Atlantis Word Processor Forum

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.

And here as comparison the PDF-file created from the same doc-file with an online service (https://go4convert.com/).

All hyperlinks work fine with SumatraPDF too.

In the attachment you can find a MS Word document (.doc) and the PDF I created from it with Atlantis.

I used two chapters of the Atlantis Help, removed the pictures, original hyperlinks etc. and created as test four hyperlinks in my MS Word document. You see them immediately at the beginning of the ...

Yes, it is similar and is not bad at all. But it has two drawbacks (compared with my practice in MS Word):

- You cannot decide per individual document but only in general if you want to go to the last cursor position or not.

- And the last cursor position is not necessarily the position where you ...

I used version 5.0.0.1.

I will try again with other files and possibly other PDF-viewers when I have time.

How do I include a picture in here?

Under the message box (where you write the text of your post) you can find a tab called "Attachments" . -> Klick on it -> Then klick on "Add files" -> Choose the picture you want to upload (or drag it into the message box).

If you want to place it directly ...

At least after a first test it seems to me that hyperlinks do not always work correctly after having saved a document (format .rtf or .doc) as PDF with the new version 5 of Atlantis:

More specifically (always referring to hyperlinks within the same file):
- When using the PDF-XChange Editor to view ...

However, the main menu command doesn't show save as PDF.

Did you look for File --> Save Special --> Save As PDF ?

--> It is not directly in the list under "File". You have to go one level deeper:

In MS Word (at least in the old version I use) there is a possibility after opening a document to jump directly to the location where the last edit was made. It works with the shortcut Shift+F5 or also with a command you can click on with the mouse. (That's the way I prefer it, though I do not ...

You may wish to check out the new accessibility option of Atlantis – [...].



The purpose of this option is to keep the text cursor at the designated location within the document window. You cannot navigate through the document text with both the text cursor and the document text locked at ...
