One of the new features of the components is an extension of the existing Adobe PDF export. In version 15.0, TX Text Control will have the ability to create and save ISO conforming PDF/A documents. In recent years, PDF/A has been gaining popularity in the electronic archiving market. Using TX Text Control 15.0, PDF/A documents can be automatically created or converted from other supported formats.

Additionally, we will present a completely new concept of completing forms on the web in a true WYSIWYG manner. Using TX Text Control 15.0, MS Word compatible forms can be displayed and completed in any browser, without the need for any plug-in or download: Just pure HTML. The completed form can be processed server-side, printed or saved as an Adobe PDF document.

Our development team also improved the core functionality of TX Text Control. Page columns and structured numbered lists are planned for the next version of the successful word processing component. All documents can be imported and exported to and from Office Open XML (DOCX), MS Word (DOC) and Rich Text Format (RTF). Additionally, a valid XHTML export is going to be supported in version 15.

You can start your development with TX Text Control now, as TX Text Control 15.0 will be backwards compatible. You can purchase TX Text Control 14.0 Subscription now to get version 15.0 for free when it is released.

Server-Based Document Creation: Generate Invoices As PDF With .NET

Christopher Krause — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 10:58:00 GMT

Increasingly, the centralized creation and management of documents is an integral part of enterprise software. In modern server-based architectures, invoices, business reports and mission critical documents are created, printed and e-mailed by one centralized server.

With its latest software product, TX Text Control .NET Server 14.0, The Imaging Source brings to market a family of components for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and 2008, which can be used to create documents from MS Word compatible templates and content from databases. The resulting document can be printed or saved to Adobe PDF.

The components, which have been designed specifically for Microsoft Visual Studio, allow documents to be created on one centralized server. According to the manufacturer, the advantage herein is that documents can be centrally managed, created on demand, when they are needed, thus ensuring the document's data is always up to date. The resulting documents can then be printed or e-mailed, as the application demands.

The components were authored for server-side solutions, such as ASP.NET web applications or web services. During the development of the components, great emphasis was placed on their performance, stability and reliability.

TX Text Control .NET Server 14.0 supports all industry standard formats, such as Office Open XML (DOCX), MS Word (DOC), Rich Text Format (RTF) and HTML. Consequently, templates which currently exist and are stored as DOC files can be used.
