![]() If the “Title Panels” are all metric the height range should be well defined however in many industries we may see upto 20xAO which means they are up to 26 yards to the right. Scrolling to targets can be variable for several reasons and the biggest factor is that page datums are measured up or down from the left whilst title blocks invariably are set to the furthest edge of variable page sizes. You can alternately “select all” and in the recipient app discard the unwanted info, but that then depends on the recipient app to allow for multiple page paste so for example MS-paint will only allow the first page. Using Windows Clipboard History to collect several zones in turn and later paste those separate areas at will, is about as good as Windows itself allows. see how pasting in WordPad and paint may differ. Windows Clipboard evolved and is evolving to multiple entries but still works sequentially (one zone at a time) the only appearance of concurrency is that selecting a zone of mixed content it can either be pasted as image or text into the recipient app. That hasent stopped some young bright spark suggesting we turn two centuries of record produced from left to right, to in the future be standardised in CAD to be drawn arse about face in negative co-ords from the bottom right, just so it suits their program requirements! However PDF will still count units from left to right. I am currently using an industrial CAD system where the internal drawing tags are presented in a fixed static position irrespective of paper space variations, thus can be very easily extracted / replaced by database macros. Having worked in and with CAD Bureaus and with Design Studios at many levels I do recognise the needs, however whilst there have been many different ways tried over the years, If there was a universal solution, it would be expensive. The scroll positions should be stored independently for horizontal and vertical axis. ![]() ![]() This way the scroll position is independent of the size of the original and will dynamically adjust itself to bottom right, even if the pdf size changes. When the next page opens, and the available scroll width is 1200 units, because the PDF is larger in size, the automatically calculated scroll position should be 0.8x1200 = 960 units. There are hundrets of files in such loops.Īn option that saves last used zoom % and scrollposition, in relative coordinates and restores them automatically when spdf is opened with that zoom option (zoom = last) would be wonderful.Įxample regarding relative scroll position: If the scrollable width is 1000 units (based on PDF size), and the active scrollposition.start when spdf is closed is 800, the scrollposition.start should be stored as a percentage float value 0.8 in this case. I wish to avoid having to zoom and scroll to the same bottom right position again. Automated batch code opens the next PDF which is similar in size, but not exactly the same. I copy the information I need and close SPDF. I zoom in to the bottom right corner and scroll to the position I need to extract information from. The titleblock of the drawing is at the bottom right. Use case: I open an Arch E (36x48") size PDF file with zoom to fit from batch code command line. That functionality, to extract Images with Ctrl should remain.Ģ- Can SPDF remember last used zoom and scrollposition of the viewer and store them when it is shut down ? During startup from the command line, or from the settings file I could pass in a flag to activate the last used zoom/scroll values. The control key is currently mapped to marking IMAGE content, which I use as well. How can I highlight and extract more than 1 text zone? I wish to extract text from non consecutive zones out of the content, ideally by holding the Control or similar key. Would the following 2 features be possible to implement, or do they exist already and I missed something in the documentation?ġ- I can highlight and copy text content to the clipboard. It is by far faster than Acrobat rendering for some complex content where acrobat takes forever to rasterize and display the content. I use Sumatra PDF with great pleasure for large format engineering/CAD drawings.
