Full Screen - Disable Auto Scroll, Select Text and Commenting Ever Envisioned?

[shade-cabin-hammock]

Hi,

Ah! Please a few questions about full screen.

AUTO PAGE TURNING MYSTERIOUSLY ON
Somehow, when I started using full screen today I'm able to open a document in full screen, but it immediately starts Auto turning Pages?

I checked to see if I had auto scroll enabled, or perhaps had mistakenly configured the f11 key to also auto scroll, but no.

What do you think is happening?


EASIER TO SEE CURSOR & CAN SELECT, COPY TEXT
Is there any way to make the cursor more easily visible in full screen, and, are we able to select text and copy in full screen?


COMMENTING
It seems that all commenting is disabled in full screen. Is that due to a requirement to suppress the too many functions of our Good PDF-X in order to enable full screen? Or, is that just a conscious decision in line with the guidelines and specifications for PDF?

Put another way, is there some programmatic complication when invoking full screen which requires the suppression of commenting? Or, is it simply an effort to stay within the guidelines?

Hello,

You will have to verify your "Full Screen"-preferences in PDF-XChange Editor (via File > Preferences > Full Screen).

You will see that there are options for "Presentation Mode", "Automatically go to next page" and "Loop after last page".
Make sure to turn these (three options) off. After that, you will see that the right-mouse-click-menu will be available again.
In that menu, you can select the "Select Text"-tool instead of the "Hand Tool". Once that the "Select Text"-tool is active, the right-mouse-click-menu will have some Commenting-options like highlight, strikeout, replace, ...

*** Question for Tracker Support: ***
At this moment, it seems like it is not possible to keep the "Select Text"-tool as default in Full Screen mode.
Would this be something worth for a feature request ?

Kind regards.

Willy

Hello Willy Van Nuffel,

Thanks for your input!
I will ask our devs about the "Select Text" staying selected in Full screen.

Kind regards,
Stefan
