EMail Archiver for FileConverterPro – Version 4.0.7

2015-10-20

New features in version 4.0.7:

The file name for archiving / conversion of messages / attachments may be separately and independently configured for the folder of sent messages, as well as all other folders. Because the own email address can not be read from the sent email message, there is an option using the the% FROM% variable can be preassigned for the messages you send.

Customize User Interface – Using the configuration, it is now also possible to disable functions and buttons so that they are no longer displayed on the User Interface. This allows that emails and attachments are limited only converted to PDF, but can not be archived.

Profiles for PDF export settings – PDFExport Einstellungen provide plenty of additional functions, which can be applied to the generated PDFs. All settings can be managed via profiles and then saved, selected and activated as an entirety. Profiles can be created, copied, renamed, deleted, and imported and exported.

PDFExport Settings – Many additional functions for PDF documents

2015-10-15

There are many additional functions that can be applied to PDF’s. To use this again and again in all of our applications in the same fashion, we have summarized the functionality in a separate component. This we use in all our applications – FileConverterPro, Email Archiver, PDFMerge etc.

The advantage is that additions and corrections need to be made in only one place and all new applications can be expanded quickly and easily with these functions.

PDFExport functions:

Fill in PDF Info fields

document representation – Open Mode

PDF Password set (open, system)
PDF function restrictions

numbered pages

Stationery function – PDF underlay / overlay

numbered bookmarks

Create a cover page and insert with stationery

create table of contents from bookmarks incl. Editor and Stationery

Define and apply watermarks & stamps

For all these functions, a separate editor is available to save all settings as “profiles”. These can then be selected and loaded by name. The PDF export settings are stored in a * .gfi (XML) file. However, there are also external PDF, DOC, DOCX files (eg for the stationery or the cover sheets). These settings will be referenced in the PDFExport. In the GFI file only the path is saved to these files.

To transfer the complete information of the PDF export settings, including the required external files from one application to another or from the client to the server, we use a ZIP container.

The ZIP container contains the GFI file and in the subdirectory – $ gfi_components $ – all external files referenced in the GFI file.

To convert a document using the File Converter Pro Server, including individual PDFExport settings it is necessary to transfer this information from client to server FCPro. This is done via a zip file which contains both the GFI and all related files in the $ gfi_components $ subfolder along with the file to be converted.

Folder/subfolder-processing – With this all files inside the input-folder defined by the /in= parameter will be processed and stored in the output-folder defined by the /out= parameter. With the additional parameter /subfolder also subfolder-structures can be processed. Inside the output-folder the structure of the input-folder is rebuilt 1:1 exactly the same.
Displaying and saving of the FCpro – profiles – via /showprofile all profiles available on the FCpro server get read, saved in an ASCII file and displayed. This is to prevent false inputs when using the wanted profile-names in the command-line.
Error-folder – via /err= a individual error-folder can be passed. In case of an error the file is moved to this folder. If the parameter isn’t set the configured standard folder will be used.
Option – protocol all commandline requests – This function can be helpful with the analysis of programmatical commandline calls. With it all parameters passed via commandline will be protocolled inside the log-file
Option – configuration of the amount of threads for the upload to the FCpro Server – default = 5
Posibility to preset or spread the configuration-settings (XML file) – C:\ProgramData\FileConverterPro-CL\FCpro-CLSettings.xml

FileConverterPro – Java & JavaScipt – REST library

2015-02-11

To use the FileConverterPro Server with Java or JavaScript, we offer an “all-in-one” version of a client-JAR, which already implements all necessary external libraries. Therefor for the usage only an installed Java 8 is required.

The JavaScript-file example.js shows the usage of this JAR with JavaScript and is an extensive Sample which illustrates the most common use-cases.

The Script can be used with Java 8 like this:

$ jjs -cp FCproClient-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar exmaple.js

Details about the jjs tool can be found on the Oracle-website or at the project Oracle Nashorn – A Next-Generation JavaScript Engine for the JVM.

2015-01-23

The freely available application FCpro HotFolder works together with the FileConverterPro Server and makes it possible to monitor yet one and soon also multiple input folders automatically.

For the monitored folder a processing-profile from the FCpro server is chosen which controls the conversion. The documents stored in containers (ZIP, RAR, 7ZIP, MSG, EML) get converted one by one and merged to an overall-PDF.

FCpro HotFolder is installed as Windows service and can also be installed on the same (localhost) or any remote computer. The communication with the FileConverterPro Server takes place via WebService through HTTP or encrypted through HTTPS.
