Another recent convert...

Post by ran »

Well,

No real problems yet (except for pdf files opening a page down from the top - not sure why...).

I just wanted to say thank you for this product - I just switched my system over from FoxIt to your product.

It works faster, can remember tabs upon crashing/closing, and is soooo much better at printing than FoxIt.

So far, so good...keep up the great work! :)

Thanks,

Ran

Hey ran,

welcome to the "Tracker Family" :)

The reason for not opening from page one is because our Viewer remembers where you closed a document and when you reopen it, you see it as you left it. The number of files it remembers is initially 50 (the number of files in the File -> Recent menu is the same) which you can change through Edit -> Preferences -> General.

We hope you will enjoy our software and if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask them, we are here to help.

Regards,
Stefan

I have a 270 page document which always opens at the first page, regardless of what page I was on when I closed it. I have tried all combinations of the settings "Restore Last Session when application starts" and "Restore the last used view of document" without effect. "Maximum of Documents in Recents" is 50. Is it no longer true that Viewer remembers where you closed a document? Is there some other setting which I need to change to get this behavior?

Cheers,

MetaEd

Hello MetaEd,

Provided that you have these settings in the Edit -> Preferences -> Page display section:

You should see your documents open on the same page and with the same zoom as when you closed them before

If with these settings you are still experiencing problems, please do upload the file here to the forums (or if sensitive, send it to support@pdf-xchange.com) as we would like to take a look at it.

Best,
Stefan

Turning off the setting "Restore last used Layout and Zoom settings for pages from the Recent List when opening" also turns off the feature to reopen the document at the page you were on when you closed it. This is not documented, but it is exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you!
