Changes for v7.1.347 - v7.1.348
- Released build 348, there was a problem when installing on Windows 7 the previous build (if it worked no need to download and install the new build).
Changes for v7.1.346 - v7.1.347
- with previous builds in the property "Title" and "Application" of the PDF file the first Pathname was visible, generating a problem of privacy, as well as the name of the user in the "Author" - these properties were removed so now they're not added anymore
- there's a big change in the installation of the new build. Until this build, there was a specific doPDF Port Monitor installed along with the doPDF printer. We've discovered that this isn't needed anymore so starting with build 347, the Port Monitor is not installed anymore and a local port is now used instead. Because of this, an empty file with the same name as the port name is created by Windows in the "Documents" folder for the currently logged in user. This file can be deleted, but Windows will create it again at the next print job, its name being DOPDF7 (no file extension, 0 byte file).
Changes for v7.1.345 - v7.1.346
- doPDF 7.1 build 346 was released with only 2 minor fixes: we corrected the Romanian translation (which was working 2 builds ago, but then it reverted last build so we had to re-correct the ... correction); second fix is related to document conversion from Microsoft Publisher 2010 - a combination of characters was not converted correctly, but now it is. So download is recommended only for users affected by these 2 fixes mentioned.
Changes for v7.1.344 - v7.1.345
- doPDF 7.1 build 345 was released, it contains two small fixes (corrected A0, A1,... paper sizes on Vista and Windows 7, fix for Excel conversions)
Changes for v7.1.342 - v7.1.343
- doPDF 7.1 build 343 was released, it contains some small text corrections in the Romanian translation, as well as a fix for printing in a folder where a file already exists (in some cases it would prompt to save in a different folder than the original one).
Changes for v7.1.340 - v7.1.341
- doPDF 7.1 build 341 was released it contains a single fix but an important one as it affects the size of the resulting PDF file. Basically starting with build 341 we're switching back to the JPEG compression algorithm for images, the one that was used in version 6 and which proves to have a better quality/size ratio than the GZIP one (as reported by users here http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/332-336-file-size-too-large ).
