FileConvert Change Log

7.1.0.63 (2012-03-29)

7.1.0.60 (2012-03-07)

Fixed an issue where the memory wasn't flushed when extracting images from PDFs. Should improve performance on large documents.
We now copy all files to the temp folder and do the conversions from there. This should address some rare cases where network files failed to convert successfully.

7.1.0.59 (2012-02-17)

Refined the interface under the "Jobs" tab to make creating and running jobs more intuitive.
Auto-rotate is now available for all OCR engines.
Fixed an issue where we sometimes got false positives when we checked if a file was in use.

7.1.0.54 (2012-01-09)

7.1.0.51 (2011-12-07)

File searches now run in their own process for better stability and performance.
Updated help.

7.1.0.42 (2011-10-17)

7.1.0.42 (2011-10-07)

FileConvert can now handle files with no extension. It will intelligently figure out what kind of file it is.
Fixed a problem that was keeping FileConvertAgent from launching.
We won't overwrite a file unless we are sure the conversion worked (but we always back up a file regardless).

7.0.0.18 (2011-03-15)

Fixed an issue introduced in the last build that would keep the queue from loading.

7.0.0.17 (2011-03-10)

We force a close on Word, Excel and PowerPoint before conversions in case they didn't shut down properly.
Fixed an issue that was, on rare occasion, causing Office files to fail
For jobs that are set to split up files every N pages, on rare occasion the source file didn't get removed from the output folder after the split. If we detect that the delete failed, we'll now retry a few times, in case there was a lock.
"Input File Limit Per Run" has been replaced by a "Queue Limit for Scheduled Jobs." This sets the maximum number of files that can be in the queue at a time. When a scheduled job runs, it will stop scanning for files once the queue limit is reached. The queue limit does not apply to manual jobs.
New setting: "Remove Log Items" purges old log information after N days to keep the log file from growing too big.
The job option "Output Date Stamp" wasn't sticking.

7.0.0.16 (2011-03-04)

7.0.0.15 (2011-02-24)

Office files are now restricted to a single thread (it as always true that Office files would only work in a single thread; now it's enforced).
Fine-tuned the conversion threads to eliminate a 5-minute pause that would sporadically happen.

7.0.0.14 (2011-02-17)

7.0.0.9 (2010-01-19)

7.0.0.8 (2010-01-18)

7.0.0.5 (2010-12-23)

Initial release of FileConvert 7.
Completely updated UI.
New ribbon-style toolbar provides easier access to features.
PDF/A-1b support for creating archival-quality PDFs.
Bookmark separators place a bookmark in the output PDF instead of splitting it.
New ability to browse input/output/backup folders and job history from the main view.
Logging is now done by job and date.
New ability to filter the logs by date ranges or status.
Added support for more file types.
New ability to skip a file if the output file already exists.

6.6.0.2551 (2010-09-13)

6.6.0.2468 (2010-07-12)

6.5.0.2409 (2010-06-17)

Fixed a flicker issue with the status bars when converting multiple threads.
We weren't checking the active file when filtering for files to add to the queue, with the result that the current file could get added to the queue again.
We were only adding files to the queue if they had a file size > gt; 0, which could keep files from being added if the user didn't have sufficient rights to the file. Now they're added if they exist.

6.5.0.2106 (2010-03-17)

Can now run as a service. See Settings > General > Run as a Service. Look in the documentation for limitations when running it as a service.
Fixed issues with updating the progress bars during OCR, which was causing sporadic freezing and failures.

6.5.0.1978 (2010-03-04)

Implemented a new internal messaging system in preparation for letting FileConvert run as a service.
Fixed a minor issue with embedding OCR text when converting from TIFF to searchable PDF.
Fixed a page rotation issue.

6.5.0.1924 (2010-02-18)
