Using CTRL+F to search PDF: Can't type in search box.

Post by docu-track99 »

Hello folks,

For some reason I'm getting strange behaviour when attempting to search through a PDF. I open up the search box, but I can't type anything into it. I can, however, copy and paste text into it using keyboard shortcuts CTRL+C, CTRL+V. Is this perhaps a known issue? I don't have any code catching these keystrokes, I'm not doing anything special.

Have you encountered this issue before?

Thanks,
Doc.It Development

Hello docu-track99,

This will need the attention of one of my colleagues from the Canadian office. I have passed it along already, and they will post back here in the forum topic as soon as further info is available.

Regards,
Stefan

Thanks Stefan.

I just tested this with your demo solution. The same issue occurs.

However, in your shipped version, there is no issue.

Thanks,

Hello docu-track99,

I can see that the ticket has been assigned to a developer and workitem created in our internal system, but I do not have an estimate for the expected fix date yet. I will see to get some further info for you on this!

Cheers,
Stefan

Hello docu-track99,

You can find the "nightly" developer build here:
https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... 66&t=25943
Please give it a try, as we still do not have an exact date for the release of the official 318 build.

Regards,
Stefan
