PDF-XChange Editor Version History

NEW Added a redaction "code sets" menu. (47101)

We now offer a quick selection menu with Code Sets for redaction blocks.
We have also implemented a code list editing functions and an "import/export" function.

NEW Added a feature for partial cropping. (T# 7264) (45118)

NEW Added a notification for cases where the appearance of printed documents might differ from their appearance when viewed in the Editor UI.

Even though the digitalization of documents is standard, many important documents such as contracts are still often archived in paper format due to historical processes/regulations. Some PDF features, such as optional content, annotation flags that control visibility, and JavaScript actions, might change the document appearance in print.

This change means that PDF-XChange Editor will display a notification in the print dialog box when such cases are detected.

NEW Added a 'Highlight Destination' feature. (T# 4578)

Clicking a link or bookmark briefly shows a simple animated highlight at the destination. Options include the highlight alone, dimming the rest of the page, or both effects together.
Location: Preferences -> Page Display -> Highlight destination of clicked link/bookmark

NEW Added a 'Customize Unit Precision' feature. (T# 6934) (42617)

Set how many decimal places are shown for measurement units
Location: Preferences -> Measurement -> Precision...
