Webinar: priint:cloud
The priint:cloud simplifies and accelerates the complete creation process by automatically creating documents based on pre-defined rules and templates – See it live in our webinar!
Our Product Owner, Christian Krahn, will demonstrate to attendees how the priint:cloud works, new updates users can expect and when you should definitely think about the integration of the priint:cloud within your technical infrastructure:
Big Functional Features
This prerelease brings several significant, user-facing features to the platform. We'll highlight some of the most impactful ones below.
New Output Formats
Our document generation service will soon support two highly requested output formats:
- Microsoft PowerPoint (PPTX): Generate dynamic and editable presentations directly from your data.
- High-Resolution Images: Create individual image files (like PNG or JPEG) from each page of a generated PDF. This is perfect for sharing content in a more visual, easily consumable format.
Ad-hoc Project Testing
You'll be able to test project changes instantly within our Management app and VS Code plug-ins. This new feature lets you run quick tests without creating permanent project revisions, saving you time and streamlining your development and iteration process.
Complex Integrations
We've introduced robust support for complex delivery workflows.
- Bynder Digital Asset Management (DAM): A new, streamlined process will allow for direct and automated delivery of generated assets into Bynder DAM, making content management more efficient.
Expanded File Support
We've expanded the types of image files you can use in your projects.
- SVG and WEBP: You will soon be able to use SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) and WEBP images as input for your PDF generation projects, offering better quality and file size optimization.
Performance Improvements
For large-scale document production, we've implemented a Fanout/Aggregate feature.
- Parallel Processing: This new architecture will divide large tasks into smaller, manageable subtasks that run in parallel. The sub-results are then re-assembled into the final output document, significantly reducing processing time for high-volume jobs.
Medium Technical Features
These updates focus on improving the platform's underlying technical capabilities and developer experience.
- Improved Configuration and Secrets Management: We've implemented a more secure and flexible system for managing environment-specific variables and secrets, ensuring sensitive information is handled securely.
- Cross-Worker Variable Export: Variables from within a project can now be exported and shared with other workers (e.g., upload or callback workers), enabling more dynamic and interconnected workflows.
- Enhanced Error Reporting: The ticket status endpoint will provide more detailed information about errors, including specifics about upload or generation failures, making debugging much easier.
- Image Optimization with PIL: You'll be able to use the Python Imaging Library (PIL) to automatically reduce the file size of images within your generated PDF documents on demand.
- Configurable URL Escaping: The way content is escaped into URLs can now be configured to meet the specific requirements of target systems, with options for raw, URL-, JSON-, or XML-encoding.
Small Stuff
- Improved Documentation: We've updated our documentation to include OpenAPI specifications and Swagger UI, making it easier for developers to understand and interact with our APIs.
