Is there a function to add all currently marked numbers/values in pdf and show result?

Post by mattad »

Sometimes I would appreciate to have simple adding feature at hand for pdf files.

I would like to mark a
- couple of number values
or
- sentences/paragraphs which contain numbers with chars between them
or
- a number column in a pdf table

Then I would like to click a certain menu or toolbar icon and PDF XChange editor should show me the sum of all marked values (ignoring possible chars or formatting stuff).
Possibly this can be done even automatically showing the current sum in the status bar at the bottom.

Is this somehow possible in PDF-Xchange editor?

Or can this feature be added in the next release?

Keep in mind that the adding function should be able to recognize european number notation and separator dots. So

23.456.789,55 Euro

should be treated as 23456789 Euro and 55 cent

Hello, mattad

It is not something that is currently possible, but I can pass it along to the Dev team for consideration.

Even if it is accepted, I should note that what you are asking for is quite complex, and so I can guarantee you even with a rush, we could not offer it "in the next release".
All feature requests that are implemented, do so only when they are ready, and at a rate that is manageable to our (very small) Dev team. For this reason, we can never promise timelines on implementation, until the Devs inform us it is completed. In some cases, a rough estimate may be possible ahead of time, but this are hopeful targets, instead of a delivery promise.
