Hi,
As we enter the new year with the release candidate of Scriptura version 5, beta testers applaud the new look & feel
of the Eclipse environment. The new version of Scriptura will be available at the end of January.
In this issue
With the next version of Scriptura, Inventive enforces its strong vision towards the future.
Especially the use of the Eclipse platform was a strategic choice.
It makes Scriptura more:
- scalable
- built for the future
- intuitive
Thanks to Eclipse, Scriptura can be extended extremely easy. Because it is an open standard,
many applications will develop or already have an interface to Eclipse. This allows users to customize
the user interface easily and connect with legacy systems or other applications. Its intuitive look and feel
guarantees easier navigation through menus and wizards.
Another great new feature is the Post Processor. It allows for re-sorting, adding OMR and barcodes, merging and
splitting document streams and sending the same document in different formats through a variety of channels.
The number of custom modifications to the output is virtually unlimited.
The enhanced Form Reader applet reduces overall download sizes and speeds up processing time.
Next to enhanced performance, new features have been added to improve ease-of-use and personalization.
With these new features Inventive Designers strengthens its leading place in document solutions for batch and interactive use.

XSL-FO 1.1 Adds New Functionality
|
As a result of extensive experience with XSL-FO for printing and display XML — more than 20 commercial implementations (among which Scriptura)
supporting more than 50 languages — users and vendors alike called upon the XSL Working Group to standardize a number of popular, but proprietary, extensions.
These included support for back-of-the-book style indexed, revision bars, PDF bookmarks, conditional text "markers" in tables
(for example to support partial sums of financial data), access to the number of the last page of a group, and multiple flows on a page.
In addition to adding these features to XSL-FO 1.1, the XSL Working Group enhanced a number of XSL-FO 1.0 features, providing for multiple color profile references,
more complex page numbering schemes, and clarifications for internationalization. These changes, and the incorporation of corrected errata,
represent the incremental evolution of the XSL-FO 1.0 specification. The Working Group has made these changes with careful attention both to backwards compatibility and
to interoperability between existing implementations.
Research for XSL-FO 2.0 will be started this month.
After Wereldhave as the latest Dutch customer, NCCW also chose Scriptura as their main document solution.
This solution enables NCCW to provide an optimal output platform to commercially service their customers.
NCCW is the largest Dutch application service provider for the council-housing co operations.
They are the absolute market leader with over 75 percent of the Dutch market.
In the future, NCCW will use Scriptura for virtually all document communication.
