil tool in them is more fluid, as if I were writing by hand, very similar to using it on a tablet
However, in PDF X-Change it is more "stucked", it is not exactly as I drew it.
Is there any way to fix it?
Thanks!

Hello jorge.cassiano.jr,

The Smooth Level setting in the Pencil tool properties might change the impression slightly.

Thanks!
I had already done that, however, it still doesn't look as "natural" as other readers or tablet

Hello jorge.cassiano.jr,

The options in the UI are indeed not turning the smoothing off completely.
You can however do it through the registry:

Hi Stefan,

The registry setting does not seem to work anymore since the update with the Low/Normal/High choices for the Pencil Tool.

Like mentioned by 'christian kuhlman' (Sep 30, 2019) the registry key gets deleted when you quit PDF-XChange Editor.

Any idea at which percentage (0 to 100) the current levels (low/normal/high) are corresponding ?

Kind regards.

I believe the new registry location is below.

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor\3.0\Settings\Tools\Pencil
  
  i.SmoothLevel

If you change to normal, the corresponding value is not saved in the registry.

• Low : 0x00000019 (25)
• Normal: 0x00000064 (100)
• High : 0x0000012c (300)

Thanks for the information @rakunavi

Hello Willy Van Nuffel, Rakunavi,

Thanks for your comments! Indeed there is a new registry entry, and the 25 value is 25 of the full smoothing, 100 being 100% for the normal smoothing and High is quite extreme. Turning this "off" can be achieved with setting that value to 1 (not sure if 0 is accepted).


Kind regards,
Stefan
