Page Zoom lock

Post by Nour El yakine »

Very simple problem to solve

I have a touch screen pc and I use gestures to activate various shortcuts in pdf xchange,
the problem is the pinch to zoom interferes with gestures so in other apps I used to lock zoom ,BUT this very simple option is absent in pdf xchange
:oops:

I really hope this is added in future updates, such robust app shouldn't lack such minimal feature.

by the way pdf Xchange is the best !!!!!!!

Hello Nour El yakine,

Welcome to our forums and thanks for your post!

Can you please elaborate on the problem a bit?
You are saying that Pinch to Zoom works for you - but is causing problems in other tools, or that unlike in other tools where it does - in the Editor Pinch to zoom is not working for you?

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Stefan,

Perhaps Nour El yakine is referring to the Lock zoom feature provided by Drawboard PDF and others. If the zoom level is locked in these softwares, even if you pinch the document (including unintentional pinching), the zoom level will not be changed.

  • Lock zoom - Lock the zoom level you have chosen to avoid the document changing its zoom level accidentally

Hello rakunavi,

Many thanks for your input!
Yes - it might be this one! I will be happy to hear back from Nour El yakine and if it is this one indeed - I will check with our devs on what we can do for the Editor in that respect!

Kind regards,
Stefan

No updates I'm afraid. Note that our version history is available here:

https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product/pdf ... or/history

You can check that each time a new build is released to see if your desired feature is included.
