Save Settings

Post by Mr. Nice Guy »

Hi,

is it still impossible to save settings?
I want to to embed all document used fonts when I create a PDF.
I set it in settings, but when I create a new document, settings
are lost and I have to set them again.

Hi,

Cabn you confirm you are doing this fromt he control panel before opening up the application you wish to use - for the most part - if you do it haviong already opened the application - these changes are treated as temporary for the life of the applications curent use - as soon as closed - the changes are lost - if you use the Control Panel -> Printers Faxes -PDF-XChange -> Right Click -> Printer Prefrences option - change and apply - and then open the applciation - changes should be permanent.

If not - please come back with specifically what changes you are making and we will investigate further.

Thanks

Can't find a tab, where I can change the settings for using fonts.

Hi,

Select PDF-XChange from your printers list - right click - > Printer Preferences (not Printer properties) - you will now see 'Fonts' as one of the page offerings on the right - provided you have PDF-XChange Standard or Pro - but not PDF-Xchange Lite.

Hope that helps

Ah, thanks! I found it but it seems to have no effects.
OK, after that, I opened a Word-Document (2007), swiched to the preferences Button and hoped that the option for fonts embedding is enabled - but it isn't! :-(

I found out the following facts:

1. Made configuration of Printer Preferences as you told me and saved them.

2. When I open a existierend Word 2007 document the option is not enabled. So converting will be happen without font-embedding.
Image

3. When I create a new Word document, the option is set.
Image

So - to save settings under "printer and fax" has just effects, if one creates a new Word document.
In my opinion - that's not good.

(Is it very difficult to understand my fu .... bad English??? :oops: )

Sorry, trouble reproduced and fixed. Fix will be available into the next build.

Trouble occurs when document was opened from from explorer by double-click. When document is opened via Word's Open command, there are no troubles.
