Hello! First post here..
I am very interested to know if the development team will be introducing a Windows 8 Metro version w/ Stylus support and touch optimised?
I know there will be an inbuilt PDF annotator in Windows 8, but I doubt it will have the functions and capabilities of PDF Xchange. Don't want to see my favourite program left behind when I upgrade!
MS Surface Windows 8 Pro - Metro+Stylus?

Hello Xtracker,
After discussing this with one of my colleagues I can confirm that we do have plans to optimize our Viewer for touch input - but it most likely won't be in the first public release of v3 of the Viewer. And stylus/pen input is present even now in the Viewer.
Best,
Stefan

Has support for surface pro stylus been included. We have the latest version of PDF-Xchange editor and the resolution on the pen is horrible.
I use this software to mark-up drawings and the resolution makes my mark-ups unreadable, especially with smaller details.
Am I missing a plug-in or is there a way to set a higher resolution?

Hi fkv,
Thanks for the post - stylus and touch-screen support is an ongoing process and is update build by build. If you're seeing problems, could you please send us a comparison of lines/annotations made with our software and those made by another?
Cheers,
