I'm curious whether the disappearing text "bug" has been fixed in this build 

[cyberber]

no fix for this version?

Since it's not in the patch notes I doubt it, they tend to be very thorough.

 

And have you even made a forum post about this issue to make the devs aware? I've never had this "bug" you keep bringing up (in past PDF-X threads), so it's more then likely specific to your setup and not wide spread. If you tell them about it, and give them an explanation on how to reproduce it, then I'm sure it'll get fixed sooner then later. Or you can just keep coming into these threads doing the whole "I'm curious if "bug" has been fixed yet..." until the end of time.

" no fix for this version? "..............latest fix ( Master Soda) is for previous 8.0.333 .

We all wait for the new fix from Master Soda..................

I have this issue also, it's annoying.

You open a PDF, leave it open a while and after some time text disappear. It's necessary to close and open the document again to be able to see everything.

But after a while, the same issue occurs. 

 

I think the devs should have had plenty of feedback, surely we are not the only ones affected by this bug.

 

Cheers.

On preliminary testing of the main paid functions, it appears to work perfectly. Great job!

It would be wonderful if you could fix the pdfSaver.exe too - maybe doing an analog fix based on Soda's for build 333.

 

PS. Thank you for catering to 32bit users... who are often overlooked in these 64bit times

" Fix as Soda Method "...........do we have to uninstall previous ( 832/833) first ?

Does this medicin remove the "watermark" also........??

Do we need to use both medicins ( x64 and x86) on a x64-system......??

Note: If you use x64 Noojanjer patch you obtain the same fixed dll (100%)
... but if you use x32 Noojanjer patch you obtain a slightly different fixed dll (relatively to previous posted - 90% target bytes are the same) - please test-it carefully

I'm testing Sir Elchupacabra's very complete version, and so far it's performing beautifully - typical for his releases, in fact

[WorkNoFun]

Any links to a working Repack of PDF-XChange Editor 8.0.334.0 x64-bit?

Warning: Elchupacabra's version has modified dlls that are not fully functional (which you might have suspected from the limited number of bytes-target);  for example they produce incorrect PDF->Office conversions, with passwords and watermarks, and do not allow the important functions "Enhanced OCR" !

 

[Pete 12]

Still not a complete (!) medicin from Master Soda .........??

So with x64/x86 , and printer without (!)  the nasty watermarks .........??

Searching for a working solution several days ...............!

You're right, I've just come across these limitations. The result being that I switched Elchupacabra's files with yours and now everything works as it should... including password removal I hope Elchupacabra's pdfSaver works, although it's a few bytes smaller than the original file. Gonna test that next. Damn, I do miss Soda's medicines!

Editor: use my Soda strictly compliant fixes (x32-64) posted above

Printer: Have you tried Noojanjer patches? They should also work for PDFsaverL x32-64

Yes, @Advertiser's solution works perfectly - to create pdfs within the editor. As Advertiser himself recommends in the post above, for printing you can try @Noojanjer's fix. I myself haven't tried that, since I use the Standard printer (included in PDF-XChange PRO), not the Lite (included with the Editor).
