You don’t have to wait for WinTOTAL 5.0

Coming in a special update we'll release later this month, you'll find a revolutionary new print engine that we actually developed for the new WinTOTAL 5.0. Rather than hold it for release with WinTOTAL 5.0 - which anyone with a support contract will get for free - the productivity enhancement and time savings this new engine offers was important enough that we wanted to get it to you as soon as possible.

A couple weeks ago we mentioned the coming of a new WinTOTAL PDF creator, not to be confused with PDF Publisher we had several years ago. This imbedded PDF creator is part of the new print engine, and a favorite of our beta testers. The speed increase in creating PDF files is staggering. Plus, this means you won't need to buy more copies of Adobe® in the future, and new appraisers won't need to drop the $200 to get it somewhere else.

One of our beta appraisers did a side by side test between Adobe® and WinTOTAL's PDF creator. He used an 18 page report - full 1004, three maps and three picture pages. WinTOTAL printed the PDF in less than half the time of Adobe®. But the PDF creator is only part of the deal. Look for "WinTOTAL 5.0" interface improvements and new time-saving and productivity-enhancing options. The new interface is designed to give you greater flexibility in the way you print. From the new Print screen you'll be able to:

• Rearrange forms in your report
• On a per form basis, set which forms go to which of your printers
• On a per form basis, decide whether a form should be in the Table of Contents page and in your report's page numbering
• Configure what type of file number to print on every page
• Save printer and layout schemes so you don't have to constantly configure the way you want your report to print
• Watermark the photos in your report at print time
