plug-ins and tools for 4D

4D Line

		4D Line is an easy-to-use tool for implementing bitmap drawing on 4th Dimension layouts. It lets your users create and modify bitmap pictures. Uses of 4D Line are multiple: -Create plans -Display statistics and graphs -Collect signatures and handwritten notes through scanners, graphics tablets or touchscreens -Modify external picture documents -Modeling -Etc.

AreaList Pro

		AreaList Pro provides capabilities not available in native 4D such as horizontal scrolling, user-resizable columns, automatic column sizing and formatting, copy to the clipboard, drag and drop interfaces, and more. The contents of a list can even be altered directly by entering data into the AreaList Pro area using typed characters and popup menus, with full control over data entry.

CalendarSet

		CalendarSet is an easy-to-use tool for implementing calendars on 4th Dimension forms. CalendarSet's plug-in interface is fast and intuitive, and provides capabilities not available to the developer using native 4D commands and objects.

DataCheck

		DataCheck v4 is the most powerful and quickest 4D data checking and data fixing tool available. As well as being the best damage detection tool available for 4D data files (it accesses the raw 4D data structures on disk), it is also the premier tool for diagnosing non-damage data problems, such as "gremlins" [nonprintable chars in data] and NANs [not-a-number numbers], and bad booleans [booleans that are neither true nor false!], and Type Mismatches [when the type of a field in your structure file does not match the type of the record field in your data file]

DisplayList

		DisplayList is now included into AreaList Pro version 9 and is no longer available as a separate product.

FaxPack for 4D

		FaxPack provides complete and reliable fax integration directly within 4D. Since 1996, FaxPack has been the 4D Developer's choice for production environments with heavy faxing requirements. 4-Sight FAX version 7 provides customers with a TCP/IP based fax server allowing the sending and receiving of faxes via any Internet connection. Today, FaxPack is used heavily in automated faxback systems, marketing and customer information systems and a large variety of real-time service systems within demanding businesses. 4D Developers appreciate its easy integration and rock-solid performance. FaxPack 7.6 is a Universal Binary plug-in which runs native on Intel Macintosh as well as PPC Macintosh machines. The Universal Binary architecture also provides improved performance for all FaxPack commands, although speed improvement for processor intensive commands are tenfold or greater. FaxPack 7.6 includes a new fax archival command allowing developers to archive incoming or outgoing faxes in either Tiff or PDF format. Programmers can specify a fax or a group of faxes to be archived, based on any criteria, freeing the incoming and outgoing queues for the most current or relevant faxes. The FaxPack Switch printer command has been updated for compatibility and optimized with the latest Leopard & Lion versions of Mac OS X. This command provides automated printer switching from both Filemaker Pro and 4D applications. All new FaxPack 7.6 commands are built to work with 4-Sight FAX Server version 7.5 or later. In conjunction with 4-Sight FAX, FaxPack users enjoy complete faxing solutions within their database. The integral FaxPack plug-in provides an ideal solution for companies needing one-step fax sending of database forms to their customers. In addition, FaxPack applications commonly retrieve, view and check the status of a fax. With an Internet connection, customers also have unlimited accessibility, sending, receiving and retrieving faxes from anywhere in the world.

Grammatica 4D Write

		Grammatica 4D Write is a plug-in for 4D 2004.7 and above, adding live grammar checking as well as a powerful extended spelling check compared to the basic built-in spelling-only 4D checking module. Grammatica 4D Write v1.0.3 requires 4D 2004.7 or above

Inside4D

		Inside4D is a x-reference tool for 4D developers. Unlike 4D Insider, Inside4D is implemented as a 4D plug-in. Inside4D can display all objects used in database structure, including comments, operators, language elements or string and numeric constants. 4D 2004 compatible.

Internet ToolKit

		Internet ToolKit (ITK) is an inexpensive yet extremely powerful plug-in for 4th Dimension that allows you to transform any 4D database into an Internet server or client. ITK can be used in all 4D products to provide complete TCP/IP connectivity for your application. You can use ITK to implement FTP (File Transfer Protocol) servers, email (using SMTP and POP3), news servers, mailing list, and Web clients. You can even design your own custom TCP/IP protocols, to implement application-to-application communications like data synchronization thanks to its low-level approach. Utility commands are provided to convert PICT to GIF, encode files using MacBinary, BinHex or uuencode, and to convert text to HTML, with options for URL encoding and ISO character conversions, Base64, Quoted Printable, etc. ITK adds more than 110 commands to 4th Dimension's language, enabling low and high level control of TCP/IP stacks, including UDP, DNS and SSL.

MenuPack

		MenuPack provides the ability to create and manage custom menus and popups, including complete hierarchical menu support.

Ole4D

		Create, display and manage OLE and ActiveX objects in 4D applications.

