A sample document would be helpful. If the document contains private information you might replace the text with something harmless and retain the document structure.

Are you talking about apostrophes or about quotation marks? If your problem is that quotation marks are looking like „this“, go to Tools > Options, Tab “General”, click “Auto correction...” and set “Smart quotes” to your language, “Auto” or “None”.

Hi, the file you attached is a jpg file, not a pdf. It can be opened in FlexiPDF though and it can be part of a PDF, but basically it is an image file. As FlexiPDF is not a graphics programme, you can't do image processing in FlexiPDF itself. When you choose the Object tool, then select the image ...

I must admit that I am generally more at ease with a written manual than with video courses. That said, when I gave TextMaker a first try more than twenty years ago, I sat down for one weekend and went through the manual from start to finish. Afterwards, I had mastered the programme, not only the ...

You are not alone. I am working with Firefox 144.0.2 on a Mac and have been unable to get access to the forum using Firefox for the last ten days or so. I have already reported the issue in the German forum. Every time I try to log in, I get a timeout error message. The funny thing is that the Login ...

Sorry, I couldn't reproduce the issue anymore. Seems to have been a defect of one specific file, not a general problem with PlanMaker.

Same problem here.

That's the point. It is already something of a miracle that such a small firm (IIRC they have less than 50 employees) is able to develop such premium office software as they do and compete with Microsoft. Years ago there was a database app called Datamaker to complete the office suite; but SoftMaker ...

This is only possible when you use TextArt (Insert > TextArt Object).

Prima di selezionare le immagini, passa alla modalità Oggetto. In questo modo funzionerà.

Does this only happen in TextMaker? Are you sure that the space key on your keyboard is working properly?

I'm not quite sure what you're doing exactly. When I want to select text, I set the cursor at the beginning of the intended text block, press the mouse button, keep it pressed and draw the mouse to the end of the text block. When I click into the text and scroll, nothing happens, but that's normal ...

An idea that is not 100% safe, but relatively easy to handle: If you put a note in front of every (read-only) PDF which says: ‘This PDF was licensed for XY [name + email address + date]’, you don't prevent it from being passed on to individual friends, but you do create a fairly high psychological ...

In TextMaker, this is a piece of cake. Choose "Different left and right pages“ in Format > Chapter, then go to Insert > Header, and you will find all you need in the "Header and Footer" bar at the bottom of the page: Bildschirmfoto 2025-06-30 um 12.41.38.png
NB: This is only the quick menu, there ...

Even if this feature is missing, there is no need to change each quote mark separately. An opening quote mark is usually always preceded by a space or a praragraph mark. So you can use the replace function in TextMaker instead:

1st pass: replace Space" with Space“
2nd pass: replace Paragraph mark ...
