December 2011 Features & Fixes


Features

SendMyAd

  • Ad Creator: New ability to fit an image to frame by most appropriate dimension.
  • Ad Creator: New ability to change the size of images by entering width and height parameters. All apect ratios are kept the same.
  • Tablet Ads may now be delivered when they are completed.
  • "Invite Advertisers" button moved to the publisher dashboard.
  • Separate file uploads for spread-sized ad specs are now possible. Ad sizes where page coverage is larger than a single page will have a new setting to allow separate file uploads. The user will then have a choice to upload separate files or to upload a single page spread as they have done in the past. Watch the screencast for details.

  • Page merge tool: Ability to bring items forward and backwards on layers in the merge tool.
  • Page merge tool: Now when clicking on images the frame outline is more similar to indesign. The bleed becomes visible and is grayed out of the frame. 
  • Page merge tool: Better guide dragging and guides stay placed while zooming. (This will come to the trim tool soon)
