PrintNet Designer 5.2
August 5, 2008
GMC Software Technology has rolled out PrintNet Designer Version 5.2 for personalized document creation. In Version 5.2, RTF import handling has been rewritten for improved support of tables, embedded images, and embedded variables. Automatic input mapping to RTF field names makes it easier to make full use of the RTF standard by reducing programming steps. Process Improvements simplify migration from legacy applications such as Word MailMerge. The entire document can be ported directly from MS Word into PrintNet Designer. Variables are still treated as variables in the new application and document formatting is retained. This version opens PrintNet document development to non-GMC applications such as Microsoft Word. It also features integration with MindFire, an ASP in the personalized URL (PURL) space. JDF Support has also been activated.
The program's workflow icons have been redesigned to show their functions more effectively and improve their usability. Workflow components can now be sorted alphabetically on the main workflow screen for easier job construction. A new "Report File" function in the production window creates a job report of information typically included with the PrintNet Log, plus all the settings and configurations of all of the modules used in the job.
