PDF XChange Forum

I found following errors in the dialog "PDF-Xchange 4 --> Settings" of the Office plugins in the german translation:

Tab: Setting --> General settings:
Field Transitions: Fully in English.

Tab: Word Options:
The first option is truncated, I assume due to the length of the text field.
The second option is not translated. (I propose "Änderungsmarkierungen konvertieren")

Tab: Advanced
The second option is not translated. (I propose "PDF-Datei in den Ursprungsordner speichern")
Option "Compress U3D output(slower)" in not translated. (I propose "U3D-Ausgabe komprimieren (langsamer)")

After converting the document in the dialog "PDF-XChange:Printing Progress" below the progress bar instead of the character '%' the string "4.243993e-314" is shown.
e.g. "50 4.243993e-314rledigt" instead of "50% erledigt"

I hope you can fix all theses point very soon.

Thanks, will fix.

Hi powerquest,
at the moment, the Language Tool doesn't allow to translate the mentioned strings, probably an update is needed. I fixed the %-issue for now. Just replace the xc40_ger.xcl in the <PDFXChange>\Languages directory with the one attached in the archive.


Hi Ivan,
while looking after the mentioned strings, I found two bugs and some additional missing translations.

First I want to report a bug in the Language Tool
The %-issue occured, because the language file isn't loaded correctly in the Language Tool. The string, which should be translated is "%d%% done". It's translated to "%d%% erledigt".
If I open the language file again, the translated string "%d%% erledigt" will be replaced by "%d% erledigt". If I save the language file, a "%" will be missing, which causes the problem.

And another bug, this time in PDF-XChange: The "Use users Regional Settings" option isn't remembered.
I set the language to English in printer preferences -> Settings, Languages. Now, I select "Use users Regional Settings" and the language changes to German. But when I click OK and reopen the printer preferences again, the interface is English and "Use users Regional Settings" unchecked.

And the untranslated strings:
The "Printing Progress" dialog remains untranslated, but at least some strings are in the language file translated.
In the Office Addin (Office 2007), the tooltip for the "Convert to PDF" Button contains the string "&Convert Document to PDF" which isn't translatable and the "&" is too much...


Regards, Mike

Hi powerquest,
finally a new language file, translating the missing strings you've reported.

Thanks Mike !

Hi, just for your info, I also sent a mail, which additionally contains the updated english template for PDF-XChange and the updated language file for the viewer.

Received - thanks Mike - very much !
