https://en.pdf24.org/pdf-creator-changelog.html      PDF24 Creator Changelog        Version 10.0.8
(22.01.2021)
Toolbox saves last window placement
The toolbox now saves the last used window size and position on the screen. This way, the user can better adapt the application to the hardware he is using. Especially with large screens, some users do not want a maximized display.

Tray icon Open action improved
The tray icon can be used to open the PDF24 via the icon context menu or via a double-click. This behavior has been improved. If the toolbox is activated, then the toolbox is opened. If the Toolbox is not activated, then the older launcher is opened instead.

Some brush types disabled for tools in the toolbox
For the Edit, Blacken and Annotate tools in the Toolbox, we have disabled some brush types because they do not run correctly in the offline version. Here we need to see how to switch these brush types so that they also work in the offline version.

Importing signatures into the signing tool improved
Signatures that are available as images can be imported into the tool. With large images there were problems with the display, so it was difficult to import them. Here we have improved so that this is now easier.

More functions can be deactivated in the toolbox
More instructions have been added in the Toolbox to disable some tools there. This can be done via the Windows Registry. The registry entries have the following form: feature.toolbox.[blacken | ...] = [0 | 1] (DWORD). For example, if you want to disable the blacken tool, then set feature.toolbox.blacken = 0.

Language files updated
Problem with updater fixed
The updater did not evaluate an instruction correctly, which caused problems with the detection of updates. This problem has been fixed in this version.

Reader cannot overwrite currently opened file
In Reader we have built in a protection so that the currently opened file cannot be overwritten. If you wanted to do this in older versions, then there were problems with saving and the newly saved file was empty.

Filter options in the toolbox have made disabled tools visible
In the toolbox, there are several filters that the user can use to display tools. One of the filters is the one for recently used tools. Furthermore, there is the possibility to deactivate certain functions throughout the program, e.g. if they should not be available in a company. However, the use of the filters caused that these deactivated functions were made visible. This problem is now fixed.        https://tools.pdf24.org/en/creator  PDF24 Creator 10.0.8 Download :  For Windows 10 only

PDF24 Creator Changelog        Version 10.0.11
(19.02.2021)
Fixed problems with UTF8 character encoding on some systems

Some systems had problems with the UTF8 character encoding. In the toolbox for instance some umlauts were not displayed correctly. This did not affect all systems. We investigated and fixed the problem.
Fixed problem converting images to PDF

A problem with the "Images to PDF" function and the newly introduced embedding of JPG files without recoding has been fixed. If an image file has a .jpg extension and the image is not actually a JPG image, then direct embedding failed with a blank page. We are now using a different technique to identify JPG images so that images with incorrect file extensions will work correctly again.
In the settings area you can now configure the "Images to PDF" function

The "Images to PDF" block has been added to the settings area, where you can make some settings that the "Image to PDF" function uses. Before you could only do this directly via the Windows registry. It's more comfortable that way.

PDF24 Creator 10.0.12  (New) Released :   https://en.pdf24.org/pdf-creator-changelog.html        PDF24 Creator Changelog          Version 10.0.12
(25.03.2021)
Option trayIcon.openLauncher added
With the DWORD option trayIcon.openLauncher = [0|1] you can force to open the launcher instead of the toolbox via the tray icon.

Option toolbox.showScriptErrors added
With the DWORD option toolbox.showScriptErrors = [0|1] you can force to hide script errors. Script errors are usually displayed, but sometimes they will not malfunction when they occur. This then gives you an option not to display them when they occur.

