Paintshop Pro 8x multi pages

[susieq29]

When I open a pdf file of multiple pages. It tells me it is downloading but it only shows first page?

Please see http://forum.corel.com/EN/viewtopic.php ... 60#p294960 -- though as you will see, there seems some confusion as to an answer to your question.

The issue is somewhat complicated as shown in the following thread where it was discussed in depth and thoroughly tested:

Briefly, Simone at Corel UK confirmed (but didn't explain why) that 64 bit versions of PSP is "limited" in its ability to open PDF multi-page files, but the 32 bit versions don't have that limitation.

Second, 32 bit versions of PSP (through X9 also) will open many multi-page PDF files quite well. However (you can read the extensive testing that was done at the above link) there seems to be problems with opening all pages with some PDF files that have been created and/or edited in programs other than Adobe Acrobat. In other words, the evidence seems to indicate that PERHAPS, if the program used to create, edit, save/export/compile to PDF does not follow strict Acrobat coding standards, then PSP 32 bit versions can have issues opening more than the first page.

Reading the above link will provide much more in-depth info about how the issue was tested and the various results people using various different PDF creators have had.

Joe -- thanks for finding that thread! I knew I had participated in a thread on this subject, but the ever helpful (NOT!!) Board Advanced Search only turned up the thread I provided a link for above -- even though I used "open multi-page PDF" as the search target!!
