"Save As Optimized" feature not working properly

Post by David.P »

Hi forum and support team,

I just found out that the "Save As Optimized" feature seemingly has a glitch.

I have a partially scan-based document with 100 pages that I need to optimize. What I basically want is that dead hyperlinks be removed from the document, i.e. links to pages of the document that not exist anymore.

However, when using the "Cleanup" option with only "Discard Invalid Links" activated, not only the dead but instead all links in the document would be removed.

When additionally activating the option "Find and Remove Content Outside of the Crop Box", also all highlights and comments in the document are removed!

I attach a sample document where this happens.

Regards
David.P

Thank you for the fast action, Stefan.
Looking forward for a fix (and reluctantly using A**be A***bat) in the meantime,
David

We will be working on this David,

And I hope you use "the other tool" only for that part of your daily PDF needs! :D

Cheers,
Stefan

It seems to be fixed in the new version 7. Hopefully it will be fixed in version 6 too, because at the moment I hesitate to upgrade to version 7. Yet, the bug is a serious one.

Hi Joxon,

I'm afraid that we cannot offer fixes for older releases, so the fix will only be available from the latest release onward.

Thanks,
