Some IOperation PagesRange.RangeTypes Custom and CustomRect SOLVED

[zarkogajic]

Hi Support,

I'm playing with the op.document.replaceFonts ...

I had a crazy idea of specifying: I only want to change fonts "inside" the bottom half of a page (or pages).

I've tried specifying the "Custom" and the "CustomRect" values - but nothing happens - no changes to the document.

This, I guess means, op.document.replaceFonts ignores PagesRange's Custom/CustomRect values (i.e. is not implemented)?

p.s.
I can do the change on all pages, page range, etc ... I would really want to specify a rectangle (on a page) where the operation would do its magical work ....

Hi Zarko.

You are right, it is not implemented yet.
But seems the idea isn't too crazy and we will make a feature request to do it in the future.

Cheers.

Hi Vasyl,

But seems the idea isn't too crazy and we will make a feature request to do it in the future.

Wohoo

Am actually looking into being possible to do the following:

So, specify (in this sample 4) custom rectangles on a page and have the magic do its work ...

It will not be so difficult to change just the color of the selected fragments of text. As shown in your screenshot.
But it will be incredibly difficult to change the font for text-fragments exactly and only covered by the selection rectangle. Because when you change font - it may (will) reflow the other text in the text block.
If you want only to change the color of text - maybe it can be implemented as a separate feature, like HighlightText tool, but it will change the color of the selected text instead of adding the highlight-comment to it.

Hi Vasyl,

Yes, I only need color changing (keep font type/size..).
