Feature to copy objects with the upper left corner of the page as the origin if the Bottom-Up Y-axis setting is disabled

[rakunavi]

Hello all,

In PDF-XChange Editor, when you copy and paste or duplicate an object, it is copied to the same position in the coordinate system with the origin at the bottom left of the page.

I understand that this is due to the fact that the origin is the lower left corner of the PDF standard. However, since we have the Bottom-Up Y-axis setting, it would be great if it could also be used as the origin of coordinates when copying or duplicating objects. Of course, this problem only occurs when the page size varies from page to page.

In the sample file, the page sizes for pages 1 through 6 are set from A5 to A0. With the current build, the two comment objects on the first page are copied to the next five pages using the duplicate feature, as shown at the top of the figure below, regardless of the Bottom-Up Y-axis setting . My feature request is to change the origin according to the Bottom-Up Y-axis setting when duplicating, as shown in the top and bottom figures.

• sample.pdf

Documents are generally written from top to bottom, so it would be much more useful to be able to copy from the top left corner of the page as the origin.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message.

Best regards,
rakunavi
