Re: Pdf Xchange Viewer Page Numbering
Theodora Glime
I used a portable copy for testing and found that I needed to make a couple of changes as described above I found it easiest to add an acro2sumatra.cmd file into the SumatraPDF folder (but it does not really matter where it is located)
You will also find a technique in this forum to integrate xchange with sumatrapdf so the pages can be viewed via cross links between the two bypassing zotfiles when it may prove quicker see Use sumatra as external viewer
Syntax can be troublesome in some cases note that I used \ rather than / and in some systems it can look like the yen symbol. "Double quotes" can also cause problems in some languages and should be simple one key producing a pair of uprights.
hi all!
is there a way to display the pages of pdf files in the pages column? I can the page count in the PDF properties from within pdf-xchange, but I can't see it in dopus's medata panel, OR the pages column...
any ideas?
thanks!
Opus should display the column if you have PDF software that provides a suitable column and you turn it on. You might want to ask the makers of the PDF software you have installed, since the feature will depend on them.
i was asking this question as i've Acrobat XI as well as PDF x-change viewer installed on my system and able to view the number of pages, of PDF files in 'Windows Explorer' as well as in 'XYplorer' (the file manager which i currently have, but not liking its limitations so installed Dopus trial and trying my hands on it )
(They are fairly rare these days, as Explorer itself dropped support for them. But Opus and some other file managers still support them, and they're still the only way to do certain things like source control status columns.)
Just for information -> If PDF X-change viewer is installed -> i was not able to apply 'star-rating' to pdf files,
then i un-installed PDF x-change viewer and was able to apply 'star-rating' of PDF files with Adobe Acrobat installed
I've tried the following PDF Property Handler which all show the Page Count of each PDF Document in a Folder if you are using Windows Explorer and have selected the "Pages" Column in the Detailed View (however the Pages Column is Blank if you view the same Folder with Directory Opus):
Here is a Folder in Windows Explorer with the Directory Opus 11 Manual in PDF, DOC, & DOCX Format - each is meant to be 899 Pages. The DOC & PDF files show the correct Page Count. However the DOCX only shows 1 Page:
Here is the same Folder in Directory Opus with the Directory Opus 11 Manual in PDF, DOC, & DOCX Format - each is meant to be 899 Pages. Only the DOC file show the correct Page Count. However the DOCX only shows 1 Page, and the PDF shows no Pages:
Enfocus PitStop Pro makes adding and modifying PDF page numbers simple and fast, and removes the need to go back to the designer to rework the PDF files. If you have a large volume of PDF files to process, consider automating page numbering with Enfocus PitStop Server.
Today, we explore PDF Exchange Editor, a recommended program for agents using a PC. The free version is available, but the pro version, priced at just over $40.00, is highly recommended. The tool allows for easy editing, such as changing prices and adding new text or annotations. Extracting pages is also possible, making it a versatile tool for document handling. Additional features include strikeout, textbox, and shapes like arrows. Very simple and user-friendly for various editing tasks.
Hi all, in a quick enquiry to support, it seems that being able to physically print the ladder so that you can actually read it easily is perhaps happening soon. But only in new versions it seems. This post is a bit long but stick with it. It's simple but worth a learn.
A little while ago I had to work with hard copy in Visilogic for the first time in ages, as I couldn't do multi-monitor work with a pdf print on one monitor to refer to. As we all know, on an A4 page the print is so tiny it's incomprehensible. If you do screenshots etc with overlaps on the printer it makes it awkward to use as you have to pick and choose which pages to print anyway, and for some reason on my systems the numbering goes astray. I still am sitting on 9.8.65.
Tonight I played with variations to my "enlarging" methods, and found one that works to make it fairly easy. Please note that many of you use the full width of ladder and this method may not help you at all. However, you'll likely be able to find a sweet spot of your own for some settings that are different to mine. It is worth playing around as hard copy is sometimes useful.
You need to have a print to pdf method installed on your PC. On my systems Micro$oft Print to PDF invokes a run time error when I try to use it in Visilogic. Regardless, for ages I've used dopdf as my pdf printer of choice, and the best version is #7, as later ones have all sorts of crap thrown in. I've attached the program for those that want it. For my example I've used my mobile-at-lights giggle I did a while back.
