2026-03-11 at 11:14 in reply to: Use a PDF24 profile when printing from a Windows service (SYSTEM) #64262Stefan ZieglerKeymasterCopy the profile from the HKCU part of the registry to the corresponding HKLM area. This makes the profile visible to all users and even to services.
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterOh, a lot, really a lot, most of them simply use PDF24 without notifying us, because they don't have to. Number of downloads is growing and growing. Many companies have switched entirely or partially to PDF24 because it is free, has a lot of features, gets updates and new features continuously and has a long track record. You won't find an official list of companies that use PDF24. We don't maintain such a list, nor do we intend to boast about it. If you like PDF24, simply use it, if you have issue, tell us, will be fixed in most cases, if you have doubts using PDF24, tell us, ...
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterStrange, actually Windows should bring the app window back to the first screen. Try to connect the second screen, then open pdf24 reader, move the window back to the first screen and close pdf24 reader there. this should actually help. If not, try to delete the following path in the registry via regedit:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PDF24\PDF24 Reader\Persistent_Options
This stores the position of pdf24 reader on screen. Restauration on next start will not be performed if this key is deleted.
2026-03-02 at 08:11 in reply to: Printing to PDF24 alternates between Assistant and automatic saving #64249Stefan ZieglerKeymasterThis sounds strange, are there any more clues or a pattern as to when exactly this happens? Actually it is not a good advice to configure the default PDF printer named PDF24 for automatic saving. It's better to add a new custom PDF printer which you can configure for automatic saving. Does it fix the problem?
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterHi, I'll check that and if there is an issue with the electronic signature feature, it will be fixed with the next version of the software.
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterPlease send screenshots to forum@pdf24.org so that I can see your UI.
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterYes, this feature request is on our to-do list, but I cannot yet say when this feature will be implemented.
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterIf you the app is still open, then you can find the saved files here:
%LOCALAPPDATA%/TEMP/PDF24It the toolbox is already closed, then all temporary files are deleted.
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterActually the save button just starts the saving process, takes a few seconds and the status is displayed in the output box. The output box has a button, where you can save the newly created file to disk. Older version just had the save icon and after the new file is created, a file chooser dialog pops up forcing you to select a file name that is used to persist the file too disk. So, I actually do not know exactly what you have done, but just hitting the save icon does not overwrite the old file, you actually have to interact with the file chooser....
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterOur downloadable/desktop version is PDF24 Creator.
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterPlease send me me such a PDF file and screenshots so that I can see what and where you have added text. I'll then try to reproduce this issue so that I can investigate further.
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterThank you, the print flag is now controllable in the UI.
Please report any further issues. The tool is quite new. We've added a few things in the last few days that some users brought to our attention. Nevertheless, the current version is quite usable and will help many people.
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterThis is now possible. PDF24 has a special tool that, a PDF form editor, that enables users to edit PDF forms, add and remove form fields and to make PDFs fillable.

Stefan ZieglerKeymasterYes, this is now possible. PDF24 has a special tool that, a PDF form editor, that enables users to edit PDF forms, add and remove form fields and to make PDFs fillable.
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterInstall the latest version of PDF24 Creator. Right-click a page and within the context menu, choose the item to insert a blank page. Blank pages can be insert before or after the page.
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterPDF24 Reader has such a feature. PDF24 Reader is part of the free PDF24 Creator.
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterThis is not currently possible. There is currently only this one template.
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterRight-Click the highlightend text and then use the option from the context menu.
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterActually it should. Currently you can not control the scaling during the print process. This feature is still on our TODO list. Internally, the app automatically scales so that the document fits the actual page bounds. This means the app scales up or down, depending what the printer signals. You could check the selected paper in printer settings, maybe you have selected w wrong one.
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterSome PDF24 tools can handle HEIC files directly. If this is not possible, you can convert HEIC files to JPG files and then use the converted files. The linked converter is a PDF24 online tool and is also free and usable without registration. So, if you can't use HEIC files directly, convert them to JPG and then use the JPG files. That should work in most cases.
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterIf you make set the opacity of the whole shape to 0 % then nothing will be visible. You should change the opacity of the stroke color and/or the fill color. Both colors (stroke, fill) can have it's own opacity value.
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterYes, the border of the shape is stroked, so you can set a stroke color and the stroke color can have a different opacity.
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterFonts should be installed in Windows. PDF24 reads installed fonts and provides them in the selection box.
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterIf you install current versions of PDF24, then all these mentioned functions should be available. Are you sure, that you have installed a recent PDF24 Creator version?
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterI think the /page switch is currently only used for printing.
Stefan ZieglerKeymasterVersionĀ 11.29.0 should actually fix your issue. Have you tried this version?
