It's clear that others are also experiencing a similar or identical issue on M1 chips.Īs much as we'd like to stick with PDFpenPro (and avoid Acrobat), I'm almost to the point of pulling the plug on PDFpenPro, a product that our company has relied on for years, and requesting a refund for licenses purchased after we originally reported this issue to Nitro. It has now been almost three months since I reported (via this topic) to Nitro.
#Pdfpenpro 7 update
I would appreciate a status update beyond "we are still investigating." It has been five months since I first reported this to Smile prior to acquisition by Nitro.
#Pdfpenpro 7 pdf
Please advise as to how I should proceed.Įxcessive CPU utilization and slow/frozen PDF rendering is a recurring issue for us. The product is essentially unusable currently. I'd submitted a process sample to Smile at their request.
#Pdfpenpro 7 install
I have tried a clean install of PDFpenPro without success. I have been experiencing consistent slow/unresponsive PDF rendering with concurrent high CPU utilization (nearly 100%) on an M1 MacBook Pro. For example, it makes the left-hand thumbnail pane whatever size it wants.Ī recent bug is that that attempts to update result in an error.I had an open ticket with Smile for PDFpenPro 13.1 (Mac). I did, but the problem remains.Īnother example of a long-standing bug is that the PDF -> Use Current View Settings as Default has never worked.
#Pdfpenpro 7 upgrade
When I complained on the users' list, the developer suggested that I upgrade my operating system. When Nitro went public on the ASX in late 2019, I recalled then how much our founding vision to make document productivity easy, powerful and available to all would continue to drive us forward in our next chapter. On very long documents (1000 or more pages, I suppose), the entire display area of the window is blank. Today, I’m excited to announce Nitro’s acquisition of PDFpen, the much-loved suite of PDF productivity apps for Mac, iPad and iPhone developed by Smile, Inc. The size of the white band is proportional to the length of the document. This app contains bugs which never get fixed.įor example, there is apparently an error where the size of the display part of the main window is miscalculated so that on long documents a white band appears at the top and grows shorter as you scroll through the document. If you require anything more than the most basic search functionality, you will need to use a different app. If you need to annotate PDFs, there is nothing better than Skim. Version 8.0: Note: PDFpenPro 8 is a paid upgrade unless you purchased on or after January 1, 2016. In other words, it is unlikely Skim's search capabilities are going to get any better. 5G Ultra Wideband just appeared on my iPhone and its the speed Ive always wanted. The developer said Skim was using the search capabilities provided by Apple's PDFKit so if you want improved search, then you should talk to Apple. Garmin Fenix 7 too expensive Check out the super light Suunto 5 Peak instead.
I searched Skim's "Issues" page on GitHub and found that someone had brought this to the developer's attention a few years ago. Save time and secure the best editor for your PDF editing tasks. It immediately found the exact page I needed-where the words "capitalization" and "infinitive" appeared in different parts of the page, about three sentences apart. Dependable and powerful, instantly view, draw, highlight, comment, fill and sign applications or contracts, make corrections, and much more effortlessly on your iPad or iPhone.
I opened the document in Preview and searched for "capital* AND infinitive". produce zero search results And that exhausts the Skim search capabilities. The exact phrases "capital infinitive", "infinitive capital", "infinitive capitalization", "capitalize infinitive", etc. But there is no way to find where it appears anywhere on the same page with some form of "capital". Any search for two or more words will be an exact phrase search. However, as soon as you hit the space bar, you are locked into a search for the exact word you typed. If you type "capital", it will show pages that contain capital, capitals, capitalize, and capitalization.
#Pdfpenpro 7 full
Save time, reduce overhead costs, and expedite transactions with a paperless workflow by scanning documents directly into PDFpenPro and apply high-quality Optical Character Recognition (OCR), including batch OCR, for full searching and editing.
In Skim, you can find where any form of "capital" appears. PDFpenPro is a top-rated affordable, powerful, comprehensive PDF editing toolkit for Mac. And the word "infinitive" also needed to appear anywhere on those pages.
I needed pages that used the words capital, capitals, capitalize or capitalization. The other day I needed to find the title capitalization rules for infinitives. If you need to find a page where two words appear separately, then you are out of luck Search doesn't support wildcards or booleans. Skim is a great app, but it has one significant limitation.
