Help & Manual 3.30 (BETA) Preview

Unread post by Alexander Halser »

We published a preview of Help & Manual 3.30 this morning for all registered users.
This beta includes an updated PDF engine (wPDF v2.0 from www.wptools.com).

The new PDF engine has improved text rendering and new options. The differences
should be obvious when you look at the dots in the table of contents, which are
more harmonious, a proper word and character spacing especially for right-aligned
headings and finally, smoother pictures in the PDF.

New PDF Options in Project|Properties -> PDF:

• Default zoom factor for the PDF viewer
• Optional 128 bit encryption
• More font embedding options (east-european languages still require to embed all fonts)

We are especially interested in feedback of possible "new" problems regarding PDF.
The new PDF engine from WPTools is a big improvment over the old one, but you never know.
Areas to watch out are image rendering in PDF, font rendering of special characters
(especially east-european languages, remember to embed all fonts!) and the new 128 bit
encryption. Please report bugs and problems to support AT ec-software.com
