PDF Export PACK Version 2

PDF Export PACK Version 2 Is Here! Version 2 adds to the efficiency and power of our original SUPERText. PDF Export PACK (described in the “New PDF Export PACK for SUPERText” Aug 31/10 Article). With Version 2 you can now:

  • Render zones in exported PDF files using new rendering types including “Solid Zone Colour” and “Transparent Zone Colour” so you can now export PDF files with zoned areas highlighted in colour.
  • Automatically include “Author”, “Title”, “Subject” and “Key Words” meta-data fields in the exported PDF files. SUPERText lets you specify the SUPERText database fields or constant values to use for the values for each of these PDF meta-data fields.
  • Export PDF files that are automatically encrypted and secured with a password to open the PDF files and/or a “master” PDF password to restrict permissions in the exported PDF files.

SUPERText: BASIC PACK Version 6.96 and SUPERText: BASIC Version 7.23

We have released Version 6.96 of BASIC PACK and Version 7.23 of SUPERText: BASIC. New and enhanced (since Version 6.92) are the following:
  • New “Reason Rendering” in “Make|Redacted Images” and in “Make|Duplicate Database”. Redaction zones may now be rendered with a redaction reason, either using reference text from a database field or automatically. A cross-referenced Redactions Report is now also automatically generated.
  • New “Delay Copying of Linked Files” option. If a volume has a large number of large media or external files, it may be advantageous to delay the copying of these files and perform the copying as a post-process operation. In addition to this new option, we have added two new “Post-Process” operations: “Copy Linked Files that Were Delayed” and “Verify Linked Files that Were Delayed.”
  • Improved “Check Media Links” function now returns LINKED tables, so that records can now be copied and pasted into the Results List from the “Links Found”, “Links Missing” and “Error” tables.
  • Improved automatic re-setting of default folders for KLU, default folders for VIFs and defaults for other settings, designed to save time.
  • A newer version of SUPERText: BASIC (7.23) that includes user-settable Results List size of up to 10,000 records.
  • New quick access buttons in Document Record window to “Toggle Between Hits and Whole Document View” and “Ask Windows to Open Document.”

The new PLUS version of SUPERText: Index, in addition to having all the existing functionality of the standard SUPERText: Index product, provides extra functions and features especially useful in server-based installations. Index PLUS has an enhanced scripting component to automate SUPERText project maintenance functions.

New functions are also available to automate the collection of SUPERText project data from multiple remote locations to a centralized server. Index PLUS can be installed directly on a server for server-based indexing, thus not requiring a full SUPERText: Research license and installation for the server.
