Tablet-PC Pen: Use of eraser by flipping pen around?

Post by ahk »

Hi all,

I just discovered PDF-Xchange. It appears to be quite useful to use the pen of a Tablet-PC to point out things during a presentation in full-screen mode. However, sometimes I also want to erase this markup. In many other programs, I can just turn the pen around (Wacom digitizer on Lenovo ThinkPad) and that end will be recognized as Eraser by the software.

Is there a trick to also achieve this with the PDF-Xchange Viewer?

Many thanks,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

I do not think it is possible in the current realization but will speak with the dev team to see what can be done in the future.
We will keep you updated here in this topic.

Kind Regards,
Stefan

Many thanks for the quick reply! Can you give a prognosis when the next build will be available? I'd love to use PDF-Xchange in our summer lectures (which start next week ;-)

Best regards,

Many thanks for the quick fix, the new version works quite nicely!

To improve presentations even further, I´ll offer a few more suggestions when I get around to writing them up ;-)
