Release Date: Saturday, August 01, 2009
The mvPDF products has seen some major changes, with the introduction of a new mvPDF Lite Edition.
This offers the most frequently requested features at a budget-friendly price, and is aimed both at smaller sites and at application vendors wishing to improve their print and report offerings.
mvPDF has also introduced the Report Mining, giving sites the chance to unlock their investment in their existing reports as resources for creating new dynamic documents and exports.
The PCL parser has also been totally rewritten with assistance from Reflex Data, and now includes better mapping of PCL codes and coordinates, new compressed mode type, and support for EPSON FX format barcodes - a format that is also used by Brother, IBM and HP printers.
