5. When opening a file

When the user chooses to open a document form, he or she can now choose one or as many files as required:

6. Modifications in different dialogs

Under the Tools menu :
i) Preferences -> File storage

In the File storage section of the Preferences dialog box, there are 2 new settings for the user.

The first one is the choice for the default location to save the PDF files. Two options are available:

1) In the same directory as its document
2) In the PDF subfolder

The second one is File password protection, for which there is no password by default. If the user selects it, then he/she will need to enter a password each time in order to save the file.

If the file contains a password, the user will be prompted to enter the password to open the file.

ii) Preferences -> Interface

A new setting is now available to the user regarding the Docking contents section: Registry override file's docking information.

If this option is ticked, this means that if there is some docking information recorded into the current document, they won't overrun the registry information. If unticked, it means that the document docking information will be overriding the registry docking information.

7. Bug issue resolved in this version

In the previous version of DT FormMax, a bug affected the field behavior regarding data entry, which caused the system to unintentionally remove the first character of the next field when a numeric value was entered. This bug has been fixed in the new version of the program.
