Via the context-menu of the background-processing – the processing can be stopped, started, the archive folder can be opened, the log can be displayed and deleted as well as the queue can be displayed.
The current configuration can be saved “as standard” to afterwards use the XML file as draft for the spreading to all computers. Also see usage of a template config file

eDocPrintPro SDK – extended with the PDF/A and ZUGFeRD functions

2015-03-19

The eDocPrintPro SDK makes it possible to request and set all settings and configuration-options of the PDF printer-driver from an own application. Beside the plugin-interface, the functions of the driver can also be extended via “Add-On” modules.

The PDF/A as well as the ZUGFeRD format was implemented as such Add-Ons’s. Each Add-On has a range of properties which also can be requested and set. Which properties are available for an Add-On can be seen in the SDK-documentation.

With the current version of the eDocPrintPro SDK it’s now also possible to read and set the properties for the PDF/A and the ZUGFeRD Add-On. Also a sample was added which shows how especially the ZUGFeRD parameters can be read and set.

eDocPrintPro ZUGFeRD version 3.21.2 available

2015-03-19

With this the ZUGFeRD version of our PDF printer-driver is adjusted to the current eDocPrintPro version 3.21.2. Therefor also the function to save all settings as profile (XML file with the extension *.esf) were extended to also make it possible to save and load the ZUGFeRD configuration-settings.

EasyMerge 1.4.0 – with improved PDF/A converter

2015-03-17

With the version 1.4.0 for the EasyMerge PDF/A conversion the same base routine as with the FileConverterPro is used. With that we reach an even better quality when converting to PDF/A. But the requirement is that either GhostScript or our eDocPrintPro printer-driver is installed before.

EMail Archiver for FCpro – setup and config options

2015-03-11

By default out setup’s are delivered as EXE. But sometimes for automated installations or software-distribution a MSI is needed. This can be extracted from the EXE directly.

extract MSI from the EXE:

/extract <path> – extracts the MSI, included in the EXE, into the specified folder path. If the path contains spaces it has to be wrapped in quotation marks.
example: “C:\EMail Archiver.exe” /extract “C:\EMail Archiver” – This command-line command extracts the file “EMail Archiver.msi” into the folder “C:\EMail Archiver” – A description about this can be found here >>>

MSI Commandline parmeters: For the installation with the MSI there are 2 more parameters then. With it 2 options which are offered in the setup can be set via the command line.

AUTOREGISTER: 0 / 1 – parameter to request a 30 days demo license from our license-server via web-service – is activated by default (1)
ENABLE_ALFRESCO: 0 / 1 – parameter to activate the Alfresco export functions – is deactivated by default (0)

example: msiexec SETUPEXEDIR=”C:\Program Files (x86)\EMail Archiver” ENABLE_ALFRESCO=0 /i “C:\Users\testuser\Desktop\EMail Archiver PAMless.msi” /quiet

Usage of a template config file: To be able to use a config file which is adjusted as needed a template config file (XML) is used which can be accordingly customized and distributed. When starting the application the first time, the template file is used for its configuration. The configSettings.XML file can be found under: C:\ProgramData\EmailArchiver\Config

Read only of the configuration settings: To prevent configuration-settings to be changed in the configSettings.XML file there is an entry ReadOnlyConfig. If this is set to YES the configuration can’t be changed from the user interface anymore.

eDocPrintPro version 3.21.2 available

2015-03-09

We got requests from users for having an option to completely embed all fonts which are used in the PDF. This is especially required if the PDF files are passed to a printing company or printing service provider for outputting, because some of them explicitly request that.

New PDF option – embed all fonts

With the version 3.21.2 there comes an new PDF option – “embed all fonts” – if this option is active, all fonts get completely embedded in the PDF. Therefor not only a “subset” of the font – so, not only the used characters – but always all characters of the used fonts get embedded, even if only one character of it is used.

This also applies for the 14 PDF standard fonts: Normally certain defined 14 PDF standard fonts are not embedded in a PDF because it was determinated, that these standard fonts – Courir (bold, italic, bold-italic), Helvetica (standard, bold, italic, bold-italic), Symbol, Times New Roman (standard, bold, italic, bold-italic), Zapf Dingbats – have to be available in a PDF-viewer application.

If this option isn’t active (standard), the 14 PDF-base-fonts don’t get embedded and of other fonts only the used parts. With that the PDF documents stay compact and small.

This option can also be saved and loaded via the ESF profile – to be found in the area <printer-name><PDF> under the name “EmbedAllFonts” – the value “0” means “off” and the value “1” means “on”. Inside the ESF this is displayed as

EmbedAllFonts=”L0″ or
EmbedAllFonts=”L1″

QiScan – Software for (book-)scanner based on NIKON / CANON digital cameras

2015-02-24

The QiScan Software developed by us is able to digitalize books or magazines via two high resolution NIKON or CANON digital cameras plugged to a normal PC.

Every 4 to 7 seconds two high resolution pictures of both opposite sites are taken. With the Qidenus scan-robots the page-turns is done either manuelly or also fully automated.

Qidenus – www.qidenus.com – whose scan-robots we developed this software for, is an austrian startup company which distributes it’s solutions world wide. Qidenus scan-robots are operated at many famous institutions and are used to digitalize huge amounts of partially very old and valuable books and documents.

QiScan funktions overview:

Usage of standard hardware: PC’s as well as high resolution NIKON and CANON reflex digital cameras are the base for high-quality (book-)scanners.
Every 4 to 7 seconds (depends on the camera, resolution and data format) 2 images (RAW, TIFF, JPEG) are taken and passed to the PC.
The job-oriented processing is done through a SQL database
Control of the scan-processes via integration with the SPS control of the Qidenus scan-robot
Immediate preview of the scans in the user interface for quality check and to set the scan-area of both opposite pages
Extensive image processing functions for reworking of the scans
Export of the scans in the most important formats (TIFF, JPEG, PDF) also with OCR
Background batch-processing of the jobs (conversion, image-processing, OCR, export) on the same or on remote batch-computers.

Supported camera-models:

NIKON D800 / D810
CANON EOS 700D
CANON EOS 5D Mark II
CANON EOS 5D Mark III

With this project we have extensive and year-long experience in using and driving digital cameras as “color-scanners” for automated continous operations.

FileConverterPro-CL – new version 1.0.8

2015-02-17

Innovations version 1.0.8:

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
