NEW LEARNING RESOURCE
FREE
10-minute "Get-Started with UnForm" Recorded Webinars
Available March 1st
SDSI will be making available a series of
10-minute recorded webinars in Windows Media
format for people who want to watch and learn
the steps involved in configuring and testing
UnForm.
The first 5 of the initial 8-part
"Get-Started" series will be formally announced
and available March 1st.
The first 5
recordings walk through the process of
downloading, installing and configuring UnForm
on a Windows workstation, TCP/IP printing,
generating pdf samples, including demonstration
of new email, fax, desktop delivery and archive
samples.
Following shortly after the release
of the first five, we'll announce the
availablity of sessions 6 through 8, which will
offer a more detailed view of Archiving, Image
Manager, and the UnForm Design Tool.
The
sessions are geared towards integrators who are
just getting started with UnForm, which we
expect will include both new and prospective
resellers and end-users, as well as new staff
members of existing resellers and end-users.
UnForm 8.0

Development staff are reporting significant
progress on the next major release of Unform.
Major 8.0 features developed so far:
- Truetype font embedding for pdf, pcl,
and postscript output
- Unicode text output, when using truetype
fonts
- Unicode characters as images, to save
the overhead of embedded font files

web servers
- Address book object for managing email
and fax information
- Deliver command that handles email, fax,

- Multiple archive commands in a single
rule-set
The above list mainly covers base package
enhancements already completed. Stay tuned for
additional feature announcements, including
improvements and enhancements in the document
archiving and image manager components.
The Beta release of version 8.0 is
tentatively scheduled to coincide with an
upcoming technical conference being considered
