KeyesOverlay - Version Differences
You may supply user and/or owner passwords, if you want to encrypt the PDF documents that KeyesOverlay creates. The passwords can be up to 32 characters long, each. Users will be limited to opening and possibly printing and annotating the PDF's. Otherwise, only an owner will be able to change a PDF.
A new type of image has been added to KeyesOverlay, that is used for Duplex printing. If you define a Duplex image in the Map file, that image will be sent to the PDF document after every spooled file page. It is intended to be used with Duplex printing, to supply the back-side image.
KeyesOverlay's Mapping Tool has been extensively enhanced so that it will now automatically map your spooled file to the page, with optional overlays or images. It does this for any of the 3 processing modes. All you have to do now is to provide the page dimensions, margins, and spooled file size. The system will automatically generate the appropriate code to map your spooled file to the page.
This makes mapping spooled files very quick and easy. You are then welcome to customize parts of the mapped spooled file to make important information stand out.
KeyesOverlay's print driver (ImageMaker) has been updated to support Vista.
The ability to produce barcodes within your PDF documents has been added to the system. Different types of barcodes can be produced, depending on your requirements. The list of types includes: Code 39, Code 128, UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, EAN-8, ISBN, ISSN, JAN, Bookland, and Supplementals.
The MICR font can now be included in your map file, to make documents such as Checks.
A new method of defining a Map has been added. The new method will make it much easier to map an image to a full page of spooled file text, without having to map individual fields or lines. Using the new Full Page processing mode, a single definition line, will map the entire spooled file to the page with the desired font and font attributes.
Two new types of images were added to the Mapping process. "Before" images will appear on a page added just before the first page of each document in the PDF. "After" images will appear on a page added after the last page of your documents. These new image types make it easy to add things like Terms and Conditions pages to your documents.
The system now includes the capability to define Logic selection when mapping spooled files to a PDF. Image Logic records give you a method of selecting when or what images are placed on each page that is mapped. Field Logic records give you a method of selecting what type of text will be mapped for each line of a spooled file.
With the new Field Logic capability you can now define a different type of spooled file mapping that we call Line Mode. Line Mode processing allows you to map free form reports to a PDF, such as Sales Reports or G/L Trial Balances, with different attributes assigned to the different types of lines that are in the report. For example, Headings or Totals can be included on the page with different fonts or colors.
The new Field Logic and Line Mode processing capability will also give you the ability to automatically create Bookmarks in the PDF to aid the user in navigating the different sections of a report. 2 levels of Bookmarks are available.
Spooled files that have been created with "Open DBCS" (Double Byte Character Set) fields can now be processed with an Overlay. However, any bracketed DBCS fields that exist in the data stream should not be mapped to the document. They will not be converted to the appropriate graphics characters.
