EPWin
is a PDF "over print" utility. By using EPWin you can
take advantage of several modules that will enable you to over print
fixed or variable data onto your PDF forms. Once you have setup
an EPWin job, you then create a multi-page PDF file containing all
your specified data. The amount of pages to be created can be entered
by the user, or if a database has been used, select the option to
create the quantity as dictated by the number of records in the
database.
Once
you have opened a PDF file as your overlay form, you can start to
add any of the available EPWin modules to overprint your data ontop
of the PDF form. By using some of the powerful features, you can
easily and quickly produce those difficult and awkward variable
data jobs.
Take
advantage of the GRID feature, and you can soon create a page that
is divided into many sections. All EPWin modules will integrate
with the grid to enable repetition of the data within every cell.
If you are using the number module, you also have a unique feature
that allows the user to create columns of numbers; this is great
for those ticket jobs that need to be in numeric order after the
job has been guillotined.
Another
special feature of EPWin is the CYCLE routine. This is used when
creating your PDF output file. After you have specified the amount
of pages to create, you can then also specify the amount of cycles
to do. Once EPWin has gone through the first cycle, it will then
start the next cycle. However, unlike a copies count, which basically
duplicates, EPWin does not reset any of the modules that were used,
they continue from the last page of the previous cycle. This is
useful for printing books of tickets where you do not want the ticket
number to reset at the start of each book of tickets.

EPWin comes bundled with several modules, each module performing
a specific task of over-printing. These module's offer the user
numerous options and features to help you create that perfect page.
By combining a mixture of the modules and tailoring them to your
needs, you soon start to realize the potential that EPWin has to
offer.

Number
Module:
This
module caters for all your numbering situations. Enter a start
number, with or without leading zeros, left or right justified.
You can have a fixed number or an incrementing number. Choose
your font, size and colour, you can even draw the number at
any angle of your choice. |
 |
Date
Module:
If
you need a date, past, present or future, this module enables
you to display your date, with a multitude of formats and
styles. |
 |
Text
Module:
Use
the text module to overprint any additional text you require.
You can type in your text or if you already have the text available
in a text file, you can also import it into the module and save
on your typing. The text module allows you to specify an area
for your text, and EPWin will take care of all the text formatting.

Data
Module:
If
you have a database and you can export it as a .csv file format,
then EPWin will allow you to overprint the records onto your
PDF form. Using the field editor within the Data module, you
can specify which fields to use and exactly where they should
be positioned. Fields also have the choice of different fonts
and colours. |
 |
Mail
Module:
The
Mail module is similar to the Data module where it will take
your name and address database that has been exported as a .csv
file format. This module has the features to format your address
and offers you the option of adding 'Dear Sir/Madam' or build
the correct salutation from your database. |
 |
Barcode
Module:
Barcodes
can be quickly and easily created using this module.
Popular barcode types are catered for including Code39, EAN8,
EAN13 and EAN128. An incrementing barcode number can be used
to create a run of barcode labels. |
PDF
File Creation:
Once
you have finished setting up all your modules, EPWin can create
a PDF file containing only the overprinting data. This is necessary
if the user will be printing onto pre-printed stationery. However,
if you do require the PDF file to also contain your PDF overlay
forms, then you can specify to include the overlay at PDF file creation.
All this is fully automated, and a new PDF file is created containing
both the PDF overlays and your overprinted data.
Special
Note:
In
addition to the above list of modules, Scan Logic offers a bespoke
module service. If you as the user require a feature or special
need that is not currently catered for, please contact us to discuss
a possible solution.
