A cool feature would be to be able to bind keys to some commands. For example y have to translate 89 pages of a pdf file, and i have to go from line to line changing the words, and every time i finish a sentence, i have to click on the "save and continue" icon, this wastes a lot of time, instead if i could just press F9 for example i would be ready to continue on to the next line.
It would also be nice to be able to write and when the size of the line is done, to be able to automatically go under, like with microsoft word. In case I want to remplace a whole parragraph, i have to go line by line, double clicking all the time. It would be very cool to just modify the whole paragraph (i think the "Converting Text to Path" feature will solve this, right?)
What do you think of adding such features?

That feature has been avaiable in version 2.1 under the File menu. Just give it a try. Thanks.

I use AutoHotkey (http://www.autohotkey.com/) for doing anything remotely like that in Windows. There is a small learning curve, but just using it for simple KeyBindings that you want to issue specific aliased commands is pretty straight forward. And once you've done it once, it opens up a plethora of options for working with any Program.

My favorite is to have a SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+F9 key set on my MX518 mouse, and set that combination to do a number of different things in AHK depending on the App I'm using. I.E. Issuing any number of automatic subsequent keystrokes or mouseclicks or movements.

The forums (http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/) are fairly helpful from what I've seen as well. As well as lots of documentation (http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/), tutorials (http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Tutorial.htm) and a robust helpfile.

Hi;

I have Foxit Editor ver 2.0. My question is can I upgrade to 2.1 with my license?

Thanks!

voltron

[christina]

You can upgrade freely within one year since the date you purchased the license.

[voltron]

Hi;

Thanks for the reply. I'll check and see if I can still can. I have to install it again since I had your competitor's Pro edition installed. I asked because I plan to install it again (Editor) but saw your new version when I got to the download page.

Will I still be able to get updates if ever I can't upgrade to the newer version?

Regards,

voltron

[christina]

Yes, within the valid year, you can freely upgrade to whatever versions.
