As part of a project that may become apparent over the coming week, there
have been some updates to PrintPDF made available as test builds over the
past month or so. These have now turned into a release candidate, which is available to download from my website.

Besides some small cosmetic changes for the Style Guide and an update to the EUPL 1.2 licence, the new release should not affect normal use at all.

There are some bigger changes to the software hidden behind the scenes, however, so if any existing users would like to confirm this assumption (or prove it to be incorrect), a download of the candidate build db9e4ab can be found below the download of version 1.13 at

Thanks for your hard work.

Can I drop the new version(s) over the old to update or do I need to
start from scratch?

I can't take much of the credit for the work on this one! I'm releasing the update, but most of the effort came from the person who needed the new functionality...

As it's a test build, I'd be inclined to run it alongside your current
version. The settings are all stored in Choices, so you should be able to unpack the application to somewhere temporary and run it from there. That
way, you can get back to the normal version again just by double-clicking on that one instead (or re-booting).

Assuming things go to plan and no-one finds any issues, 1.20 is likely to be out in time for some event that's happening in Bradford next weekend. That could just be dropped on the old, but as no settings are inside the app, my preferred approach would be to move/rename the old version and drop the new into its place. That way, you don't have any issues with orphaned files or things falling foul of the Filer's newer option.

Thanks Steve. trialling the test version on Pi4 and RiscPC. I'll see what happens.
