more than 70% free functions for basic tasks without any ads, the software is really great, can edit text without watermark, if you just need basic viewing and editing then it wins For you, advanced functions need to purchase a license.

The download links should be changed. It seems that pdf-xchange.com doesn't offer portable version downloads now. They are available on https://pdf-xchange.eu/DL/pdf-xchange-editor.htm

@portablesw1123: Seems like they still do, under the dropdown at the download page?

Sizer v4.0 New

Midas on 7 Jan 2025
  • 228KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 16 Apr 2020
  • Suggested by Midas

Sizer is a freeware utility that allows you to resize any window to an exact, predefined size. This is extremely useful when designing web pages, as it allows you to see how the page will look when viewed at a smaller size. The utility is also handy when compiling screen-shots for documentation, using Sizer allows you to easily maintain the same window size across screen grabs.

Sizer 4.0 has been completely rewritten to improve compatibility with modern applications including Windows 10 Apps. Sizer 4.0 is less intrusive than previous versions and therefore is more stable. Unfortunately this increased stability comes at a small price, some infrequently used features have been removed as a result.

Note: Further feature info and previous 32-bit Sizer v3.32 still available from https://www.brianapps.net/sizer/.

  • You can also subdivide registered items on the pages by creating the submenus.
  • The page-specific design setting and overlay icon display make it easy to identify the target page and item.
  • It can be used for portable by relative path specification.

I have version 3.41 and use it occationally.

@infestedtassadar-x17;
I found this in the Help file:
"All versions of iDailyDiary have always encrypted the diary data files, whether they are password protected or not. From version 3.00 the encryption has been improved to a 128bit Blowfish cipher."

If you need a formless text editor with strong encryption, please try CryptoTE 0.5.390.

A few operational changes in v1.10.0 I've noticed:

Loads more quickly (my perception)
It does Booklet correctly.
Split pages works easier.
New feature: Merge Pages (onto the same sheet)!

Cornflower on 2024-01-11 05:11

This note on the download page:

(As the Windows binaries of version 1.10.0 are supplied with Python 3.10, they are not released with 1.10.1. Windows users should keep using version 1.10.0)
