"Remember Previous View" don't work

Post by jednorog »

I am new user of PDF-XChange Viewer. Week ago, I was installed version 2.04105 (Portable) and I was delighted with his ability to reopen document at the same place as last time. This is very important to me and Adobe Reader was ready for recycle bin :)

After few days, I notice new version 2.042 i try to install it on another computer, but reopening on the same place won't work anymore...

I also try non-portable version 2.042 and result is the same - document is always open on first page. Is there bug in new version or I am making some stupid mistake?

Windows XP is on both machine.

Working OK here.

See Preferences, Page Display, Restore last used layout and zoom settings for documents in the recently list after opening.

Perhaps you cleared your Recently used file list?

I think it's a bug after all. Preferences are the same on both machines, only difference is version of program. And I found something interesting - behavior depends on PDF file. For some files program remember position, for some don't. This two are examples:

Program remember position:

File is always open on first page:

Previous version of program remember position on both files. My friend have the same problem, so problem is repeatable...

Try with the attached document (produced from OpenOffice 3.1).

The behaviour depends on the settings in Edit, Preferences, Page Display. You can have PDF-XChange override any settings in the document. The default is Automatic, which will respect the settings in the document, even if you have remember last view set.
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Initial view dosn't work for me either. The newest version doesn't open the pdf file on the page where it was last viewed.

When I reinstall back the version 24102, it works fine.
