Frequently Asked Question Posted 06/24/2026

When I try to open a document in a Pane, I see a "Document not set" error, or it won't open in a Pane at all — only in a Tab. Why, and how do I work around it?

This is a known bug in the third-party PDF library MovieSlate uses, and it currently affects everyone on the latest version — it's not something wrong with your setup or your data. It only affects opening a PDF in a Pane; PDFs opened in a Tab are not affected. It has been reported to the library's developers and we're waiting on a fix to fold into a future update.
Recommended workaround:

  • Use Open PDF in Tab instead of Pane. This is the reliable option and works normally.

If you specifically need a Pane, this sometimes works:
  1. Restart the app.
  2. Do not select another Script PDF from the setup screen.
  3. Tap Log+Mark, then the + button, then Open PDF in Pane, and choose your PDF.

This may work some of the time and not others. Also note: in a future update, if you hit the "Document not set" error, tapping the + button again will automatically close the empty pane (previously you had to restart the app to clear it).
