PDF XChange Forum

Hello,

it seems, that after Windows 10 Update 1607 the values of Pages.ScreenX / Pages.ScreenY have changed on high textscaling-settings. (see screenshots in attachment)

I have set the text-scaling of my monitor to 200% (Microsoft Surface 4, high-dpi). So I have a scaling-factor of 2.
Before Windows 10 Update 1607, Pages.ScreenX / Pages.ScreenY values correspond to the screen-position of the control (all panes are hidden).

After Windows 10 Update 1607, Pages.ScreenX / Pages.ScreenY value don't correspond to the screen-position (tested again on a Surface 4, high-dpi, text-scaling 200%). They have doubled their value (seems to be position * scaling-factor, tested also with other scalings - same behaviour).

You can verify this with the code in the attachment. Copy it into the main-form of your sample-application and bind it to a button. After loading a pdf, just see the values on a pc with 200% textscaling with and without Update 1607.
I believe, that this behaviour affects also to the function TranslateScreenPoint.

All tested with PDF-Viewer 2.5.317.1.

What is going wrong? What can I change?
I don't want to code OS-dependend...

Hello Hans-Peter,

Thanks for your post. Sorry to bring you the bad news, but the Viewer SDK is no longer actively developed, and it's unlikely that we will implement changes in it that will handle Windows scaling. So you will probably need to detect if such scaling is used, and then adjust the received coordinate values accordingly. Or switch to our Editor SDK which is the current and actively developer SDK package.

Regards,
Stefan
