About
ScriptX has been developed to provide absolute control over
document printing operations from client and server computers
running Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser on Windows. Part of
its purpose is to ensure the consistent formatting and appearance
of printed output from any local or networked printer, regardless
of the printing attributes already set in that computer's
browser.
- ScriptX applies a document author's desired
attributes -- header, footer, margins, orientation etc. -- at the
time of printing browser window or framed content, but then
automatically restores all default settings and makes no other
permanent changes.
- ScriptX offers a broad choice of printing options,
including the ability to target (where known) a particular printer,
paper source and paper type & size for simplex or duplex
printing. It also enables the printing of documents stored in
remote locations, which can be queued for printing without having
to be rendered in the user's browser.
- ScriptX provides for the closely-controlled
printing of HTML and XML-based documents - either 'stored' at an
Internet or intranet address or displayed in the browser - together
with the enhanced printing of PDF (Adobe Acrobat) files
[cost-option] and the basic printing of Microsoft Office
documents.
- A basic subset of ScriptX printing functionality
-- header & footer settings, printed orientation, coarse
control of margins and a browser window/frame printing command --
is available at no charge, and is freely distributable. Advanced
printing functionality is not free. ScriptX-enabled documents need
to refer to a valid publishing license in order for advanced
printing to work.
A Resource Kit containing the 'free' control and a link to an
evaluation publishing license which will let you test all of
ScriptX' advanced capabilities from file:// or from
http://localhost/ is available from the Download area. Existing licensees can also
download and deploy the latest build from the Download area at no
additional charge.
