Atlantis Word Processor Forum

Thanks for this super fast fix. All works fine with 5.0.0.15.

That's an aspect that I had either not dealt with when I made some short tests with the new PDF-feature of Atlantis some weeks ago, or it is an issue that was caused only recently by some update:

Just now I created pdf files with Atlantis, version 5.0.0.14 ("File -> Save Special -> Save As PDF ...

Nothing of big importance. But because at the moment it is very quiet here in the Forum I think I can mention it. :wink:

In the Reveal Formatting panel of the Control Board are listed the font colors. For "green" in English it looks like this:

In the German language "green" means ...

O.k. Thanks.

Ah, I see. - I always use the Draft view.

Because of technical limitations or as a deliberate decision?

You are welcome, rstroud.

Thanks to both of you for your comments about the subject. My opinion concerning the position of the two bars is still a different one, but the matter is not so important to insist with counterarguments etc.

Concerning "Abschnitt" vs. "Seite" ("Section" vs. "Page"):

A request for a small correction. Surely not of big importance but because of logical reasons it is a bit annoying as it is now. :P

When the Document Bar is positioned on the bottom it is shown above the Status Bar.

That's not logical as the Status Bar refers to the document which is shown in the ...

@rstroud:
What a nice and partly even poetical description of a (really excellent) software. Well done.

This would be fine. Thanks.

O.k. That's no good news. But thank you for your reply.

Yes, either this method. Or write the message directly in the forum but save (copy) it in certain intervals and in any case before clicking "Submit". Then - after being kicked out and performing the second login - paste it again in the message box. - That's the way I do it most of the time. But in ...

Sorry, Robert, that my answer is very short but as it happens permanently in this forum, you are kicked out of it when it takes a longer time to write your post. Then you have to log in again but all your text is gone. - I do not like do write all from scratch again. Therefore my brief comment ...

Why not use Microsoft Edge to read your PDFs?
As it happened, just a few days ago I uninstalled Microsoft Edge from my computer. :mrgreen: Simply because I never used it. (My main browser is Firefox.) To maintain a whole browser only because of a PDF Reader would be no option for me ...

1. What is so special about Sumatra PDF (which is free) that you want to use it preferentially?
[...]
So if you have PDF-XChange, why are you using Sumatra?

Because of one reason: Sumatra is extremly quick and comfortable when searching within a file. I have some quite big documents and ...

Here are two examples how the environment of a page break shoud look like after cropping, when in the original file there is blank space at this point (PDF-file produced with go4convert.com, cropped with PDF-XChange Editor - see attachment):

When creating a PDF-file from a doc-file there is always a lot of white space at the page breaks. (Not only when the PDF is created by Atlantis but in general):


Page break - white space.jpg


In order to remove this white space I use a practical feature in the "PDF-XChange Editor" ( "Crop Pages ...

It displays correctly the PDFs exported from Atlantis.

Indeed. Hyperlinks work perfectly with this pre-release.

Many thanks for this information.

This is a SumatraPDF-specific issue.

Maybe. But at any rate SumatraPDF is not the only PDF-reader with this problem. I just tested it with two others:

- With "Foxit PDF Reader" indeed the hyperlinks work fine.
- With "PDF24 Reader" (part of "PDF24 Creator") (https://tools.pdf24.org/en/creator ...

It is too complicated for me to report such specific issues to Sumatra. Perhaps some users of Atlantis version 5 and SumatraPDF will do it some day. :wink:

But fact is that it is a peculiarity not only connected with SumatraPDF but also with the way in which Atlantis creates its PDF files. In the ...

Thanks for investigating the matter and for the explanations although these are no good news. It means that for me the new feature is to a large extent useless because my preferred pdf-viewer is Sumatra.
