What's New

Breaking changes

  • Please check for the new e-mail format setting, when using the COM-interface for sending HTML formatted e-mails via SMTP.

Improvements

  • PDFCreator Professional and Terminal Server: When e-mailing via SMTP, it is now possible to send the e-mail on behalf of someone else and to define the display name and reply to address.
  • The workflow editor view has been further improved with immediate and better visibility of incorrect settings.
  • The print action now has the option to fit the document to the page size of the printer.
  • New option to proceed with further send actions if one of them fails.
  • It is now possible to save settings with removed passwords, which makes it easier to share settings for a support case.
  • The e-mail quick action now uses default HTML setting of the client.
  • New warning about circular dependencies when selecting another PDFCreator printer in the print action.

Bugs fixed

  • HotFolder could sometimes use the wrong PDFCreator profile to convert files.
  • HotFolder did not consider shared settings.
  • The "forward to profile" action may have failed with an UnauthorizedAccessException.
  • Opening the signature settings always selected the first time server account instead of the originally selected.
  • The /Profile parameter did not work for files that have to be printed.
  • The token was not always replaced.
  • For the special condition that the filename contained a whitespace in the 23rd position, the conversion of PDF files via drag & drop failed.
