PDFING NEWSLETTER NO 8 - 12th November 2002
======================================

First,  thanks to all who have sent us feedback and suggestions over the past year. Most of your suggestions have now been included in the latest beta version (2.2) which we hope will prove as successful and reliable as the current version (v2.1). 
  
Version V2.2 (beta) of PDFing is now available at: http://www.pdfing.com/Down/beta.html please see http://www.pdfing.com/Down/v22changes.html for a list of the new features. Before you download the beta, please note that if you registered PDFing before 1st October 2001 you will need to renew your existing licence(s) at a cost of 99.00USD to continue to receive upgrades and premium support for a further 12 months. See http://www.pdfing.com/Available.html#Upgrade for details. 

Although we are confident about the reliability of the beta version, I suggest you do not replace your existing version just yet. Either install it in a separate folder or on another PC. We hope you will keep us up to date with your progress on beta testing, we are also very interested in any ideas for improving our product.

This version can convert "un-transformed" spooled-files to Microsoft Excel spreadsheet files. This uses an "embedded" language called LuaSheet. You can find out more about this at:
http://www.pdfing.com/luasheet We are still finalising the user-development environment and documentation so, at the moment,  we will to write the necessary LuaSheet scripts for you. Please contact us if you have spooled-files you need converting to Excel. 

The LuaSheet language will also allow you to develop scripts that can analyse the text of incoming spooled-files and set the required processing parameters.

Regards
