Documaker Core

BugDB# Description

18177178 This patch:
- Allows delete and backspace to remove empty paragraphs, including the last end-of-paragraph marker in a text area.
- Retains bullet (or non-bullet) when deleting the end-of-paragraph marker of a list item and joining with the next paragraph.

18111761 This patch corrects an entry pagination issue that can occur when a large block of text (spans multiple pages) is pasted into a multi-line text field on a "can split" section.

20146850 This patch fixes text area overlap that was traced to multiple split/merge events in a document with lots of flowing text and the "Can Split" section option enabled (via rule or otherwise).

18237292 This patch corrects a date field display issue that can occur in DMStudio’s Data Entry Check and in WipEdit. When a Unicode font is used with a date field, the date selected is not retained when the user navigates away from the field then returns to the field, either by pressing the Shift+Tab keys, or by clicking on the field. This problem has been corrected.

18347082 This patch adds a new DPRIFORMSPROTOCOL option to the i_ModifyWIPData request to suppress pagination, preventing possible pagination problems when transactions contain PSL fields.

18352791 This patch fixes a crash related to assigning a style to a text area.

17634416 This patch provides support for the USPS Intelligent Mail Package Barcode (IMpb).

20456850 This patch fixes text area overlap that was traced to multiple split/merge events in a document with lots of flowing text and the "Can Split" section option enabled (via rule or otherwise).

18763197 This patch corrects a bar chart issue in which dashes would appear on the chart when the Y-axis value was zero.

18710344 This patch addresses the "too many font handles" that could occur in gendata or Docupresentment (IDS) after a number of transactions.

18610780 This patch corrects a field length issue that can occur in the WIP Edit plug-in. When a document with a Unicode field was saved, closed, and reopened, the length of the field was incorrectly changed so that it no longer agreed with the length of the field that was established in Studio. This patch corrects that problem.

19262818 This patch corrects a line wrap issue that can occur in a multiline text field.

19695616 This patch fixes a bug in barcode type variable fields that use the Skip Reading accessibility attribute

19663142 This patch fixes a problem when producing accessible PDF files that contain text areas with borders.

20147100 This patch fixes a problem when producing accessible PDF files that could fail to output part of a text paragraph that spans pages.

20190615 This patch fixes multi line text fields issue in NA file when the field length is not provided and it is more than 1024.

18732887 This patch corrects a WIP Edit issue in which OMR marks are not placed in the correct location on a section.

Documaker Studio & Utilities

BugDB# Description

16731627 This patch fixes the issue when the height of a table row in a Microsoft Word document was specified to be determined by its content the imported height was not always correct.

16886238 This patch corrects a problem with the RunTriggers rule in which the Search Mask (Counter) entry does not get evaluated when the Search Mask (True/False) entry is also present in the same trigger.

17714202 This patch enables you to set the dateformat for Dutch locale, add the INI setting
< Language >
Locale = NLG
< Language:NLG >
DateFormat=49

17995088 This patch corrects a Documaker Studio Form Manager subform display issue that can occur after selecting the "Show/Hide Subform Sections" option in the Sections window. As a section is highlighted in the Sections window, either by clicking on it or by using the down arrow key, the display window may not scroll down to show that section.

18300078 This patch enables you to use the "Change Multiple Forms" wizard in Documaker Studio's Conversion Manager to set a form to print in duplex mode.

18361145 This patch corrects a problem that can occur when using the Find and Replace dialogs in Documaker Studio's Section Manager and Form Manager. When a Find Type of Font is chosen, along with a Font ID, the Font ID may not be found if it is only used by a text format token, such as a new line, space, etc.

18483539 This update resolves a crash that occurs while displaying field options in the grid for new fields inserted at the end of a line or end of a sentence in a text area.

18498411 This patch enables you to use the "Change Multiple Forms" wizard in Documaker Studio's Conversion Manager to set the tray for a form.

18672833 This patch restores the ability to adjust the X and Y coordinates of a section's objects in the Change Multiple Sections wizard in Documaker Studio's Conversion Manager that was disabled in the previous patch.

20146908 This patch fixes an issue when spanning and then re-merging text area across pages could result in a bogus end of paragraph marker being added where the page previously ended.

20146953 This patch fixes the issue when text areas spanning and merging between pages could cause overlap when large blocks of data were added or deleted in one action. Also paragraph selection on an MLT will first set the field to a minimum size as it empties the text area; now an expansion is made at the start of formatting to hold the first line instead of waiting to see if the line will break.

19767580 This patch added the ability to get to and maintain the custom labels associated with a Chart Point Axis when specified. This is a new tab that will appear on the same dialog where Chart Series and Data elements are maintained. A button will appear in the property area of the Point Axis when you choose Custom as the label format. This will give you quick access to the associated tab on that dialog.
