What's new in TIFF Image Printer 10.0.012

Sep 15, 2015
  • Fixes:
  • Fixes for Windows security updates.
  • Fixed issue with JPEG in TIFF creating files at the wrong size (too big).
  • JPEG compression is now 4:4:4 (no sub-sampling) to ensure best quality, except in JPEG Color Fax which by FAX standards is required to be 4:2:2.

New in TIFF Image Printer 10.0.011 (Sep 15, 2015)

  • Fixes:
  • Fixed issue where the SaveAs Dialog would not always appear on top when printing from a 32-bit application on a 64-bit edition of Windows®.
  • Fixed bug where auto-rotating a landscape page with the Copy To Page feature enabled would cause the page to rotated twice.
  • Install program now automatically enables the Print Spooler Service if it is not enabled, in order to allow product to install without any errors.

New in TIFF Image Printer 10.0.010 (Sep 15, 2015)

  • Fixes:
  • Random issue with property tabs Image Processing and Page Processing on 64-bit operating systems sometimes failing to display properly is resolved in this update.
  • When upgrading the Windows operating system from Windows XP or Vista and moving to Windows 7 or better, the printer would sometimes fail to install; this update resolves this issue.

New in TIFF Image Printer 10.0.009 (Sep 15, 2015)

  • Features:
  • Added feature to split multipage TIFF files by page count and/or file size threshold, feature can be enabled on the Save tab of printing preferences.
  • Fixes:
  • Fix to allow the use of UNC naming (\\Server\Folder\) in the Output Directory field.
  • Fix for PNControl temp files filling up the temp folder when using PNSrv10 COM in a Windows service running under NETWORK SERVICE account.

New in TIFF Image Printer 10.0.007 (Sep 15, 2015)

  • Fixes:
  • Fix for potentially null pointer exception in PNSrv10 on systems with low resources.
  • Fix issue in locating script file when %TEMP% is setup to be session local.

New in TIFF Image Printer 10.0.006 (Sep 15, 2015)

  • Fixes:

  • Fix for handling of very large image files that produced incorrect output (parts of the page repeated or black areas) when scaling.
  • Fix for issue with print jobs that are submitted to the print queue with tabs as part of the print job name. In this scenario the file would spool but not print and no output was created. The tabs are now replaced with spaces and leading and trailing spaces are removed from the job name.
  • Fix for late binding when using the PNSrv10 COM interface, including using dynamic types and named and optional arguments.

New in TIFF Image Printer 10.0.005 (Sep 15, 2015)

  • Added feature to allow the TIFF file name to be specified when a print job is created by the calling application. For example, if you Print to File from an application like Word, Excel or any other application, the specified file will be used as the save file name and location.
  • This feature allows the TIFF Image Printer to be used as a full replacement for the Microsoft Document Image Writer and even if you have programmed software to automatically print to the Microsoft Document Image Writer where the PrintOut method specified the output file name, the TIFF Image Printer 10.0.005 will now use this information for the output file name.

New in TIFF Image Printer 9.0.010 (Apr 21, 2011)

  • Resolves issues in the PNSrv9 COM Interface where the SetTIFFCompressionOptions method did not correctly configure compression to JPEG in TIFF when called with any of the JPEG compression options as follows:
  • pnColorCompressionMethod.pnColorCompressionJPEG[High|Medium|Low]Quality
  • pnIndexedCompressionMethod.pnIndexedCompressionJPEG[High|Medium|Low]Quality pnGreyscaleCompressionMethod.pnGreyscaleCompressionJPEG[High|Medium|Low]Quality which resulted in only LZW compressed images instead of JPEG compressed images in TIFF files.

New in TIFF Image Printer 9.0.009 (Apr 21, 2011)

  • Resolved conversion performance/speed issue found on computers with no internet access.

New in TIFF Image Printer 9.0.008 (Apr 21, 2011)

  • Added feature to allow setting the Control String prefix and suffix to a single unicode character value. By using this feature, products like Crystal Reports 11 and Adobe Reader can be configured so the product recognizes control strings. The default prefix of '~0%' and suffix '?' are used if this feature is not in affect.
  • Fixed an issue in the [TIFF File Format] section of the config C.INI file and the script S.INI file. The keywords for the Color Compression and Greyscale
  • Compression entries:
  • High quality JPEG
  • Medium quality JPEG
  • Low quality JPEG

New in TIFF Image Printer 8.0.013 (Oct 19, 2009)

  • Fixed a multi-thread issue for applications using the script file and document spooled and cancelled events to control the printing process. These event names were being read after the driver signalled the commands processed event, which on some system was causing a job to be associated with another job's document spooled and/or document cancelled event names.

New in TIFF Image Printer 8.0.012 (Oct 19, 2009)

  • Fixed multiple issues when the default printer setup was changed to print direct which were causing errors to be reported in the event log on empty print jobs and causing PNAdd8.exe and PNJob8.exe processes to become hung.

This was done to prevent Microsoft firewall and other network security options from blocking the job from successfully printing.
