What's New: Q2'11
PDF Sign&Seal v6 is a major new release and confirms Ascertia’s commitment to deliver the most advance and easy to use desktop PDF creation and signing application. We are continuously listening to our customers and partners and delivering features which matter the most to you (so don’t forget you can send us your feedback here.) The following lists the main features in this new release:
- Provides an advanced user interface. Files can be converted to PDFs from within PDF Sign&Seal. A blank PDF document can be created.
- Blank signature fields are no longer saved immediately to the PDF file, now they are only saved when the Save button is clicked or a digital signature is created. The Drag&Sign function has been enhanced to allow re-sizing of the final appearance. The signature appearance designer has also been improved and a new ISO8601 date format is available YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss ZONE.
- PDF Sign&Seal now supports integration with Ascertia Docs. Users can upload and share their PDF documents with others to have them review, approve and sign documents.
- PDF forms can now be designed using text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, list, combo boxes and submit buttons as well as signature fields.
- PDF documents can be viewed in full screen mode.
- PDF/A font checking has been added to all signing fields, text fields and stamps to detect if a new font needs to be embedded or not. This clever feature ensures that PDF/A output files are not bloated with multiple copies of the same font.
- A plugin for Office 2007/2010 is included that provides a toolbar option to enables PDF create, sign, seal, sign & seal, email and open operations. Saved signature field locations can also be added.
- SHA-2 algorithms are now supported for signature generation and verification.
- User interactions have been improved including file management, installer messages, error messages, error handling and on-line upgrade
- Further improvements to the PDF Sign&Seal launch time.
- Implemented scaling of stamps ensuring they remain smooth.
- Opened documents are now automatically zoomed to fit the available page width.
- Focus is now retained on the current page after adding comments, stamps and other annotations.
- The “save-as” operation now by default uses the source folder, unless a separate default folder has already been configured.
