Resize Pages - Paper Size - Custom - A4 width and height pre-filled

Post by yakikarina »

Hello!
I am newbie in this forum and PDF-XChange Editor. I found Editor very useful and pleasant, thanks!
But I have a little issue:
In Resize Pages dialog box -> Paper Size -> Custom there is A4 format size pre-filled (width - 210 mm, height - 297 mm).
But the actual size of my page is: width - 338.67 mm, height - 856.84 mm and I want to resize this page to width - 400 mm and proportional height.

Of course it is possible to manually change size in Resize Pages dialog box -> Paper Size -> Custom or to move markers in preview. But is it possible to set Editor to always fill Custom with actual page size, not pre-filled format (A4 in my case)?
I have no setting pre-saved for Resize Pages dialog box. I've also tried to reset all program settings, but it doesn't help.
As I remember, a week ago I was able to resize page very quickly. Custom section was filled with the actual page size.

Thank you in advance!

I suggested something similar at the end of this post: viewtopic.php?p=187618#p187618
I believe the OP in that thread wanted this capability as well. The linked thread went off in a lot of directions and the dev team ended up improving the resize pages dialog immensely. However, the ability to enter the actual page size into the dimensions when selecting custom did not make it through. Maybe it's time to revisit this option.
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

I do see that I made mention of discussing this with the dev team over in that other thread as well, sadly I think that one was a case of "it got buried" in a sea of other reports at the time.

In any case, I have raised this topic once again, with an emphasis on it being an option/button to "import" the page dimensions, since there may be some notable use cases for a default paper size like A4 being selected.

[Edit]
Good news everyone!
