Enhancement request

Post by Aquarius »

How to make a great programme even better :D

Profile: I would like to have the possibility to 'update' an existing profile to the new settings
Profile: I would like to see which profile is active
Bookmarks: Same: which 'template' is active
Doc Info: I would like to prompted (at 'print' time) to fill in the Doc Info (like the 'Prompt for document properties' in Word)
Save: I would like to have a possibility to save the generated PDF in the source dir of the document processed.
regards,

Aquarius

Thanks for your message:

Profile: I would like to have the possibility to 'update' an existing profile to the new settings

noted.

Profile: I would like to see which profile is active

noted

Bookmarks: Same: which 'template' is active

You can already - which ever is ticked - is active !

Doc Info: I would like to prompted (at 'print' time) to fill in the Doc Info (like the 'Prompt for document properties' in Word)

Sorry - but this would slow the process down if we set as the default and most users would be unhappy - it has come up before but was not well received - we will look at making it an option perhaps.

Save: I would like to have a possibility to save the generated PDF in the source dir of the document processed.

Not possible - Windows does not pass this information or strore it anywhere as part of the print process - so we have no way of establishing the source files home folder - this is one of the most requested features - that unfortunatley we cannot meet :(

Thanks for the feedback - always welcome !
If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.

Best regards

Ahhh... yes: I see
However: I first need press the [Load...] button.
I'd rather see it on the Bookmarks-page (e.g. directly under Template ??)
Doc Info: I would like to prompted (at 'print' time) to fill in the Doc Info (like the 'Prompt for document properties' in Word)

Yes: please... as an option.
I'd assume that you fill out (on the Printing Preferences) e.g. 'Author', and tick [v] Prompt for Document Info.
But if you don't tick it: no questions asked, and (of course) no DocInfo saved in the PDF.
Save: I would like to have a possibility to save the generated PDF in the source dir of the document processed.

Not possible
Of course.. thanks to your great programme I keep forgetting it is a Windows application :evil:
regards,

Aquarius
