  • Further addresses printing issues on Windows systems where the use of GDI+ for text anti-aliasing had created printing issues as well as various image refresh issues in both the Setup and Update windows. In some cases, the application of Borders and Watermarks would fail as well.
  • Also updated is PrintRipper's settings file format, paving the way for the possibility of many new features to be added in future versions.

New in PrintRipper 1.3.1 (Sep 24, 2010)

  • Version 1.3.1 fixes an issue where PrintRipper would not register changes made to text output selection.
  • Also addressed in version 1.3.1 is a far more forgiving registration window.In previous versions, users were required to match case and format exactly as given in their initial registration request. PrintRipper's registration will help users by auto-formating and correct case in their input, making the activation process much easier.
  • PrintRipper 1.3.1 also ships with an update to its Reset Tool. The PrintRipper Reset Tool will no longer remove registration files, requiring a user to re-activate their installation.
