Improvements
- Ability to add pages before and after the actual document
- Background pages can now be applied with different modes, i.e. first page of
the background on the first page, the second page on all other pages - Drag & Drop: When printable files are dragged to a PDFCreator window,
they are automatically printed to the PDFCreator printer - While leaving the settings wind the settings are now checked for problems
- Application Icon in 256x256 resolution
- Reworked post processing of PDFs. All processing steps (background, signing
etc) are now done in one go, resulting in faster conversion - Stamps and Background page can be configured to be applied to first, last or
all pages
Bugs fixed
- The stamping font was not always used properly, when the name was different
from the PostScript name of the font. - Temp files were not always released and remained in the temp folder for some
time - Synchronization problem with auto-save. The job result was evaluated in some
circumstances for it was finished, which was displayed as error - Under some circumstances, the output files may have been saved in the wrong
folder while trying to find a unique filename - The PDFCreator printing window was placed below other windows when the main
window was shown already - The default title replacement settings had doc before docx, which caused an
'x' to appear at the end of titles for docx documents
Known issues
- We have seen problems with opening a mail client from PDFCreator with
Windows 8 and Thunderbird. The MAPI32.dll method just fails. This disappears
when the Log level is set to Debug, without observable reason.
Still missing
- COM interface to automate PDFCreator (work on that has started)
- A way to manage pending print jobs (will start after the release)
