Anand.V.K: PDF reader (or viewer) for J2ME (Mobile Java) based cellphones will be very useful and helpful to people on the move. Can we implement this using the same decoding technique currently used for Sumatra PDF Viewer for viewing PDF files.

How to: Read that to save your config!

Uwe Österle: "If you want to set defaults for those settings, close all the documents so you have the yellow screen, then set the options."

I found it - My fault!

Configuration changes do not carry forward to the next opening

Uwe Österle: Hi,

I don't know, if this is supposed to be a feature or a bug.

I would like to see, that if I make configuration changes like:
- View/ Continuous facing
- Zoom / Fit Width

That this new configuration is still used when I next open the program. It´s the only thing that´s buggy on it.

I work often with PD File´s and that little Program here is perfect, cause it is small, stable and very fast.

Please fix that, or tell me what I have to do fix that.

Regards and Thank´s for that little Prog.

Jump from application to cartain site - Context sensitive help

2008-11-20T14:24:38Z

Peetrix: Hi,
is it possible to call the Sumatra PDF-Viewer with a certain site?
I want to use Sumatra PDF-Viewer commercial as the basic PDF-Helpfile-Reader on the computers we distribute.

We need a context sensitive help in our application.
The Adobe Reader supports this calls by using parameter "filename.pdf#page=xx"
I hope somebody has an idea for my problem.

I have seen this link http://william.famille-blum.org/blog/static.php?page=static081010-000413

Stack overflow (2)

2008-11-16T17:14:01Z

cde: http://salug.hosting.cri74.org/Multimedia/VLC/videolan-howto-fr.pdf

This is not a buffer overflow, but a stack overflow (program runs out of stack space). It believe it is similar to the stack overflow I reported earlier.

Wrong (color) rendering

2008-11-15T12:07:49Z

Jan: Rendering of this PDF gives unreadable results:

http://www.binck.com/nl/welkom/data/pdf/handleiding_daytrader.pdf

Textcolor is lightgreen and totally wrong, compared to rendering in Adobe or Foxit.

Strange thing:
I had the rendering correct in Sumatra after viewing it in Adobe and viewing it directly afterwards in Sumatra too. Next time loaded in Sumatra it was broken again.

menus & shortcut

2008-11-11T13:43:46Z

Andrea Tsanos: I'll like to see every command in menus, and also find every shortcut near each command.
I suggest to add a "standard" edit menu with copy and search commands.

I also need an easy way to grasp a partial image from the visualized page(s).

Thanks a lot for your astounding work just made.

How to change the inverse search setting?

2008-11-10T16:58:31Z

rogal: I have set the inverse search so when I double click on something SumatraPDF opens EditPlus.

I am now trying to change it back so it will open WinEdt instead, and I'm getting no luck. I have tried

"C:\Program Files\SumatraPDF\sumatrapdf.exe" -inverse-search "C:\Program Files\WinEdt Team\WinEdt\WinEdt.exe" "[Open(|%f|);SelPar(%l,8)]"

in command window several times but when I double-click on SumatraPDF it still opens EditPlus.

Overlapping characters; search not working

2008-11-10T16:22:30Z

HF: Hi,
when viewing the document at
http://www.ufh-kassel.de/ole/Skript_17022007.pdf
then I have the following problems:

1. Some characters are displayed overlapping.

2. Text search does not work, though the document obviously is text (Google indexes it with a text excerpt!).

SumatraPDF version is 0.9.3 (current).

Cheers,
Herwig
