Displaying the orange file menu?

Post by ellentk »

Is there a way to permanently display the orange file menu on the left hand pane while viewing documents in PDF-Xchange Editor?

Thanks.

Hello ellentk,

It doesn't appear to be possible to show the File tab permanently, but a similar functionality might be achieved with the Customize Toolbars feature.

Best regards,

Hello, rakunavi

I will be Honest here, I have no clue how you managed to clone the entire file menu like this. It shouldnt be possible to "grab" the container, the best I could accomplish on this was manually dragging each tool onto a new toolbar. Could I ask you to please provide your personal step-by-step process for locating and placing this, for both myself and anyone else who may wish to do this?

Hi Daniel,

As you wrote, I just manually dragged each command to the new toolbar while referring to the File tab. I didn't use any special magic. :D

Hello, rakunavi

Except mine ends up looking like this:

You have the special File menu formatting/layout over there.... Clearly there is something unique you have done here

Kind regards,

Hi Daniel,

To make it look similar, I just disabled the Show Icon and enabled the Show Text for each command.
