  • Changed: When editing cells in the pages list, tabbing now selects the next editable cell. Shift tabbing selects the previous editable cell, across rows when appropriate.

  • Fixed: Re-installed factory provided slot creep indexes in the factory provided default imposition templates. (If you had an earlier version of PDFClerk Pro installed, you'll need to remove the PDFClerkPro Impositions.plist file from the Application Support->PDFClerk folder to gain the indexes as this removal will cause a fresh copy of the factory provided templates to be installed. Note that if you have created custom templates, or changed the factory provided ones, then you will lose those changes.
  • Fixed: MS Word documents can again be dropped onto the PDFClerk Pro application icon or onto the page list of an open PDFClerk Pro document.
