SintraWorks Releases PDFClerk Pro 3.2
This update contains the following changes:
- New: Outlines are now scriptable.
- New: PDF actions are now scriptable.
- New: Option to apply a filter when exporting to PDF or bitmaps. (So you can now produce PDF-X or reduce file size, etc.) .
- New: Application preference to open the most recent document on startup. This option overrides the "open untitled document" option when activated and is on by default.
- New: Imposition templates can now be duplicated in the impositions editor.
- New: Text on a page can now be directly accessed in scripts (e.g: "first paragraph of page 1").
- Changed: Removed the file type selector from the save panel. The proper way to choose what kind of file to write to disk is by either saving (type:PDFClerk) or exporting (type:PDF).
- Changed: When ending editing of a text box by clicking outside the box, the text box will now remain selected (unless the click is on another object: then that object will be selected instead). This makes it more convenient to nudge text boxes after entering text.
- Changed: Progress info sheets during save and export now provide improved feedback.
- Fixed: Corrected an oversight that could cause a PDFClerk Pro file to fail to open under certain circumstances.
- Fixed: Corrected an error when saving a PDFClerk document with rotated pages to disk, that could cause those pages to have missing parts upon the document being read back in.
- Fixed: Resolved off-by-one scripting issue in the page ranges argument of the Export command. If your scripts work around the issue up to now, you'll need to remove the work-around. (The range indexes are now one based, instead of 0 based).
- Fixed: Resolved a crash that could occur when saving large documents to disk in demo mode.
- Fixed: Resolved an issue with QuickLook when saving imposed documents to disk.
- Fixed: Several corrections to the inspector panel when inspecting outline actions. (E.g. it now updates when an outline is selected while the caps lock key is down.).
- Fixed: Corrected issue with annotation inspector when a button widget has no caption.
- Fixed: Progress indicator when saving to bitmaps now works again.
- Fixed: Some watermark issues related to changing and syncing to source.
- Fixed: A glitch when placing an annotation on the page by dragging, where the feedback rectangle would not match the drag.
- Fixed: Corrected an issue where copying a static annotation and pasting it to another page made the pasted annotation uneditable.
- Fixed: When copying pages between documents using thumbnail views, the page list would not reflect the changes.

- Fixed: Scripting page label alignment should now produce correct results.

- Fixed: Corrected scripting issue that failed to set and read the manual and none content scaling modes correctly in various places.

SintraWorks Releases PDFClerk Pro 3.1.1
This maintenance release contains the following changes:
- Fixed: It is no longer possible to drag content to imposed sheets.
- Fixed: Removed a cause for infrequent crashes when exporting to PDF. The downside is that the UI blocks during the export, which may be less than ideal for large documents, but it is better than the potential for crashing.
- Fixed: If the print command was issued while the content view had focus, the PDFClerk Pro print options would not be loaded and printing coud be incorrect.
- Fixed: A cosmetic glitch in the security inspector was corrected.

SintraWorks Releases PDFClerk Pro 3.0.1
This maintenance release contains the following changes:
- New: Watermarks are now scriptable.
- New: Watermarks can now track their source file (so that they dynamically update when the source file is modified).
- New: A watermark's source can now be changed/reconnected after the watermark has been created.
- Fixed: Corrected input/output values of percentage fields for start/end shape size of lines. (They now actually display percentages.)
- Fixed: Imposed documents are now scaled down, if needed, to fit the selected paper size when printing.
- Fixed: Horizontal/Vertical corner radius input fields in Appearance Inspector can now be set to 0.
- Fixed: Corrected scriptability of several object properties.
- Fixed: The content view is now always redrawn when the Document Settings dialog is dismissed.
- Fixed: Removed tool tips in the toolbar and menus because they could cause odd behaviour on some 10.5.2 systems.
- Fixed: Re-installed factory provided slot creep indexes in the factory provided default imposition templates. (If you had an earlier version of PDFClerk Pro installed, you'll need to remove the "PDFClerkPro Impositions.plist" file from the Application Support->PDFClerk folder to gain the indexes as this removal will cause a fresh copy of the factory provided templates to be installed. Note that if you have created custom templates, or changed the factory provided ones, then you will lose those changes.
- Fixed: MS Word documents can again be dropped onto the PDFClerk Pro application icon or onto the page list of an open PDFClerk Pro document.
