| Hi to all:
This is a fairly major update with regards the Clarion specific elements and
also lays the groundwork for some upcoming new features.
1) This Clarion version of PDF-XChange/Tools SDK's supports Version 3.6102
of our Libraries
2) This version of the libraries no longer requires fm30xmf.dll.
All copies of this file MUST be removed from any PC that is being upgraded
from an earlier version of PDF-Tools SDK For Clarion!
3) The PDF-Tools classes and templates have been reorganized:
a) A new PDFBuilderClass has been created that houses all of the
functionality necessary to build and augment a PDF, including Bookmarks.
Watermarks, Annotations, Overlays, Digital Signatures et al. The class is
contained in the new pdfbld35.inc and pdfbld35.clw files.
b) The PDFXToolsReportClass is now derived from PDFBuilderClass and is
contained in the pdfrpt30.inc and pdfrpt30.clw. For both hand-coders and
template-users, there should be NO CHANGE in any existing code.
However, Annotations and Watermarks now have the capability to be placed by
Page Number as well as in-text codes.
c) A new PDFXToolsImageClass has been created that is also derived from
PDFBuilderClass.
The class files are pdfimg35.inc and pdfimg35.clw.This class offers the
same PDF generation capabilities asPDFXToolsReportClass with one exception.
As there is no textual data in an image file, all placements of Bookmarks,
Watermarks, et al. must be added by page number.
4) New templates have been created to support Scan to PDF using the
PDFXToolsImageClass. These are found in pdfscn35.tpl. These have been
designated in the PDFXScanningTPL35 chain.
The original PDFXScanningTPL30 chain and associated class files are
untouched, so that users that have no need for the added functionality of
the new class and templates may continue to use them. See PDFXScan2PDF.pdf
for more information.
