Paste the link created with "Link Creation Tool", problem. (SOLVED!)

[CharlesF]

Good morning to everybody

First of all, thank you very much for your attention, in advance. And congratulations for the new features of the new version PDF-XChange Editor Plus v8.0.337 (and 338)

Here's what I think happens: I think Paste the link created with "Link Creation Tool" fails on PDF-XChange Editor Plus v8.0.337 and v8.0.338


1) It doesn't fail on v8.0.336!!
Please try to reproduce all these steps on v8.0.336:
- create a new link (with that tool "Link Creation Tool") --> Browse for link target --> Advance --> Edit Action List --> Select Go to Page in the Document --> Use Page Number (whatever number you want: 23, for example) --> press Ok : link to a page in the document is suscessfully created
- Now, do this, please: right clik on the link created --> Copy ... and paste it... anywhere. Then... over the link pasted, make double click --> you will see Edit Action List ... and below (Go to a Page in the Document) you will see, of course Page 23 (X: Inherit Y: Inherit Zoom Inherit. So, the link pasted has been... suscessfully pasted, with all its characteristics and properties!


2) But... link pasted... fails (I think it) on v8.0.337 and v8.0.338
Please try again to reproduce all these steps but on v8.0.337 or 8.0.338:
- create a new link (with that tool "Link Creation Tool") --> Browse for link target --> Advance --> Edit Action List --> Select Go to Page in the Document --> Use Page Number (whatever number you want: 23, for example) --> press Ok : Link to a page in the document is suscessfull created!
- Now, do this, please (as we did with 8.0.336): right clik on the link created --> Copy ... and paste it... anywhere. Then... over the link pasted, make double click --> you will see Edit Action List ... , BUT NOW below (Go to a Page in the Document) you will see NOTHING!! Everything has disappeared!! The link pasted has NOT been... suscessfully pasted! The characteristics and properties of that link have disappeared. Then you are forced to create a new link again, with those characteristics and properties , and therefore the "Paste Link tool option" gets useless.

This fault, defect (bug?) is too annoying when you try to quickly make index or table of contents in one document: just "copy-paste" a previous link and quickly editing the page number target (very very usefull!!). So, regretting it a lot , I had to reinstall the previous version (8.0.336) again.


Thank you for your attention.

Hi, CharlesF

Thank you for the report, We have reproduced this and are working on it currently. You should see this restored to its original functionality with the 339 release.

Kind regards,

Kind regards,

And so it happened in effect: we saw that restored to its original functionality with the 339 release.

I apologize for not being able to thank you at the time.

Thank you very much, and greetings to all.