Using the standard print dialogue, I set my page to Portrait, which I have to check each time as even though it is set to default into this, Visi keeps on changing it to Landscape. I initially have to print the page at 100% as no matter what I put in it always seems to print at this size. I end up with this which is just part of the top of 2 pages:
Now open the pdf in a reader or your choice that can do print scaling with overlaps. I often use PDF-Xchange Viewer. Again printing to dopdf, I set scaling to Tile all pages, zoom at 220%, overlap of 0cm and print all pages. I now get this, but there are overlaps and blank pages all over the place:
So....to finalise it all, I go through this print in PDF X-change, manually noting the page numbers that actually show the ladderwork I want. In my mobile at lights example, I actually put it over the top of another program I was working on when my "mobiles frustrations" surfaced into fun, so the entire sub takes up 17 pages of this print. But the bits of ladder are at 1, 4, 10 & 14. Mobile at lights is only 1 page, though. So we'll pretend that I'm now doing the final stage of print, and that is select the pages. I again go to print via dopdf, change back the zoom setting to 100% (don't forget to do this if you haven't closed the pdf viewing program!), use Page Range of your selected pages, No scaling, etc and again print to pdf.
Ahh yes, those were the days. Who can forget all that mucking around with jumpers on mboards, setting innumerable interrupts and gawd knows what else. And costly, too, especially if you got one with a selectable "turbo"! I remember a CD writer I needed and it cost over $800, back then! And it worked if you were lucky. "Damn, another (expensive) coaster after waiting for ages."
The P190 weighed about 50 pounds, and I have memories of lugging it outside to a chemical tote-filling structure at Monsanto with a very long serial cable connecting it to the $25,000.00 Modicon 584 PLC for troubleshooting.
1989....How times have changed, ehh? I do love that it appears that the tapes are still available, as it looks like there is a clipped off "In stock". I bet Kratmel can top that one, or might even have one in his cave.
And I would print the ladders out for each of the 60+ panels for reference, and stash in the panel document slot of each (yes, dot matrix on fan-fold paper, made it easy to read in a contiguous fashion, rather than flipping individual pages).
See Understanding Techniques for WCAG Success Criteria for important information about the usage of these informative techniques and how they relate to the normative WCAG 2.0 success criteria. The Applicability section explains the scope of the technique, and the presence of techniques for a specific technology does not imply that the technology can be used in all situations to create content that meets WCAG 2.0.
The objective of this technique is to help users locate themselves in a document by ensuring that the page numbering displayed in the PDF viewer page controls has the same page numbering as the document. For example, Adobe Acrobat Pro and Reader display page numbers in the Page Navigation toolbar. The page number format is specified by the /PageLabels entry in the Document Catalog.
Many documents use specific page number formats within a document. Commonly, front matter is numbered with lowercase Roman numerals. The main content, starting on the page numbered 1, may actually be the fifth or sixth page in the document. Similarly, appendices may begin with page number 1 plus a prefix of the appendix letter (e.g., "A-1").
Authors should make sure that the page numbering of their converted documents is reflected in any page number displays in their user agent. Consistency in presenting the document's page numbers will help make navigating the document more predictable and understandable.
As an example, if /PageLabels has not been provided to describe the page number formatting, the page numbering scheme will not be reflected in the Page Navigation toolbar in Adobe Acrobat Pro or Reader. This toolbar displays the page number in a text box, which users can change to move to another page. In addition, users can select the arrows to move one page up or down in the document. The toolbar also displays the relative page number location. In the image below, the default display indicates the user is on page 1 of 4 pages.
A more direct way of going to a page is to use the shortcut for the View > Page Navigation > Page menu item. On Windows, this shortcut is "Ctrl + Shift + N"; on Mac OS, it is "Cmd + Shift + N". This brings up a dialog box to go to a specific page number.
This example is shown with Adobe Acrobat Pro. There are other software tools that perform similar functions. See the list of other software tools in PDF Authoring Tools that Provide Accessibility Support.
The example document converted from Microsoft Word 2007 has 4 pages, numbered i, ii, iii, 1. The image below shows the Word document with lowercase Roman numeral page numbering specified In Word using:
