Meridian rendition streams are supported as a destination system. Vault documents can be rendered and stored as renditions of the same documents.
SharePoint is supported as a source system in addition to the previous support as a destination system. A solution package can be installed in SharePoint to show Publisher commands and options in the ribbon within SharePoint.
Legacy module – A wrapper for custom Visual Basic 6 publishing modules that were developed for Publisher 2009a and prior. This makes the modules compatible with the present generation of Publisher.
AutoCAD rendering module – Layouts, pen tables, and hardcopy output options have been added. An AutoLISP function is provided to render drawings to Navisworks NWD and 3D formats.
MicroStation rendering module – Macro support has been added to give greater control of the rendering output.
VBScript publishing and rendering options – The BlueCielo Meridian system link now supports the _CDWF_<WorkflowDefinitionName>;<WorkflowStateName>_,_RETIRE_, _NORELEASE_, and _DATA_ONLY_ publishing options. The _NORENDER_, and _NOPOSTRENDER_ options have been added to the rendering modules. For more information, see the BlueCieloPublisher Administrator’s Guide.
Highly configurable watermark features have been added that can modify PDF output after rendering:
Electronic signatures can be applied on the rendition or a separate signature page.
Overlaid text can be applied on the rendition.
Print stamp text can be calculated using JavaScript and applied to the rendition.
Prior revisions of renditions can be watermarked to indicate their revised status.
Publisher computer clustering for maximum performance. Publishing job definitions can be divided among multiple Publisher computers to perform parallel rendering.
Near real-time publishing for critical documents.
The times shown when viewing a document’s details in the Publisher queue now appear in local time. The time values stored in the Publisher database remain in UTC format.
