PDF-XChange Editor Version History

NEW Updated the 'Replace Pages' page range options to use a new page range style.

In the "Replace pages" dialog, a selection of pages has been added from the following options: current page, selected pages and manually specified pages.

NEW Added an option to fix invalid 'ToUnicode' maps for embedded fonts.

Fix fonts with incorrect unicodes. To use this feature, select a single text element in the Content panel and use "Repair ToUnicode CMap" from the context menu

NEW Added an option to use 'bottom-up Y-axis' in the Transform tool.

This option provide to reverse the coordinate system in the transform tool.  While we know that the PDF Standard uses bottom up. It is not intuitive to users to have to reverse the ruler, an option for the Transform Tool to use "Bottom Up Y Axis" would make it much easier for users to use this tool.

Also was created new "Audit Space Usage" command, which can be added in any ribbon panel by "Customise Toolbars"

NEW Added a feature to search for terms inside the 'Preferences' dialog box.

NEW Enhanced the 'Quick Launch' feature to include finding items inside the 'Preferences' dialog box. Clicking 'Quick Launch' opens the corresponding 'Preferences' dialog box.

NEW Added an option to choose how to truncate document tab titles when the tab is too narrow to display all its text.
