PDF-XChange Viewer is almost perfect

Post by David.P »

...only very few feature requests are left :wink:
  • Support undo after creation of text highlights to prevent having to select-and-delete the unwanted highlight
  • A second click on a tab could bring back the previously active tab (like e.g. the FLST extension for Firefox, or the Windows Taskbar)
  • Clicking on the "Page Width" zoom button should actually zoom to the width of the *currently displayed* page, not to the with of the widest page of the current document, even when in "continuous pages" view mode. This is one of the annoyances of Adobe Acrobat that should not be inherited by XChange Viewer.
  • Make the extended search highlight all found occurrences in the document, not only the one that is currently seelected in the extended search pane. For example, all found occurences could be highlighted blue, and the one that is selected in the extended search pane could be highlighted in yellow or green.
  • Great that the navigation bar has been made customizable, as requested a while ago. However, I can't seem to be able to place any elements of the navigation bar on any other toolbar. For example, I'd like only the navigation and page buttons as well as the "open with alternative PDF viewer" button to be placed on my personal toolbar row. However, these buttons refuse to share the same toolbar but instead always stay in a toolbar row of their own which is a waste of space.

  • Finally, for advanced power reading/editing of documents it would be amazing if selected text could be highlighted by simply hitting a hotkey like
    • hit "Y" -- and the text gets highlighted in yellow (this works already)
    • hit "G" -- the text gets highlighted in green
    • hit "R" -- and the text gets highlighted in red
      etc...
    Imagine how easy and time-saving you could highlight your way through complicated documents!
As always, thanks for listening to your users, and please do consider these feature requests,

Regards

I totally agree that UNDO function for highlighting or comments is extremely useful. I used a lot of commenting and found it is very interrupting to do "select-and-delete" to change or delete comments.

Please do consider to make it possible. This is the only thing reminds me some good features in Acrobat (I am almost 100% using PDF-Xchange even though I had Acrobat copy). :D

Thanks!

It is coming - but when the new UI is released early in the new year as it requires certain methodology that is very problematic using the current methods.

If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.
