New Callout

Post by brokman »

Hello!
The program only supports one callout type.
Is it possible to add the callout type as in the attachment, or add a new "angle" parameter to the standard callout properties?

Hi brokman,

I'm afraid this is unlikely to be added, as we are restricted by the ISO-regulated PDF specification that determines the style and appearance etc of callout annotations. Additionally, it's necessary that any comments etc that are displayed in a given way in our software are displayed in the same way in other PDF software - which will not be the case if a new style is outside of the PDF specification.

Kind regards,

Hello brokman,

You can always create a custom drawing and save it as a stamp for future use.

This way, you can quickly apply your personalized stamps whenever needed, saving time and ensuring consistency.

If you need help with the steps to create and save a Stamp, just let me know!

Thank you!
Everything worked out, I did it myself.

But, I noticed one thing: when editing a stamp, I would like to have the same editing options as when creating it.

Hello brokman,

Once you place the stamp, it can be flattened and then edited as a base content item within the document.

Alternatively, you can make edits directly in the Stamp Editor for more precise adjustments.

That's exactly what I'm talking about!

As you can see in screenshot #1, the properties on the right are extensive.
In screenshot #2, we see what the properties of the created stamp look like, which appear truncated.

That's exactly what I'm talking about: making sure that after creating a stamp, you can edit it just as you did when you created it.

P.S. I hope you understand the Google translation of what was said.

Hello brokman,

In the first case, you are editing the interactive field as a stamp object, while in the second case you are editing only its text, which is why only text-related properties are displayed.
To access the field properties, please use the field editing mode (Form → Select Fields).

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Misha
