What We've Been Up To

It's been busy behind the scenes here. Here are a few tidbits.

First, the good news. We have a beta that's nearly ready. We are including some new options like color printing and some additional binding choices. The look of the site is changing a bit from our scrappy-looking style as well.

Second, the bad news. Files made with Acrobat 9 won't work right now. Acrobat 9 uses a new pdf structure that currently fails in our pdf reading code. While other pdf's work fine, the site will show an error if you attempt to upload a PDF created in Acrobat 9. You can check to see if your file is an Acrobat 9 file by opening the file in your PDF viewing software and selecting "Info" or "Inspector". If it says its created in Acrobat 9, then you know.

Now, more good news. We figured out what's going on, and found a solution for it. This solution will be worked into the beta and unfortunately will take a little longer because we have make some heavy duty changes to the current code.

When it's ready, we will have the new beta site working concurrently with the site we have now. Anyone following us on our blog or twitter will get the notification when it's ready. Or just send an email with "Beta Me" in the subject line to us here.

Cheers!
