broken up/down buttons in print dialog

Post by andreasm1982 »

If I want to print a file more than once, it's not possible to use up/down buttons in edit field for amount of copies.

Entering a number works, but up/down keys don't work.

using build 2.0 0037


see screenshot to see what buttons I meant.

For my default printer, which is PDF Factory, the copies field is greyed out. For other printers, Epson EPL5900 laser and CutPDF it is available, but cannot be scrolled, as you say. I can enter a number of copies, but printing to CutePDF still gave me just one copy of the page, not eight pages all the same as expected.

Something is seriously broken here.

Its not broken Bhikkhu,

printing multiple copies to a virtual printer is not the same (or logical) as printing multiple copies to a physical printer.
If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.

Best regards

It is broken. The scroll buttons for number of copies don't work even for a laser printer. I can enter a number, and it works, but I cannot scroll the counter.

If I ask for 8 copies, I want 8 copies. PDF-XChange should not second-guess what I want unless I ask for something impossible. Maybe some user has a valid reason for wanting to replicate a single page PDF document multiple times to a new PDF document.

Print Preview of a blank document shows as a completely black page. That is not what printing a blank document produces. It produces a completely white page.

When printing to a laser printer, the collate option is also broken for a two page document. I should be able to choose 8 copies of page 1, then 8 copies of page 2, or 8 copies of page 1&2.
