Some features from PDF XChange Viewer

Post by monsoon »

Hi,

The PDF XChange Editor is the successor of the Viewer. We have changed the name to indicate that with it you can do much more than just Viewing PDF files, but if you want to use it just for that - it's perfectly fine. It is also just as fast as the Viewer (if not faster in some respects)! ...
I can't find some features in Editor that PDF XChange Viewer has and that I used quite often:
1. shortkey for "Show/Hide All Toolbars"
2. "Squiggly Underline" in the "Underline Text Tool"

Hi monsoon,

Thanks for the post!
1. shortkey for "Show/Hide All Toolbars"
This is something that we intend to add for the next build of the Edior.
2. "Squiggly Underline" in the "Underline Text Tool"
I'm seeing the same thing, so I'll pass this along for implementation in a later release.

Cheers,

Hi,
half a year later I download PDFXEdit version 5.5.314.0
 
But I can't find as before some features in Editor that PDF XChange Viewer has and that I used quite often:
1. shortkey for "Show/Hide All Toolbars"
2. "Squiggly Underline" in the "Underline Text Tool"

Hello monsoon,

We do apologize for this! It seems your request fell through the cracks. To "light a match" on this, I've created an internal development ticket. Please reference this forum or "RT#3196: Viewer Features Missing in Editor" when requesting an update.

I sincerely apologize on behalf of Tracker Software for this apparent lack of follow-through. I will do all that is in my power to rectify this ASAP.

Cheers!

Hello,

Thank you for your patience. I am pleased to announce that the "Squiggly Underline" in the "Underline Text tool" is done and will be available in the next build release.

Oh! It's the good news! Thanks a lot!
But what about shortkey for "Show/Hide All Toolbars"? :wink:
I found topic with the same suggestion and with the same promise: "this will be added to the Editor in a future build" :)

Hi monsoon,

You are correct that the "hide all menus" is still not possible with a single keystroke :(.
I am afraid that I do not have any more specific information on when it might be added at this moment.

Regards,
Stefan

Hi,
Can you create an internal development ticket again for shortkey for "Show/Hide All Toolbars"? :)

Hi Monsoon,

A feature request ticket already exists for this item, but it's considered of a low priority for now, as we're currently in the process of testing Version 6 of all of our software and PDF-Tools, for example, has been a complete re-write and so has taken most of the Dev. Team's focus.

Thanks for you continued patience!
