eDocPrintPro 5.8.7 / GhostScript 10.07.1

What’s New in Version 5.8.7:

  • eDocPrintPro Version 5.8.7 uses GhostScript Version 10.07.1
  • Controlling Access Permissions for the Output File – A registry key can be used to specify which permissions are assigned to the output file. Either the additional permissions “Everyone” and “Authenticated Users”—which is the default set by the setup after installing the driver—are assigned, or only the basic permissions “SYSTEM,” “Users,” and “Administrators” are assigned.

Registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MAYComputer\eDocPrintPro\<printer-name>]
“SkipFilePermissions”=dword:value

value = 0 – as before; additionally, ‘Everyone’ and “Authenticated Users” are added.
value = 1 – new – no additional permissions are added.

Using Variables for the Output File Path – Maximum Path Length in MS Windows

Almost all of our applications allow you to configure the output path and filename using variables. For example, information from the document (text, barcode, QR code) can be extracted and used via these variables. However, an output file that exceeds the maximum path length may not be processed. MS Windows allows you to use a registry key to extend the default path length from 260 characters to up to 32,767 characters. Important: Individual path components (such as a single folder or file name) must still be no longer than 255 characters.

  • Press the Windows key + R, type regedit, and press Enter.
  • Navigate to the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem
  • On the right-hand side, locate the entry LongPathsEnabled.
    • If it does not exist: Right-click in the empty area, select “New” > “DWORD (32-bit) Value,” and name it LongPathsEnabled.
  • Double-click LongPathsEnabled and change the value from 0 to 1.
  • Restart the computer.

FileConverterPro (FCpro) 1.16.2

New Features in FileConverterPro:

  • Email (MSG, EML) – Automatic line breaks for the subject line: If the subject text in the header on the first page of the generated PDF extends beyond the page width, the text will no longer be truncated as before, but will instead be automatically wrapped.
  • Email (MSG, EML) – Automatic scaling of images embedded in HTML: Previously, images embedded in the HTML body that were too large for the PDF page were cropped. With the new version, images embedded in the HTML are analyzed, and if any of these images are too large for the PDF page format, they are scaled proportionally so they can be displayed in their entirety within the PDF.

Option to control how the image should be processed:

    • Keep image size
    • Reduce image size
    • Enlarge page

  • REST with Base64 encoding:

Uploading the contents of a Base64-encoded input file:

Function name: “UploadJobBase64”
Function type: “PUT”
Request format: JSON
Additional header “Content-Type”, “text/json”

Parameter “ext”: the input file extension without a period
Parameter “settingsname”: the name of the processing profile
Parameter “maxPage”: the maximum number of pages in the input document
Parameter “outExts”: the list of output file extensions
Parameter “label”: the job name
Parameter “priority”: the upload priority

JSON should have the following format: {“value”: “Base64 text data”}

Download – Download the Base64-encoded output file:

Function name: “GetResultBase64”
Function type: “GET”
Request format: JSON

“jobID” parameter: the job ID
“index” parameter: -1 for the input file, 0 for the output file
“removeFile” parameter: “true” if the file should be deleted after downloading

JSON response content: {‘GetResultBase64Result’: “Base64 text data”}

The “FileConverterPro REST Sample” includes RestHelper source code that demonstrates the correct REST calls, including the new Base64 encoding functions.

To use the new Base64 encoding functions in the FCpro REST test application, the following checkbox should be selected:

  • Configuration via user interface.
  • The selected functions, their parameters, and processing are managed via profiles.
  • Profile functions: New, Copy, Delete, Rename, Export to file, Import from file.
  • Logging.

 

Additional options – in addition to the basic PDF conversion function:

  • PDF/A – for an ISO-standardized archive/output format
  • OCR – Make PDFs, scans, and images searchable
  • PDFCompressor – Compress and reduce the size of PDFs, including MRC compression
  • PDFSecureSign – Encrypt, protect, and sign PDFs

FileConverterPro-FM – FCpro Features with Folder Monitoring

In addition to the existing FCpro version with REST/SOAP interface, there is now FileConverterPro-FM (FCpro-FM). FCpro-FM offers the same features as FCpro, but in the form of a single application that includes folder monitoring. FCpro is installed as a service on a Windows computer and monitors input folders. Any new file added to a monitored folder is automatically converted to PDF or PDF(A).

