Creating letterhead settings
In quite some occasions a key-user is responsible for making letterhead settings including letterhead sets (for more information: Fabreasy setup -> button [Advanced options] -> button [Help].
Please note: the letterhead files should be accessible by all users using the same path: X:\letterhead\letterhead.pdf
(where x:\letterhead is e.g. a location on the network)
Sharing the settings
When the key-user is done making the settings it is possible to save these settings using the export option: Fabreasy setup -> tab ‘About’ -> button [Export settings] -> file name e.g., FABREASY_SETTINGS.DAT
Manually these setting can be used by using [Import settings] in the same menu on another PC.
If you want these setting to be imported automatically this can be done using the following command:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\fabreasy\Fabreasy_ImpExp.exe” Import X:\letterhead\FABREASY_SETTINGS.DAT
(please note this is a single line command)
Inserting a license automatically
If you want to enter license using a command, you could do this using the following command:
cd “C:\Program Files (x86)\fabreasy”
Fabreasy_utility.exe C:\fabreasy\license.txt
Assuming the file ‘license.txt’ contains the relevant license data as provided.
A real life scenario
A company having multiple employees using stand-alone laptops wanted to distribute their settings and license key on the local laptops. The following method was applied.
All PDF letterhead files were stored on the local PC e.g.
C:\fabreasy
All setting were made using the letterhead files accessible via the local folder.
Export the settings: Fabreasy setup -> tab ‘About’ -> button [Export settings] -> file name c:\fabreasy\SETTINGS.DAT
The license file was stored in the same folder
C:\fabreasy\license.txt
Enter command lines into a script e.g. insert_settings.cmd
C:\fabreasy\insert_settings.cmd
Containing:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\fabreasy\Fabreasy_ImpExp.exe” Import C:\fabreasy\settings.dat
cd “C:\Program Files (x86)\fabreasy”
Fabreasy_utility.exe C:\fabreasy\license.txt
Please install Fabreasy PDF Creator first on the local machine and start the script next (C:\fabreasy\insert_settings.cmd).
