PDF XChange Forum

I create a drawing in Adobe Illustrator and save it as pdf. Then I open it in PDF-XChange Editor and also in Adobe Acrobat. Attached are the the snapshots of what I see using these two softwares.

So, PDF-XChange Editor does not show the drawing properly and it simplifies the line thickness and removes some details. I also tried SumatraPDF and it also shows the drawing properly with correct line thickness and all details.

Is there anyway to get PDF-XChange Editor to show the drawing accurately and not remove any details from them?

Your images are not available to us. Can you please put them in a ZIP file and attach them?

Maybe you can already try to obtain a better display of the images by changing options in PDF-XChange Editor > Edit-menu > Preferences ... > Page Display > Rendering... (button).

Best regards.

Sorry for the issue with images. I just attached a zip file containing the images.
I already tried the render setting with no luck!

Hello us3r4it,

Thank you for your post. Could you please post this PDF drawing so that we can investigate this further?

Thank you!

Sure. it is attached. What do you think?
BTW, I tried it on different machines and they have same issues.

Looks pretty much the same over here in both programs on my computer. Acrobat Professional 7.1.4 and Editor Plus 322.3.

Hi All,

This file looks the same to me in Adobe and Editor as well. Please try using [Ctrl]+[5].

This command toggles visible line thickness to 1pt instead of the encoded width. I found this works with your document as well.

Please let us know if this solves the issue.

Thank you!

Yes, Ctrl-5 does the trick, thank you very much. What is the name of this feature and where is it in the toolbar or main menu?

Thank you very much.

Hello us3r4it,

The command does not have a menu item. It is named 'Thin Lines'. Command ID: cmd.view.thinLines

Cheers!
