PDFING
NEWSLETTER NO 24 - September 2013
Thank you for continuing to support
PDFing.
After a long wait, we are pleased to announce the official
release of PDFing
version 5, which you may download from: http://www.pdfing.com/down/pdfing5setup.msi
PDFing v5
will install over your copy of PDFing v3 / v4 and it will
preserve
your existing configuration and license-keys. Because the "Queue" files
will be re-organized to make PDFing v5 less
vulnerable to anti-virus software, you cannot reinstall v4 unless you first delete
the \PDFing\Queue directory and all its sub-directories. Therefore,
before installing v5, you
should make a backup copy of both the existing \PDFing\Queue and the
\PDFing\Markup directories. Please read the upgrade notes at: http://www.pdfing.com/v5upgrade.html
PDFing v5 has the following new features::
- SSL/TSL connection to
SMTP servers.
- Connection to two SMTP
servers and the ability to select a
particular server for an email.
- Faster emailing on most
SMTP servers.
- Hard copy printing now
runs in a separate thread.
- Extra controls for hard
copy printing parameters.
- Conversion to Excel
2007 (.xlsx) files. (NT service only)
- Conversion to PDF/A
(1-b) standard files. (NT service only)
- Can use PDF files as
"overlays".
- Can attach additional
file(s) of any kind to email.
- Application of font
changes and graphic images can be
conditioned by the text in spooled-file pages.
- Support for bar-code
font (code 39 and code 128) check-sums
on [Font] pages. (NT service only)
We
have also improved the ease of use, speed and the appearance of PDFing. Please see our web-page
new
features of PDFing V5
for more detail. We
regret the fact that much of our documentation needs updating, this is
something that will be rectified in the next month or two. Meanwhile,
you can contact us at: support@pdfing.com and we will be very pleased to help you
Please note that, if
all your license-keys were issued before 8th February
2011, PDFing v5 will only work in "un-licensed"
mode. Please
do
not proceed with installation unless you have an upgrade, or

Service license-key issued on or after 8th February
2011.
You
should apply your Upgrade or NT Service license-key before v5
installation or as soon as the installation is complete. See http://www.pdfing.com/slicense.html

license-codes were issued before 18th
