Color marker

Post by jürgen somorjai »

Hello,
I often use the color markers in documents. I often use 2 or 3 colors in a document, but not at 100% intensity, but lower. What I am annoyed about is that every time I change the color, the intensity of the colors resets to 100%. :evil:
So I have to adjust the intensity again and again to the desired intensity. This is more than annoying.
My question: is there a solution for this? I would like the intensity to stay as I set it even when I change colors and only change when I set it?

Hello cator,

Open the Comment Styles Palette and change the opacity for each custom style you want to change from the properties. See video for more details.

The terminology used in the menu and manual for the Comment Styles palette is a bit confusing, but this topic may help you understand it better.

I hope this will help.

Best regards,
rakunavi

Hello rakunavi,
thank you very much for the hints.
Also after the hint „Comment Styles Palette“ I had to think about what that means in German.
Because "comment" in German actually means "commentary" and not "note".
For safety's sake, I then watched the video.
And a special thank you for the references to the "Product Manuals".
Afterwards it was no problem to change the color intensity according to my wishes.
I will not forget.

@Tracker Supp-Stefan
In the manuals should therefore in my opinion actually stand:
Formatpalette für Anmerkungen = Format palette for annotations
(This is how it is written in the program)
and
Änderung der Intensität/Deckkraft = Change of intensity / opacity
Best regards

Hi Jurgen,

Thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately, as far as the UI descriptions in the manuals are concerned, the industry standard is to use the UI text descriptions as the titles for the manual, which simplifies the process of finding the relevant sections of the manual when one is browsing the software. Therefore an English manual for PDF-XChange Editor will of course use the term 'Comment Styles Palette' for this section of the manual and it would not make sense to use anything else. If you have the language of the UI set to German and are having difficulty finding something in the manual, then the best option is to simply switch the UI language to English momentarily and then search for the relevant terms in the manual.

Thank you again and kind regards,