PDF Direct

		PDF Direct, version 3, is available as both a PDF print driver and a database plug-in. The print driver is designed to work independently from, as well as with, the database plug-ins. The database plug-ins are designed for direct printing of PDF files from within Filemaker Pro and 4th Dimension database application environments. The PDF Direct Print Driver for Windows The PDF Direct print driver is sold separately from our plug-in products. It can be licensed under a one-time fee, as a low-cost print driver alternative to individuals or companies needing general PDF print requirements. The PDF Direct Windows Print Driver is also available for general use for the printing of PDF files from any Windows or Macintosh application outside of 4D and Filemaker Pro. PDF Direct Plug-in Deployment The PDF Direct plug-in is available today for 4th Dimension, v2004 and 4D v11/v12. The PDF Direct plug-in and PDF Direct plug-in for Filemaker Pro are available on both the latest operating system releases of the Windows and Macintosh platforms. The PDF Direct Windows Print Driver is automatically included with the purchase of a PDF Direct plug-in deployment license. A PDF Direct plug-in deployment license can be purchased once a developer license is purchased. Deployment licenses are both server-based and unlimited in scope (OEM deployments). Both licenses are renewable annually. 4th Dimension (4D) plug-in The PDF Direct plug-in for 4D provides the ability to print a PDF document directly from within a 4D database. Using PDF Direct, 4D developers can programmatically name and deliver any 4D Print job, with appropriate specifications, into an Adobe Acrobat ?PDF? format file.This capability is possible through a set of PDF Direct programming commands that communicate directly with designated compatible PDF print drivers. Benefits of Printing PDF Files Direct from a Database Portable Document Format (PDF) is the most commonly used document format in the world and the most widely used format for viewing on-line documentation. Using PDF Direct, 4D Developers can programmatically name and deliver any 4D Print job, with appropriate specifications, into an Adobe Acrobat ?PDF? format file. The PDF format has great appeal when paper or a ?hardcopy? is not required for the intended readers. With the predominance of email and Adobe's free Acrobat Reader, attaching a PDF document within an email transmission is universally appealing because of it's speed and thrift. Similarly, in comparison to a faxed document, PDF has no loss of resolution as it delivers your documents with the exact same definition in which they were created. PDF supports color, grayscale and, in general, preserves the creator's document with no loss of definition regardless of the reader's computer platform. PDF Direct supports color & grayscale and generally preserves the creator's document with comparable definition regardless of the user's computer platform. On Macintosh OS X, PDF Direct utilizes the OS X operating system's PDF creation capabilities. While PDF Direct gives Developers access to PDF document printing capabilities directly from within Filemaker Pro and 4D, these print capabilities should not be confused with the direct construction of a PDF document using PDF language and commands. This type of ground-up, complex, piecemeal building and construction of a PDF document is not a feature of PDF Direct. NOTE: PDF Direct print driver or PDF-Xchange are required print drivers for PDF Direct to run correctly from the PDF Direct plug-in (i.e., when accessed programmatically from a database). The PDF Direct plug-in does not work with Acrobat and Distiller. Previously, our plug-in worked with PDF Writer, however, this product is no longer available. Important: The PDF Direct print driver is an excellent tool for end-user database PDF printing needs. The PDF Direct print driver does not provide hyperlink support for table of contents, high resolution vector graphics output and optimized file sizes. PDF XChange versions 3 and 4 print drivers are Windows-based and are fully compatible with the PDF Direct v3 Windows plug-in(s).

PDF-Tools

		Allowing both the creation (from Image file formats, Image Scanners/Webcams and text files etc) and the manipulation of Adobe compatible PDF files, PDF-Tools is an ideal tool to compliment your existing PDF creation application or as a "stand alone" tool in it's own right! PDF-Tools requires no additional 'plug-ins' or applications such as Adobe Acrobat or Distiller. Also available as part of a convenient 'bundled' package with PDF-XChange Pro.

PDF-XChange

		A solution for the creation of Adobe compatible PDF files from virtually any Windows software such as MS Word, Excel, AutoCAD, MS Publisher etc, the list is endless ! We offer 3 versions of PDF-XChange to meet the needs of different user types, Lite, Standard and PRO. PDF-XChange acts as a printer, but instead of the output going to paper in the conventional manner - it is captured and re-directed to create a fully compatible, Text Searchable, Adobe PDF File (subject to the source material being readable - image files remain non text-searchable). You also receive MS Office integration allowing extra functionality such as clickable Table of Contents (TOC) and embedded URL support (i.e. 'Click Here' style links) + Office to PDF - a batch converter allowing the conversion of Multiple files to PDF that are MS Office Supported formast such as .doc, .xls, .rtf, .html, .txt etc...

PrintList Pro

		PrintList Pro is an easy-to-use tool for printing arrays and records on 4th Dimension layouts. As with AreaList Pro, PrintList Pro provides capabilities not available in native 4D, such as automatic column sizing, custom formatting, robust break level processing and more. PrintList Pro is the perfect complete to AreaList Pro, providing a full-featured plug-in which can be used to print columns of data. You can use PrintList Pro for any standard columnar output (arrays or fields) and it be configured to easily print an AreaList Pro object - retaining all formatting features. Version 4.7.1 fixes various bugs, simplifies the license system and brings an overall better stability.
