WHAT'S NEW
Version 3.1.2:
  • New: The following PDF document attributes are now scriptable: title, author, subject, keywords.
  • Changed: Contentscaling mode properties "width" and "height" have been renamed "fit width" and "fit height" to avoid clashes with the page properties width and height.
  • Fixed: Issue with annotation stamp objects that could, among other things, cause issues with file saving in Demo Mode.
  • Fixed: Resolved a memory leak that could occur when closing a document.
  • Fixed: Interleaving documents through scripting should now work.
  • Fixed: Corrected the scripting dictionary entry for page label opacity.
  • Fixed: Scripting page label alignment should now produce correct results.
  • Fixed: Scripting changes to document settings should now dynamically update the content view.
  • Fixed: Removed the non-functional Go To Page menu item in the Dynamic Annotations Inspector (use Hyperlinks instead).
  • Fixed: Watermarks can now again import PDFs.
  • Fixed: Corrected scripting issue that failed to get a page's forced display box when the box type was none.
  • Fixed: Corrected scripting issue that failed to set and read the manual and none content scaling modes correctly in various places.
  • Fixed: Corrected user interface availability in the Annotation Stamp Inspector. (Reloaded stamp objects cannot change their appearance stream.)
Version 3.1.1:
  • 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.
Version 3.1:
  • New: Added extra printing options to the print panel allowing greater control over page rotation and page scaling.
  • Fixed: Fixed an issue with sheet orientation when printing impositions.
  • Fixed: Adressed a number of stability and functionality issues in the media browser.
Version 3.0.1:
  • 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.

    MARTINSTEPHENS  This is an excellent application that does everything that the developer lists in his notes.

    But wait, there's more. This application is scriptable as well. This has allowed me to create 130 page documents with 2000 internal links by merging 4 different PDF files. Once I had the Applescript written I was creating these files in 2 minutes. To do the 2000 links manually would be impossible.

    The developer is very helpful and responsive.  (Version 3.1.1)

    MACMARIA  This is a very good application. Even being a beta is very stable (I was part of the private beta 1-5) and is full of great features.

    In my opinion, this is a great upgrade and PDFClerk 3 makes a difference on the PDF Mac apps world: UI, PDF forms, annotations encryption and, especially, outlines. (I'm still to test the applescript capability.)

    For me, being able to have a "table of contents" (outline) on the sidebar of a pdf reader program, is a must for navigation, especially in medium or long documents. This feature alone allowed me to stop using Adobe's heavy weighted Acrobat. As a matter of fact, during the last week I worked in several PDFs, including some that had more than 600 pages and the behavior of PDFClerk was exemplary.

    I'm a very happy costumer with this application and its developer support.  (Version 3.0b6)
