Sketsa SVG Editor 6.0 / 6.1 Beta 1 provides you with a professional and powerful vector drawing application which is based on SVG. Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a graphics format and technology based on XML developed by W3C. With Sketsa, you can create vector graphics that can be scaled and printed at any resolution, without losing detail or clarity. You also get instant visual feedback on what you changed.

Sketsa features various tools for optimizing content creation, giving designers unsurpassed support for creativity. These tools include property palette, DOM editor, source editor, resources editor, SVG specific shape tools, transformation tools, and additional illustration tools.

Major Features:

1. SVG Native File Format and produces very clean XML code: Sketsa uses SVG as its native file format. SVG is an open standard language for describing two-dimensional (2D) graphics in XML developed by W3C. As being a XML grammar lets SVG benefit from the various XML tools that make it so easy to manipulate, generate, search and edit SVG files. Sketsa also produces very clean SVG XML code. It is not using any proprietary namespaces.
2. Tool Palette, Canvas, and Visual Design Tool: It features various tools for optimizing content creation, giving designers unsurpassed support for creativity. Its visual design tools allows designer to select, draw, and edit objects easily. It support SVG specific shape tools < rect>, < ellipse>, < line>, < polyline>, < polygon>, < text> and support additional illustration tools such as Pencil tool for freeform shape and Pen tool for curve shape. It also support transform type: rotate, skew, scale, and translate. Designer could easily and visually create or edit SVG artwork.
3. Object Property: Designer can quickly inspect and change object properties in one centralized location. The Object Properties contains several categories: Geometry, Stroke, Fill, and Filter. In each of the category you can change the value and automatically shown in the canvas. Depending on the object selected, it allow designer to change the geometry, stroke, fill, or filter effect properties such as geometry attributes, color, stroke width, opacity, fill rule, etc
4. Resource Editor: The resource editor is a centralized location of resources for the current or selected SVG document. It allows you to create Linear Gradient, Radial Gradient, and Filter. This is the place where object reuse is achieved. For example: Gradient or Filter element which could be applied to other SVG elements.
5. Source Editor with syntax highlighting: Although Sketsa allows designer to visually create and edit SVG artwork without worrying about underlying source code, Sketsa provide access to the underlying SVG source code. The integrated XML text editor allows them to view and edit SVG source code for greater control. It has built in SVG validation to ensure source code change are valid SVG Document.
6. Export to Raster or Bitmap: Sketsa allows you to export SVG artwork into raster image. It support JPEG and PNG format.
7. Plugins Support: Plugins supports allows Sketsa capabilities to be enhanced or extended by various plugins. For example Symbol Library Plugin or Emoticon Symbol.
8. Written in Java: Sketsa is a cross platform application that run on all popular operating systems. It runs on any platform which supports Java 1.4.2 eg: Microsoft Windows, Unix or Linux, etc.

Enhancements: This is a major release with many enhancements.

Requirements:

• Java 1.5 or higher
• 1024 x 768, 16-bit (thousands of colors) color display or higher
• Mouse or equivalent pointing device

The Big Faceless PDF Library is a Java class library for creating PDF documents. The Extended Edition of Big Faceless PDF Library offers the ability to create and edit AcroForms, PDFs answer to the HTML form.

Like HTML forms, PDF forms can contain text boxes, radio buttons, and can call JavaScript functions. The Extended Edition also includes a PDF reader for importing and editing, along with FDF support and verification for Digital Signatures.

Both variations offer full Unicode support, encryption, embedded TrueType and Type1 fonts, barcodes, hyperlinks, spot and calibrated color. Advanced text layout engine enables complex HTML styles. It is small, fast, easy to use, and 100% pure Java.

Enhancements:

• All BFO warning (and debug, if enabled) messages are now logged using log4j if available, or java.util.logging.* if not.
• Large synchronization audit fixed some issues when reading from one PDF in multiple threads, particularly when using the viewer.
• Fixed problem that could result in corruption when repeatedly saving a PDF containing compressed XRef tables and multiple revisions.
• Modified AnnotationStamp so Acrobat correctly handles custom stamps, and added some new types of standard stamp.
• Added FDF.getXFDF() method, for exporting XFDF from a PDF, and added support for this to the Viewer. Fixed FDF export, broken some releases ago.
• More PDF/A related fixes, and added a number of new OutputProfile.Features.
• Fixed RichText content in text fields
• Added subsetting for CFF fonts
• Fixed error with some Windows JDKs when rasterizing JPEG images
• Fixed unusual cases of Linear & Radial shading, added preliminary support for Coons & Tensor-Product Patch shading (Type 6 & 7).
• Fixed blending, broken in previous release and resulting in opaque highlight annotations.
• Correctly handle masked images where the mask and image are different sizes, as created by Luratech products.
• Added PageExtractor.Image.getUniqueId(), to identify extracted images.
• Added PageExtractor.Image.getMetaData() and Text.getFontMetaData(), to return any embedded XMP MetaData for those items in the PDF.
• Fixed long-standing bug in CCITT.G3 2D encoding now rarely seen in very old TIFF images.
• Further fixes to handle some types of corrupt PDF
• Viewer: Page Up/Page Down/Home and End keys navigate correctly through the PDF via the Viewport ActionMap. Standard ScrollBar keybindings are overridden, previous KeyListener approach didnt work reliably and was removed.
• Viewer: Fixed missing glyphs in some fonts after a search was run.
• Viewer: PDFTool (the class run by "java -jar bfopdf.jar") has more options.
• Viewer: Stamps no longer slowly grow when clicked on due to rounding error
• Viewer: Calling DocumentPanel.redraw(page) will work as expected.
• Viewer: Don't allow JavaScript to be run on the console if no PDF is loaded
• Viewer: Fixed page jump when zoom level is changed in Column view
• Viewer: Don't fail under 1.6 when saving PDFs to filenames containing an invalid regex backreference.
• Viewer: Improved display under OS X, including addition of a Dock Icon.
• Viewer: Added keyboard shortcuts to "Open Recent" menu.
• Viewer: Thumbnail panel now scrolls to follow the current page, and renders more reliably.

