PDF-XChange Viewer is now superseded by editor
on: May 30, 2014, 10:28

It is on http://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-viewer

The PDF-XChange Editor is now available and supersedes the PDF-XChange Viewer !

The Editor now has a free version. I think it is time for Docear to look at the editor 😀

Thank you for your feedback. Please note that we - the Docear team - currently do not have the time to answer support questions. However, we encourage all Docear users to help each other.

Hello Wenbin,

and thanks for letting me know! 🙂

If you want you can test it for yourself. In Docear, please use "Tools and settings > Miscellaneous > Preferences" to open Docear's preferences panel. On the "PDF management" tab please find the "Manually define [...]" button, click it and change the path to the PDF X-Change viewer in the long command to match the path to the PDF X-Change editor's EXE-file.
Please make sure to not change anything else, especially don't touch the asterisks (*) or variables ($[...]) in the command.

And please backup your files to make sure nothing funny happens. 😉

Best,
Stefan

Highligted text isn't copied into the note (by PDFX Editor). For a particular paper at least which already contained some annotations written by Viewer. I've switched back to Viewer.

Hello lorkhan,

thanks for letting me know. I think there is an option in the PDF-Xchange-Editor's preferences to copy highlighted text into an annotation.
Docear tries to change the preferences for the XChange Viewer automatically, so you probably did not know about it.

Could you please test?
Thanks and best regards,
Stefan

Ah yes, found it. You were right. Changing the option did it.

"there is an option in the PDF-Xchange-Editor's preferences to copy highlighted text into an annotation."

For anyone looking for specifics:

Edit --> Preferences --> Commenting --> Copy encircled text into Drawing comment pop-ups
and
Edit --> Preferences --> Commenting --> Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-out, and Underline comment pop-ups

Hi all

First of all thank you for Docear!

Just a little issue I have with PDF-Xchange-Editor I do not have with PDF X Change Viewer: the "enable linebreak removal" option do not seems to work. I can modify the comments from Docear but when extra line breaks are added by PDF-Xchange-Editor/Viewer, the only line breaks which are removed are those from the Viewer.

Surprisingly, such line breaks are not added by Adobe Reader

Regards

Just so you know, this was posted on the Tracker website,

"The PDF-XChange Viewer has been discontinued and replaced by the PDF-XChange Editor which is now available including all the features of the Viewer and much, much more. . ."

As you know, the manual and all instructions are pretty unequivocal about directing users to use Viewer as a first choice and NOT use Editor. It's a big part of Docear use so perhaps a little attention to this change could be helpful.
