We have improved the handling of mask images in Design Online. For each image block in a PDF template file, you can assign a mask. The mask image is placed on top of the image selected by the end-user and the customer's image is displayed through the image mask.

The Print Science Design Online server now offers a function to merge a template file with a database file. This is similar to the Microsoft Word mail merge function but is performed on high-resolution PDF files instead of low-resolution Word files.

We have upgraded the online file upload method. The new file upload method allows your customers to upload multiple files at the same time.

The new file upload method is based on Flash technology. Those users that do not have Flash installed in their browser, will automatically be switched to the old, non-flash upload page.