FileConverterPro-FM (FCpro-FM) – Folder Monitoring

  • FCpro features for converting files to PDF or PDF/A.
  • MS Windows Service
  • Multiple jobs can be created to monitor multiple input folders.
  • Multithreading / parallel processing ensures high processing throughput
  • Configuration of processing steps via profiles (New, Copy, Edit, Delete, Export, Import)
  • Only the root folder or the entire subfolder structure can be processed.
  • Folder contents can be deleted after processing, or the folder structure can be preserved.
  • The folder structure from the input folder can also be copied to the destination folder.
  • File processing via filters—name, extension, created by/on, modified by/on.
  • Sorted processing by name or date, as well as in ascending or descending order, is possible.
  • Generation of a new filename using variables (date, time, counter, original name/extension)
  • Deleting the original file (moving), copying, or creating an archive copy
  • Folder monitoring and processing start via file system events—immediately, with a configurable delay (0–999 sec.), or at set time intervals (in min.)
  • Start processing at a specified date/time with optional daily or weekly repetition.
  • Adjustable number of retry attempts or time interval if a file is blocked.
  • Logging (all events, or only error events)

Additional options – in addition to PDF conversion as the basic function:

  • PDF/A – for an ISO-standardized archive/output format
  • OCR – make PDFs, scans, and images searchable
  • PDFCompressor – compress and reduce the size of PDFs, including MRC compression
  • PDFSecureSign – encrypt, protect, and sign PDFs

PAM (Product Activation Manager) – Transferring a licence to a new computer

Transferring an existing licence to a new computer:

1.) Installing the application on the new computer: When installing the application on a new computer on which the software has never been installed before, a 30-day trial licence can be automatically retrieved from our licence server via the setup (with an active internet connection). This gives you enough time to transfer the licence from the old computer to the new one. If possible, the same software version should be installed on the new computer as on the old computer. Also make sure that the app IDs of the applications are the same on the old and new computers. If the app IDs are not the same, different software versions may have been installed. App IDs also change from time to time, even for the same application.

2.) Test the functions on the new computer before switching to live operation or transferring the licence to the new computer.

Important: Customers with active software maintenance can always download, install and use the latest software versions. Customers without maintenance can only install and use the version that was current at the time of purchase or expiry of the software maintenance. For this reason, it is advisable to keep the setup of the version purchased so that it can also be installed on the new computer.

3.) Existing licence must have ‘Valid’ status: The licence on the old computer must have ‘Valid’ status, otherwise the licence cannot be transferred to the new computer. If the licence has the status ‘Dirty’, it can be restored to the status “Valid” using the PAM function ‘Reactivate Application’ after entering the user ID/password of your PAM account. The licence can only be transferred to a new computer if the status of the licence is ‘Valid’.

4.) Return existing licence to the licence server using ‘Move Licence’: In order to be able to retrieve the licence on the new computer, the licence must be “returned” to the licence server on the existing computer using the PAM function ‘Move Licence’ so that it can then be retrieved on the new computer using ‘Activate Application’.

If ‘Move Licence’ is executed on the old computer, not only does the licence “disappear” from PAM, but so does the App ID. This also happens if the ‘Remove Application’ function is used. In this case, to get the App ID displayed in PAM again, the application must be uninstalled and reinstalled.

Caution: Do not use the ‘Remove Licence’ function located to the left of it in PAM. ‘Remove Licence’ also removes the licence and it ‘disappears’ from the PAM list. However, the licence can then only be retrieved on this old computer with ‘Activate Application’, but not on a new computer. If you have mistakenly used the ‘Remove Licence’ function, you can immediately retrieve the licence on the computer again with ‘Activate Application’ and then use the correct function ‘Move Licence’. If you have several licences that have not yet been retrieved and a licence has been deleted with ‘Remove Licence’ and is to be retrieved again on this computer, select the licence with the preceding (+) from the list. The (+) sign indicates that this licence is already assigned to the computer and therefore no other licence should be selected from the list.

5.) Retrieve the returned licence on the new computer with ‘Activate Application’: After the licence has been returned from the old computer to our licence server with ‘Move Licence’, this free licence can be retrieved again on the new computer with ‘Activate Application’. Make sure that the same App ID is displayed in the left-hand list in PAM and that you have selected it before using the ‘Activate Application’ function.

6.) Checking and archiving licence data: Additional licence options may also be associated with the licence. e.g.: PDF/A, PDFSign, PDFCompressor, etc. Therefore, check the scope of your licence with the PAM function ‘Licence details’ to ensure that all options of your licence are available. You should also save and archive the licence information as a TXT file using the PAM function ‘Save as text’.
