What's new in TIFF Image Printer 9.0.013

• Improved performance of printing lots of small documents in a row.
• Improved performance of text extraction.
• Fixed issue with COM API reporting jobs not completed when no jobs in print queue, introduced by Windows 7 and Windows 2008 SP1.

What's new in TIFF Image Printer 9.0.012

• New feature added to support rendering pages at resolution of printer when in Fax Mode. This feature is enabled by default. It solves the problem of Excel documents creating more pages when forced to rendered document at Fax resolution (200 dpi) as was default in prior releases
• Enhanced support of paper selection based on paper width and height. A few products do not always select paper type (Letter, A4, etc.) but instead only use the width and height of the paper. Product now matches postscript printer driver behaviour for this situation
• For PNSrv9 COM users, improved speed of creating printer pool, enhanced clean-up of ports and printers to ensure all registry keys removed

What's New in TIFF Image Printer 9.0.011

Support added for:

• Windows 7 (SP1)
• Internet Explorer 9.0
• Adobe Acrobat and Reader X (10.0.xx)

New features and fixes:

• New feature added to support saving sent messages in the sent folder when using extended MAPI.
• Resolved issue with memory leak in spooler (spoolsv.exe) process.

What's New in TIFF Image Printer 9.0.010

• Resolves issues in the PNSrv9 COM Interface where the SetTIFFCompressionOptions method did not correctly configure compression to JPEG in TIFF when called with any of the JPEG compression options as follows:

  pnColorCompressionMethod.pnColorCompressionJPEG[High|Medium|Low]Quality
  pnIndexedCompressionMethod.pnIndexedCompressionJPEG[High|Medium|Low]Quality
  pnGreyscaleCompressionMethod.pnGreyscaleCompressionJPEG[High|Medium|Low]Quality
  which resulted in only LZW compressed images instead of JPEG compressed images in TIFF files.

What's New in TIFF Image Printer 9.0.009

• Resolved conversion performance/speed issue found on computers with no internet access.

What's New in TIFF Image Printer 9.0.008

• Added feature to allow enabling Fax Mode to use a full 256 greyscale palette when dithering to black and white. The default is still to use a 64 greyscale palette to reduce size of fax and eliminate low intensity colors used normally to shape areas.
• Added feature to allow setting the Control String prefix and suffix to a single unicode character value. By using this feature, products like Crystal Reports 11 and Adobe Reader can be configured so the product recognizes control strings. The default prefix of '~0%' and suffix '?' are used if this feature is not in affect.
• Fixed an issue in the [TIFF File Format] section of the config C.INI file and the script S.INI file. The keywords for the Color Compression and Greyscale Compression entries:
  
  
  • High quality JPEG
  • Medium quality JPEG
  • Low quality JPEG

were not being recognized.

What's New in TIFF Image Printer 9.0.007

What's New in TIFF Image Printer V8.0.003 ?
Release of the PNSrv8 COM Interface

The PNSrv8 COM Interface was designed to make it easier for you, the developer, to programmatically control the TIFF Image Printer through your .NET applications by providing the ability to control and communicate with the TIFF Image Printer 8.0 during the printing and file creation process. It replaces and greatly enhances the older script file methodology used in the previous versions of the printer.

The COM object provides the following control:

• Set the printer’s preferences directly through the COM interface
• Easily wait until the file has been created to continue your workflow
• Use a pool of printers to increase processing capacity
• Attach to events to add custom processing at key points
• Track the files printed and the output files associated with each file
• Retrieve detailed information about the output files created

Added and fixed:

• Black pages when converting color images using a CMYK compression has been resolved
• Issue of print failing when the incorrect DevMode is sent
• Colour reduction to BW missing in control stings
• License wizzard prompt getting hidden
• Getting "can not change thread mode when aleady set" error message

Following Text Extraction items have been corrected:

• Spaces in words appearing in the text extraction file for Times Roman font
• Issue of only getting text from the last page when multipage was selected
• Printing from Visio

What's New in TIFF Image Printer V8.0?

TIFF Image Printer 8.0 was developed for and supports Microsoft Windows 2008, Windows Vista (up to SP1), Windows 2003 (up to SP2), Windows XP (up to SP3) and Windows 2000 (up to SP4)Rollup#1.

TIFF Image Printer 8.0 can be licensed on Microsoft Windows 2008, Windows Vista, Windows 2003, Windows XP and Windows 2000.

Platform updates in TIFF Image Printer 8.0

• Support for Microsoft Windows 2008
• Support for SP1 for Windows Vista
• Support for SP3 for Windows XP

Updated and enhanced fax support:

• Added support for creating Profile C color fax images.
• Added the ability to create fax format TIFF images in Letter, Legal, A4(ISO), A3(ISO) and B4(ISO) paper sizes.
• Added support for new fax resolutions 100x100, 204x391, 300x600, 400x800, 600x600, 600x1200, and 1200x1200.
• Added the ability to control how the fax image is scaled and its alignment on the fax-sized page.

Added the ability to do page and image processing:

• Automatically trim page margins based on a customizable intensity level
• Crop and discard image margins or crop and keep an inside area of the image
• Adjust the image brightness level
• Copy all or part of the image to a new page of the same or different size, and choose scaling and alignment of the new image.

New image resampling features allow you to scale the output image to a particular width and height. The new dimensions can be set using:

Pixels

• as a percentage of the original size
• or by setting a new image resolution (DPI).

All printing is processed synchronously with the print job in the print spooler. The print job is held in the print queue until the TIFF file is created and is ready for further processing. This is different from the previous versions of the driver and should simplify the automation process for application developers who are watching the printer queue to determine when the TIFF file is created.

Improved the text extraction algorithm and added new features:

• Added text layout options to better preserve the formatting of the text in the original document
• Text extraction files encoded as ANSII, UTF-8 or UTF-16
• Emulate Windows, Unix or Mac end-of-line encoding
• Emit page breaks in the text file

A reduced fax mode palette is now used when creating Profile S and Profile F fax format TIFF images.

Units for custom paper size, image processing and page processing are now entered as inches (English units) or centimeters (Metric units).

Fixed the following issues:

• Fixed problem where appending files with text extraction is turned on would overwrite text file content instead of appending.
• Fixed problem with narrow margins and missing borders when the printing a page with a border that is very close to the page edge.
• Fixed problem where Profile F fax was created with the wrong fill order. Profile F fax was being created with MSB2LSB fill order when it should be LSB2MSB.
• Fixed problem where an A4 paper size and 0” margins in Word gives the error message “The margins in section 1 are outside the printable area of the page”.

• Supports specifying LZW and Packbits compression for black and white TIFF images - LZW black and white compressed TIFF images are useful for creating black and white images that can be opened by Adobe Photoshop
• All processing of strings and file names are now fully UNICODE compliant throughout the architecture - This resolves several issues on Chinese and Japanese Windows as well as other version of Windows using UNICODE languages
• The print process has been architected to support printing without the possibility of the print queue locking up or users blocking each other when printing at the same time from within a terminal server client session
• All printing is now processed synchronously simplifying the automation process for application developers
• Added a Copy Printer program that supports creating copies of the TIFF Image Printer 7.0
• TIFF Image Printer support Windows 2000 and up - it does not support older Microsoft Windows versions such as NT 4.0, Windows 95, 98, 98 SE and ME
• With this release, the TIFF Image Printer 7.0 processing model is now identical to the PEERNET.DRV eTIFF 6.0 printing model. The default installation is back to spool document and start printing immediately.
