Window -->tile does not work

Post by jmotlagh »

I have the .pdf pro version, and I cannot cascade, or tile (horizontal and vert). The menu option opens, and I can scroll down and highlight the option but I cannot select the option.

This caught me out too.

From the View menu, turn off Navigation tabs, then you can tile or cascade windows.

It makes sense that if you're using tabs, you don't need to cascade or tile the windows.

I frequently like to tile windows (very nice on my new 22" screen) and I also very much like the navigation tabs. Meanwhile I find it slightly annoying that I always have to manually switch on and off the tabs.

I do agree with Bhikku, but then why can the program not automatically switch on and off the Tabs, contrary to using tileing or not. That seems more intuitiv and userfriendly to me. The relation between the two menu items is not very obvious for a novice user.

Hi mbode,

I'll get the Viewer Team to have a look at your post and see if they can address it.

Using some other programs I can jump back and forth between tabs and floating windows by selecting what I want it to do and it does it, so I see where you're coming from.

Regards,
Chris

Yeah, I'm of the same opinion.. It took me 20 minutes to figure it out.. and it does seem a little cumbersome if we need to go back and forth.

Simply great! This is what I really like about your company - that you do take support seriously and listen to your customers. I think that helps to make the products continously more userfriendly. Whenever I discover a bug, I know it's worth coming to this forum and posting it or looking for the solution announced for the next release.

Looking forward to the next :wink: release. ... and by the way all the best and success for a Merry New Year!

Cheers, ...
