'Convert PDF to Image' Revision History

Vista Compatibility enhancements. Program may now run faster on Vista. See Versions (2.16, 2.34)

2.43 (12/16/2009)

• Help system completely rewritten.  CHM help file now used, and web help is there for backup.
• User Interface: The terms "Original" and "Target" file have been replaced with the more intuitive "Input" and "Output" respectively.
• User Interface: If users launch the target file and it does not exist, now it opens the folder in explorer.

2.41 (10/27/2009)

• User Interface: Upon completion of a Conversion Job, the status bar now flashes 100% complete.  If minimized, the taskbar flashes to indicate completion.
• User Interface: When running the scheduler, if program is minimized the time remaining shows up in the task bar.
• User Interface: When running the scheduler, PAUSE button now enabled to halt scheduler.

2.40 (8/19/2009)

• The Shell Extender would open the file specified, however the user interface did not look proper.

2.39 (8/14/2009)

• Move the input (original) file after processing has been added as a 'program option'. See the File\Options menu or the Advanced Options button in the user interface.  This will be very helpful for those looking to use the scheduler to convert a specific folder of files while avoiding redundant conversions.
• Scheduler updated. Countries where time format was MM/DD/YYYY were sometimes problematic.

2.37 (6/12/2009)

• Command Line: /O switch was broken.

2.36 (5/29/2009)

• Command Line: Full path not required for /S /T /L /B and /J. If the full path is not specified it is assumed the current folder will be used. If the current folder path is invalid, then the folder that contains ConvertXLS.exe will be used. This makes it easy to specify the command line like so:

          ConvertPDFToImage.exe /S "Apples.pdf" /C1 /T "Apples Output.jpg"

2.35 (3/30/2009)

• Usability: Most Recently Used Conversion Job files now available from the FILE menu item.

2.340 (3/30/2009)

• Usability: Users no longer have to press the ADD button for the program to convert. Upon pressing the ADD button, the program assumes you will be creating a conversion job that has more than one conversion item.

• Usability: When pressing the PAUSE button, the status bar now reflects this fact, and the Green check or Red X is properly displayed if the last running conversion job finished.

• Usability: Users no longer have to press REWIND if the last run went to 100% completion.

• Usability: When pressing the PAUSE button, the mouse now restores back to the arrow as it should.

• Error Logging: If users pressed PAUSE during a conversion job, and then clicked CONVERT, any errors logged from this point had an incorrect 'Conversion Job Number'.

• Command Line: Should run much faster now that many ini parameters are not being unnecessarily loaded.

2.32 to 2.332 (2/26/2009)

• General. Loading the application should occur faster.

2.31 to 2.32 (8/15/2008)

• Command Line, when no path was given and double quotes were used, an error would occur.

2.30 to 2.31 (2/21/2008)

• COM interface was not using /8 for single and multiple file output

• Faster conversion times

2.21 to 2.30 (2/13/2008)

• Loading a conversion job file now works properly.

• Scheduler: Certain regional settings such as Greece, made the scheduler behave incorrectly.

2.20 to 2.21 (12/13/2007)

• Conversion: Temporary files were not being deleted.
   

2.19 to 2.20 (10/29/2007)

• Scheduler: When using international operating system, then restarting program sometimes caused an issue due to international dates.
   

2.18 to 2.19 (9/19/2007)

• Conversion: PDF to multiple tiffs sometimes did not work, whereas pdf to single tiffs always seemed to work.

2.17 to 2.18 (9/18/2007)

• Conversion: Picking the file and file target type now lead to a much easier default target file being displayed.  Target file is no longer all lower case, but, is based on how the original file is.

2.13 to 2.14 (5/21/2007)

2.02 to 2.13 (5/4/2007)

• Conversion: PDF to TIFF, colors were not coming out properly

• User interface greatly simplified.

2.01 to 2.02 (5/2/2007)

• Registration: A small issue existed in countries where the decimal was a comma, not a period (i.e. France).

• Ability to select subfolders was hidden, this is now visible

1.20 to 1.30 (4/30/2007)

• Delete file after processing was failing if the file had read only attributes. Read only attributes are now changed to read/write before deleting.

• Target file button was being hidden whenever the original file was specified with the wildcard (*) asterisk.  Target file button is now always displayed.

• User Interface given a 'Face Lift'

1.08 to 1.09 (4/15/2007)

• Command Line no longer checks for file extension matching.  This resolves a command line issue in which the program incorrectly reported: "Conversion Job File (*.SII) specified in the command line (/J) does not exist." And "Missing required or invalid command line argument(s)".

• Minor fixes in User interface and image converesion

1.05 to 1.06 (3/20/2007)

• If a general failure occurs when converting more than one file, it continues to convert instead of stopping upon first failure.

1.04 to 1.05 (3/8/2007)

• User interface (not command line): It is now impossible to enter a double quotation character (e.g. ") whenever specifying a file.

• When loading a 'Conversion Job', it would not inform you that a target folder did not exist, and when trying to run this conversion job, it would report a General Failure.  Now, the directory will be created for you, and if it can't be, a proper error message will be reported.

1.04 to 1.05 (3/2/2007)

•  Fixes issues with some images that do not have resolutions set within them (uses default resolution, Windows 9x shows this, Windows 2K/XP "assume" resolutions if there are none set)
