Pdf editor does not show edit text button

Desktop editors
1

Hello,

I am a student and I have a strong interest in OnlyOffice. I attempted to compile OnlyOffice on Windows, and after the compilation was completed, I opened a PDF file. However, when I clicked the “Edit PDF” button, the “Edit Text” button did not appear.

Could there be an error in my compilation?

I look forward to your response. Thank you!

Hello @Constantine

Thank you for your response.

windows 10 Install <Python 3> <Visual Studio Community 2019 Windows 10 SDK, version 2004 (10.0.19041.0)> <Qt 5.15.2 MSVC 2019 64-bit>

  1. git clone GitHub - ONLYOFFICE/build_tools: Used to build ONLYOFFICE DocumentServer-related products
  2. python configure.py --module desktop --update 1 --qt-dir C:\Qt\5.15.2 --vs-version 2019 --sdkjs-addon=sdkjs-forms, sdkjs-ooxml
  3. python make.py

After completing the compilation, I discovered that I was unable to edit the text when I opened the PDF file. I identified an issue: If I replace the officially compiled sdkjs, I can edit the PDF text without any problems. I suspect this is due to the missing sdkjs-ooxml library, but I am having difficulty locating it. Could you please help me find it?

Could you please elaborate on this? What exactly means "replace? Please share the sequence of actions that you are describing step by step. for better understanding.

I’m sorry. What I mean is that after I installed the officially compiled DesktopEditors_x64.exe installation package, I found the “editor\ssdkjs” directory in the installation directory, copied it to the directory I compiled myself, and then I could edit PDF text normally.
I suspect this is due to the missing sdkjs-ooxml library. （I can find the sdkjs-forms repository on GitHub but not the sdkjs-ooxml repository.) but I am having difficulty locating it. Could you please help me find it?