Major Features:

1. Upload and download speed test measurements
2. Connections often have different upload and download speeds, but most bandwidth tests only measure the download speed, providing only half the picture. MySpeed accurately reports both upload and download speeds.
3. Reports bandwidth consistency (QOS), Max Pause and Round Trip Time (RTT)
4. The consistency of download capacity is a critical measure for bandwidth-intensive applications such as VoIP and multimedia. MySpeed reports Quality of Service measurements of consistent bandwidth delivery. Max Pause, the longest pause recorded during the data download, and RTT are also reported.
5. Highly accurate
6. MySpeed has been carefully engineered and tested to accurately measure connection speeds. See the Broadband Speed Tester Benchmarks article.
7. Can be combined with scripting for customized implementations
8. MySpeed has the ability to call a JavaScript function when a speed test completes, enabling you to do most anything with the test results via JavaScript scripting, such as the options below. Try the live demo.
9. Dynamically changing the HTML in the MySpeed web page based upon speed test results
10. Provide connectivity analysis in a popup window
11. Redirecting to another URL based upon the results.
12. Easy implementation
13. Unlike other speed testers, MySpeeds innovative design does not require any scripts or configuration changes. Just add the MySpeed files to your existing web server!
14. Easy web page customization
15. MySpeed may be easily incorporated into your web pages, or modify the default MySpeed speed test web page to the look and feel of your website.
16. NEW! End-users can easily email test results
17. A bundled JavaScript option enables the end-user to easily send speed test results to your help desk staff or other address. Try the live demo.
18. VoIP Connection Analysis
19. Use MySpeeds bundled JavaScript option to analyze a broadband connection and determine the number of VoIP lines that can be supported. Modify the JavaScript as needed to fit your needs. Try the live demo.
20. Display connection quality test results in common terminology
21. Display connection quality (QOS), Round Trip Time (RTT) and Max Pause results in non-technical terms as Excellent, Good or Poor.
22. Automated start option
23. Seemlessly initiates a connection speed test when a visitor goes to your MySpeed page. Try the live demo.
24. Customizable display of speed test chart
25. Easily modify the applet display to change the speed test scale, show/hide text labels, change the applet colors, and more! You can even customize the MySpeed applet text to display in another language.

Enhancements:

• Max Attainable Speed (the calculated maximum TCP connect speed that is supported by a network connection)
• Max Route Speed (the maximum speed that may be attained on the route being tested)
• TCP Forced Idle Percent (the TCP idle time invoked because the route being tested is too slow end-to-end).

Built on top of the Big Faceless PDF & Graph Libraries, the Report Generator combines these features and wraps an XML parser around them. Using JSP, ASP, XSL, or similar, creating dynamic PDF documents directly from a database is now as easy as HTML.

BFO's Java Reporting tool provides some of the most comprehensive and advanced XML to PDF conversion on the market.As the XML is based on XHTML and uses CSS the learning curve is drastically reduced - report designers don't have to learn an entirely new grammar, so are up and running quicker.

The "two-stage" system of first generating the XML and then converting it to PDF means you can generate XML with any tool, although JSPs are the natural choice. This means you have access to the full range of Tag Libraries designed for JSP. Database connectivity is all taken care of before the XML conversion begins, so you can use whatever method you prefer to get your information from the backend into XML. The whole process is remarkably simple.

Major Features:

1. HTML-style Tables auto-sized nested tables with full control over padding, margins and borders
2. Use cascading CSS2 stylesheets to control look and feel
3. Create inline graphs and charts with XML, direct from the database
4. Includes a servlet and a servlet filter for simple generation of PDFs from XML or JSP pages.
5. Auto pagination of content with page headers and footers
6. Familiar HTML syntax < a >, < ul >, < p >, < table >, < td > and so on simpler and faster than FOP
7. All the features of the PDF library Unicode support, Encryption, TrueType fonts, Barcodes and more

Enhancements:

• No changes to the Report Generator layer
• Built with PDF library 2.11.6, Graph Library 1.1.6

Requirements:

• Java 2 Standard Edition Runtime Environment
• SAX parser
