Browser Extension Issues

Post by mCHSNUg5Pz8cPap »

It seems that some of the previous functions of the browser extension are no longer available. For example, when the browser opens a pdf file, the extension would show a floating button that the user could push to open the pdf file in the PDF-XChange desktop software. The extension no longer shows the floating button.

Also, it seems to have problems converting web pages to pdf correctly. For example, this website no longer coverts to pdf correctly:
https://image-ppubs.uspto.gov/dirsearch-public/patents/html/10568745?source=USPAT&requestToken=eyJzdWIiOiIxMjI1ZjUzNC1iYmYyLTRjNzQtYTZhZi1iMThmZGViZWM4ZWEiLCJ2ZXIiOiIzMjA2ZTVkNy03Y2MzLTQ3ZWYtYWNjNy1lMzA2NmMwNjMxN2MiLCJleHAiOjB9

Instead, the text runs off the right side of the page.
US-10568745-B2 - Patent Public Search USPTO.pdf

Is this related to the recent switch to MV3 by most Chromium based browsers?

BTW, I'm on Edge 131.0.2903.9 (Official build) beta (64-bit). I installed the PDF-XChange browser extension from the MS Edge Add-on Store, and it is version 1.4.1.
Features I really want:
1. Fully customizable toolbars: https://forum.tracker-software.com/viewtopic.php?p=167585
2. Ability to draw curved lines: https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?p=178335

Hello mCHSNUg5Pz8cPap,

Please try setting up a bigger page size and see it i works for you:

I think this is a limitation in some of the browsers.
