New features' suggestion

Post by axes »

I use Pdf-XChange Viewer very often to study many courses in which they give us only pdf books, or for the documents and manuals I need for my work. Paper is more easy to read, but it's surely much more harder to manage, especially when you should have plenty of it!
I appreciate much this program, and liked much even the new feature that allow to reorder tabs, but there are some features it would be nice for me to have in the program, so I suggest them to you: if you'd like them, please present me a Pro license!
1) I'll find it useful if I can open several pages of a document at the same time.
2) I need many documents open for a single job, and sometimes I've many jobs together, so it'll be very helpful if I can save configurations of open documents, so as to re-open all them at the same time, better if in the saved tabs' order and layout.
3) Another useful thing it would be the back-next push-button, to navigate between the pages precedently seen.
4) I suggest an easier hot-key for going to a certain page. For example, to go to page 123 it would be easier if I can press the Alt-Gr key, holding it while pressing the 1-2-3 keys, release Alt-Gr and so going to the page.

Thanks for your attention, and excuse me for my English.

Hi axes,

thanks for the suggestions, in fact I think you will find you can already do what you are asking for!
1) I'll find it useful if I can open several pages of a document at the same time.
Go to Edit --> Preferences --> General --> Application --> Allow Multiple Instances. This will allow you to, as the name implies open the same file in more than one instance of the Viewer.
2) I need many documents open for a single job, and sometimes I've many jobs together, so it'll be very helpful if I can save configurations of open documents, so as to re-open all them at the same time, better if in the saved tabs' order and layout.
Check Edit --> Preferences --> General --> Opening Documents --> Restore Last Session when application starts This will remember the documents you had open when you closed the Viewer and will open them again when you next start PDF-XChange Viewer.
3) Another useful thing it would be the back-next push-button, to navigate between the pages precedently seen.
There are buttons for this on the 'File Toolbar'. near 'Open', 'Save', 'Print' etc...
4) I suggest an easier hot-key for going to a certain page. For example, to go to page 123 it would be easier if I can press the Alt-Gr key, holding it while pressing the 1-2-3 keys, release Alt-Gr and so going to the page.
The Toolbars are highly configurable, including the keyboard bindings. Take a look at this article for details on how to set your own keyboard shortcuts: http://www.docu-track.com/knowledgebase ... r-commands
