Print options window too big for screen

Post by BrianG »

I installed v2.5.206 on a pc running XP SP3. When I attempt to print, the print options window will not fit on the screen. Only the lower right two thirds of it are visible. The print options window is normal size when printing from other apps. Any suggestions?

Just printed a job from .206 and the Print window was its usual size, so it's not universal.

Hi guys,

the print dialogue issue is a known one. It depends on the font sizes you have set in Windows. We are changing this in V3 so that if it is larger than your screen area it will show scroll bars.

In the meanwhile you can employ this work around: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowled ... -my-screen

Setting the font size to 8pt in the Common UI-Font setting reduced the print options window size. Thanks for the link to the knowledgebase article!

Due to eyesight issues this PC runs at 1024x768 with Windows fonts set to 12pt (19" monitor). I am curious whether setting the Common UI-Font setting to 8 pt will cause readability issues elsewhere in the program. What views and dialogs does it affect?

Hi Brian,

as the setting say in the preferences "used in all views and dialogs"..

I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for here.

My print options window problem was resolved by an uninstall/reinstall of PDF-XChange Viewer.