Start service note + server per user option
If the server per user option is activated, then it makes no sense to display the start service message. That has now been corrected.  :  https://tools.pdf24.org/en/creator        Download    The PDF24 Creator is free of charge for both private and commercial purposes.  :

PDF24 Creator 10.2.0  (New) https://en.pdf24.org/pdf-creator-changelog.html              PDF24 Creator Changelog
v10.2.0

Feature Improvement Bugfix
Version 10.2.0
(15.09.2021)
Windows file preview for PDF files
This version brings a new component for Windows that provides a file preview for PDF files. Many users have requested this feature because they do not want to install additional software for it. We have implemented the file preview based on PDF24 Reader, which we already like very much in the current first version. The preview is fast and requires relatively few resources. It works in Windows Explorer and also in Outlook.

Reader: Optimized UI startup
We have also optimized PDF24 Reader to load only the UI elements that are visible and needed in the current view. This saves resources and leads to a faster start of the UI.

Reader: Bookmarks area improved
The bookmark tree is now loaded on demand and also only the elements that are needed, which speeds up loading PDFs with large bookmark trees and reduces memory consumption. We have quite a large test file which now loads much faster with the new PDF24 Reader than before and it uses much less memory.

Also a slightly larger indentation is used for child elements in the page tree, so that the structure is better visible.

The root element or the first entry in the root element is now also only opened if there is only one child element. If the root element has multiple children, then they remain closed. In the end, this has to do with how the page tree was created.

Reader: Fixed a bug with double-click word selection
By double-clicking on a word in the page, it can be selected. In a certain constellation there was a problem in the old Reader, which has now been fixed.

PDF24 Creator 10.3.0  (new)  Released: https://www.neowin.net/news/pdf24-creator-1030/    PDF24 Creator 10.3.0

Razvan Serea · Sep 27, 2021 08:04 EDT        PDF24 PDF Creator installs a virtual printer driver that allows you to convert any printable document or image into PDF format. You can also import documents from your scanner, combine multiple documents into one and delete selected pages from existing PDF files. The program supports creation of secure, digitally signed documents, PDF quality settings, integrated preview, emailing, and more.

You can either drag'n drop documents onto the GUI or convert them from any other program by using the virtual printer driver - simply select the PDF24 printer instead of your regular paper printer.

Advantages of PDF24 PDF Creator:

    Once installed, create PDF files forever
    Free upgrades included
    Conversion is simple and possible from all current programs
    Freeware
    Create PDF files from almost any application
    Easy to use
    Multilingual

Several features of PDF24 PDF Creator:

    Merge and split PDF
    Extract pages from a PDF
    Copy pages from one PDF to another PDF
    Integrated preview for easy PDF editing
    Secure a PDF (Prevent from unauthorised opening, printing, etc.)
    Set PDF information such as author and title

PDF24 Creator 10.3.0 changelog:

Problem with password input fields in Windows preview fixed

    In the PDF preview in Windows Explorer, password input fields were opened behind the Explorer window, so you didn't see this input field. We have improved this and the problem should be solved.

Focus problem in PDF24 Reader fixed

    When opening a PDF file normally in PDF24 Reader, the focus was no longer set to the newly opened PDF file, so you had to click in the viewport to make hotkeys work. This problem has been fixed.

Improved console mode of pdf24-Ocr.exe and pdf24-DocTool.exe

    When using pdf24-Ocr.exe and pdf24-DocTool.exe on the console, there were still problems with the prompt not being displayed correctly in the console after the execution was finished. Here we have also improved. We now send a VK_RETURN to the parent console to display the prompt after the process has ended.

Placeholder $fileDir available on auto-save

    The function for automatic saving at the PDF printer has now received the placeholder $fileDir. This placeholder stores the directory of the printed file. The name was already present before, but the directory was not. The directory stored in $fileDir is only present or not empty if this directory is also present in the print job name. If the print job name is the full path to a file, then the directory is available and stored in $fileDir.

Open PDF files in the same Reader instance

    In this version, PDF24 Reader has been extended and the function that multiple PDF files can be opened in the same instance has been added. This function has been requested by some users. Whenever multiple files are open in a reader, a tab bar is displayed, which can be used to switch between the files. Using the context menu of a tab, you can then open this file again in another instance if you want.
