Black Ice Software announces release of the Printer Driver version 16.40 with the greatly anticipated document content based file naming!

The content based file naming has far reaching implications on many fields such as accounting, billing, invoicing, medical applications, and database indexing where the document file name MUST reflect critical information such as invoice number, or purchase order number in the document name such as “ACM invoice 00899654.PDF”.

The content based file naming enables users to control indexing of their documents based on the actual document name; most commonly used are invoice number, purchase order or patient number, all without additional manual processing of the document.

User selectable Content Filtering of the document name comes in handy when printing from applications that place the application name front of document name such as Microsoft Word or Crystal Reports. By default these are automatically filtered out some commonly used application document name such as Microsoft Word or Crystal Report. User can configure specific document name filtering for other applications names.

The SMTP Email Sender module includes many new features similar to MS Outlook. The body of the emails text can now be easily edited emails. The email text characteristic can be modified or selected such as font’s type and size from a simple drop down window. Buttons have also been added to allow email text to be Bold, Italic or Underlined. The SMTP email sender will remember you last edit selection just like Outlook for future use.

One of the usability improvements added to customers is to display Maintenance/Support contract expiration date information on the Print Manager General Tab.
