Hello Stefan, thank you for your reply.
I am happy to have unexpectedly provided the requested file.

I do see that those annotations do scale in thickness even when resized in the Editor, unlike our own pencil input.
With all due respect, what you are describing might be somewhat different from my understanding. As far as I have tried here, the line thicknesses were not scaled when selected using the selection tool in the PDF-XChange Editor and resized by dragging the resize handles. The results are shown on the first page of the attached file.
When I used the Resize Pages dialog, which I have been telling you about since the beginning of this topic, the line thickness was scaled when resizing.
However, when comparing
the results of scaling down in Drawboard PDF with the above results of scaling down in PDF-XChange Editor using the Resize Pages function, they are similar in that the thickness of the lines is proportional to the size, but depending on the zoom level, the thickness of the lines in PDF-XChange Editor.
When the zoom level is increased, the line thicknesses of both seem to eventually become the same, but at zoom levels within the commonly used range, the result of scaling with Drawboard PDF looks more natural, at least to me. This is probably a matter of preference, and I am not sure if I am conveying what I want to say properly, but I have attached a video for your reference.
Sorry for repeatedly mentioning Drawboard PDF from the middle of the topic, but of course I am not asking for scaling compatibility in PDF-XChange Editor for annotations created in Drawboard PDF.
Even if, in the far distant future, PDF-XChange Editor should be able to scale annotation thickness proportionally when resizing pencil tool annotations, if the implementation is similar to the current Resize Pages function, the line thickness might become too thin, as shown in the above example. For this reason, I have provided the status of the ideal implementation in Drawboard PDF that users are looking for.
It might be premature to be concerned about such things at a stage when nothing has been decided yet, but as I am asking a precious few elite developers to consider my request, I believe it is more meaningful to make all my wishes known from the beginning, rather than nitpicking them.
Best regards,
