Powerful Labeling & Reporting Software with only 20MB

TEC-IT releases version 7 of the label printing and reporting suite TFORMer!

Performance and Usability

The new version of this label printing and reporting tool combines unmatched functionality with high performance and small resource requirements. The download size of the complete package is about 20 MB and contains all features, no additional 3rd party software is required.

Streaming

TFORMer SDK version 7 supports so-called streaming: the required output is generated completely in-memory, no file system access is required. This feature dramatically improves output speed and is especially of interest if TFORMer SDK is used as backend for PDF creation in web services. For an example check out the online QR-Code business card generator of TEC-IT.

New Features

In addition, TFORMer Designer V7 convinces through enhanced usability.
The software provides a new and easy-to-use page and layout setup wizard. Standard labels or simple reports are created with a few clicks, well-known brand label templates (e.g. Avery^®) are available.
Besides German and English, the new version also offers a Spanish user interface.

Rich Text with Super- and Subscript

To meet sophisticated output requirements, V7 also supports super- and sub-scripting as well as adjustable soft-hyphenation for rich text elements. Full-featured bar-code printing capabilities for linear and 2D bar-codes are integrated seamlessly in the product.

Reporting Software - The Release Candidate is Coming!

I would like to announce a new version of TEC-IT's barcode label and reporting software TFORMer.

What is New in V6.0.1?

• Brushed up User-Interface
  We updated the development environment to Visual Studio 2008. Thus, the features of the new Microsoft Foundation Classes are integrated into the report designer wherever it makes sense. And yes - it looks (& feels) good ;-)
• Splitted Setup
  TFORMer consists of TFORMer Designer (a visual layout editor with instant label and form printing functions) and a reporting SDK which is named TFORMer Runtime. We introduced separated setups in order to reduce the download size of the package.
• Update Checker
  TFORMer Designer now offers a function to detect the availability of a software update. You can trigger the update-check manually (Help menu).
• Bug Fixes
  Finally, some major and minor bugs were fixed: among them are a multi-threading problem in the report generator SDK, improved image compression for PDF output, improved JAVA interface, etc..

Check out this blog for the download. Most likely the release candidate V6.0.1 will be available next week. I attached a screen-shot as teaser, it shows TFORMer Designer with the German user interface.
