Die Freeware "PDF Split and Merge" fügt einzelne PDFs zusammen und umgekehrt. Sie haben mehrere Präsentationen als PDF vorliegen und müssen daraus eine einzelne erstellen - jedes PDF in die Ursprungsdatei zurückzuverwandeln, anschließend zusammenzufügen und danach erneut zu konvertieren gestaltet sich als mühselig und zeitintensiv.

Die Freeware "PDF Split and Merge" kürzt den Prozess ab, indem es bereits existierende PDFs über nur wenige Mausklicks trennt oder zusammenfügt.

Bugfixes and Improvements

    Fixed some security and stability issues. Click here for further information.

    Fixed a rare but critical issue in the Enhanced OCR feature that sometimes caused an 'Unspecified error' or 'Some pages weren't OCR'ed ...'' error on specific documents.

    Fixed 'Paste Special' issue when using the keyboard. There was an issue with choosing different paste options when using the keyboard in the context menu. (40976)

    Restored the ability to use a "Destination" when using 'Insert scanned images'.

    Minor fix: increased the threshold that determines when a user can begin specifying a custom size for a new stamp in order to ignore small fluctuations caused by mouse/finger twitching.

    Fixed an issue with using the 'Cut' operation for images in content that is selected with the Select Text/Hand tools.

    Fixed an issue related to editing images in base content. In some cases glitches were possible after making changes to images. (39671)

    Fixed mouse/touch handling when the Hand/Select Text tool is active and then an image is selected. Previously, it was impossible to select text over the image or 'scroll-by-Hand' inside the region of the image.

    Fixed issue with applying icon set via field.buttonSetIcon (41018)

Changelog

DocTool: Fewer temporary changes of the standard printer to the PDF printer

Removed 3 places in the code where the default printer is temporarily changed to the PDF printer. For the conversion of Word, Excel and PowerPoint, it is no longer necessary for the PDF printer to be the default printer.

Toolbox: Inserting the same image twice in the PDF editor now possible

It is now possible to insert the same image twice in a row in the PDF editing tool. Previously, you could only insert the same image once.

Toolbox: EXIF-Polyfill removed

The custom EXIF code has been removed as Webview2 is able to handle it and display the images in the correct orientation. This also fixes a problem with incorrect image orientation in the overlay file preview.

Toolbox: Fixed problem when canceling a render task

A problem with canceling the current rendering task when rendering a PDF page has been fixed.

Toolbox: Signature import improved

The import of signatures has been improved. The color and black options are available. Storage has been changed to localStorage. Vectorized images are now often much smaller, so saving should not be a problem in most cases. If a signature cannot be saved for the next use, an info message is displayed. A message is also displayed if the user closes the window and changes have been made that have not yet been saved.
Toolbox: Dark theme improved

Toolbox: Modified Flag added to some tools

The "Edit", "Annotate", "Sign" and "Redact" tools have been provided with a modified flag. If the modified flag is set, the user must now confirm if they want to return to the start page without saving the change. If the modified bit is not set, no confirmation is displayed. Saving the file deletes the modified flag.
Toolbox: Toolbar for editing, blackening and signing tool improved
Toolbox: Problem with opening modal dialogs fixed

Modal dialogs that are opened within the Web Message Handler are problematic. So we have changed this. This fixes a problem when opening the output profile manager, for example.

Reader: Insert text annotations integrated

Text can now be highlighted, underlined and striked out via the context menu of the selected text. If a text is already highlighted, underlined or striked out, the context menu offers the option of changing the color, removing the annotation and adding a comment.

Reader: Insert comments into page

Comments can be added to a page via the context menu. This special annotation can be moved using drag & drop.

Reader: SHIFT + space bar to scroll current view upwards

Pressing the SHIFT + spacebar key combination now scrolls the current view upwards to make the previously invisible part visible.

Reader: Tooltip for annotations improved

The tooltip for annotations has been improved. A separate implementation is now used. Umlauts are now also displayed correctly. The tooltip displays the content string of an annotation.
Reader: Ctrl+O to open a file

Reader: Text selection improved

The char box is now used for text selection and no longer just the surrounding box of the character. This makes the selection areas better and more attractive. The speed of rendering the text selection has also been improved.

Reader: PDFBox updated to version 2.0.30
Reader: JRE updated to LTS version 17.0.9_9
Reader: Webview2 updated to version 119.0.2151.58
Reader: Ghostscript updated to version 10.02.1
