Re: scanned background, change to white?

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 ...

Re: Training Courses?

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 ...

Re: SoftMaker User Forum is broken

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 ...

Re: Planmaker xlsx files not recognized as proper excel when importing into other software

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

Re: A fifth product, datamaker

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 ...

Re: Text rotation...

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

Re: Funzione Raggruppa immagini

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

Re: space between words

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

Re: Troubleshooting: cursor won't highlight when I click and scroll

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 ...

Re: Document protection

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 ...

Re: Odd/Even page headers and footers

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

Re: Feature Request: New Paste Special

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 ...

Re: Joining PDFs created with a non-duplex ADF with odd and even numbered pages alternatingly

While this function is not yet included in FlexiPDF, I use a workaround: the scanner output should not be two large files, but rather one file for each page. I then use a file renaming tool to add initial numbering to the file names. For the odd files, I start with 01 and add two for the following ...
