cropping or saving zoom of pdf chord files

tntent02

Doesnt appear to be anyway to save the zoom state (or crop) of my pdf file for playback from my playlist. I know there is a margin only crop from the pdf edit window but this only crops the margin. Cropping the entire pdf would allow to show the needed lyrics and chords only. Ideally the ability to save the pinch to zoom state also that is displayed in the playback mode as this would allow for portrait or landscape differences easily. my personal use case tends to be multitrack playback from landscape with pdf chord charts displayed. currently lots of wasted screen space unless I zoom in while already playing.

Currently the best bet would be to reformat your pdfs so that they display the information in the way you need it. Stage Traxx only tries to fit either the width or the height of the pdf on the screen. In most cases this should work fine together with the crops margin feature.

Respectfully Peter, I have literally thousands of pdf chord charts that would have to be formatted outside the program to maximize screen real estate inside the program, for which you wont be able to tell how it is displayed other than trial and error. Typical Chord Charts will include lots of information not needed for the performance such as Artist, time sig, bpm etc. They usually include a header and a footer also. This is the reason most chord chart software includes a full moveable crop function and even the ability to delete a page entirely and rearrange them. Im sure there are others whom are using pdfs would agree. Those using the other Chord pro format wont care. Here is an attachment of my Ipad pro and you can see how much wasted space is there after the margin cropping...
