Re-open PDF files with lately used orientation setting

Post by tracusr »

Hi,

important things first: thanks for developing all the functionality I need!
When reopening a pdf file PDF-XChange shows the page where I left last time. What would be nice, if it also the page orientation setting would be persistent.

Maybe this is just some lines of code...

Thank you

Hello tracusr,

The "rotation" which you are referring to, is just visual, the actual page orientation is stored inside the file separately and is different than what you are using. If you have a PRO license for the Viewer you can use the "Document -> Rotate Pages..." command and make the new orientation permanent.

Regards,
Stefan

Hello Supp-Stefan,

I know the page orientation is stored in the pdf. I didn't want to change it permanently.

When you re-open a pdf with pdf-xchange viewer free, it jumps to the page where you stopped reading last time - during your last session. So pdf-xchange stores the current page number for a document somewhere in the user-settings, since a different user opening the same file, will start at top of it.

My idea was to store a flag for the last chosen "view orientation", so that upon re-opening the file you hit the recent page and at the same time see it in the recent orientation.

Do you understand what I mean?

Thank you for your support.

Hello tracusr,

Got some good news :)
This will be added so the Viewer will be remembering not only the last viewer page but also the View orientation you were using, as long as the file is in your recent list. This will be included in the next build (we will release one today but it's already compiled so it will not be that but the build after it).

Cheers,
Stefan
