Line Ends (Vector) Not Rounded in PDF XChange Editor Pro

Post by sven.arnold »

Hi everyone,

I’m working with PDF XChange Editor Pro and noticed an issue with how dashed and dotted lines are rendered. In the attached image, you can see a side-by-side comparison: Left: Display in PDF XChange Editor Pro, Right: Display in another PDF reader

In the another PDF reader, the ends of the dashed and dotted lines are nicely rounded.
However, in PDF XChange Editor Pro, the line ends are only rounded on one side.

Does anyone know:
- Is there a setting in PDF XChange Editor Pro that controls whether line ends are rounded?
- Is this a rendering limitation or a known bug?
- Any workaround to make the appearance consistent with the other PDF reader?

Thanks in advance for any help!
