One feature that I particularly like is its attention to dimensions: shown above when working on an embedded image, and below in its special Ruler tool, which tells you the distance between any two points on a page. At first, I found its editing tools a little idiosyncratic, but after some use they feel more comfortable. However, as the app has good scripting support, this is something which might readily be automated in AppleScript.Įditing is definitely PDFpenPro’s great strength. If you’re preparing a long document for publication, you’ll still need to work through it page by page removing them manually. Unfortunately, PDFpenPro doesn’t have a command to strip out all annotations. PDFpenPro is more signature-aware, for example noticing that a certificate in a test file had a trust issue. Although that isn’t traceable back to a Certificate Authority, it should provide reasonable assurance of the integrity of the protected PDF. You can, for what it’s worth, self-sign using your own certificate generated by the macOS Certificate Assistant. The snag here is that they need to be Mac-compatible: SmileOnMyMac advises that only DigiCert and GlobalSign seem to meet that at present, although this is worth checking with potential providers before investing in their product. Its support for signatures is also more extensive, as you can install Mac-compatible digital signatures which can then be used to sign its documents. Those working with publishers who still expect these to be used should be delighted with them. Options for viewing documents aren’t as dynamically flexible as those in PDF Expert, but are well-covered as global settings in its preferences.Īnnotation tools include a marvellous user-extensible library of marks, which includes a full set of traditional editing marks. PDFpenPro is designed primarily as a PDF editor, with a friendly modern interface based on highly-configurable toolbars. This article looks briefly at its main features and limitations, running version 10.2.1 on macOS Mojave 10.14.3. PDFpenPro 10 is the fuller-featured version of the two PDF apps offered by SmileOnMyMac in the Mac App Store, costing around £/$/€ 125. To send a file, 3-argument syntax is needed, the last argument is a file name, that normally is taken from user filesystem for.The set method removes fields with the same name, append doesn’t.We can either create new FormData(form) from an HTML form, or create an object without a form at all, and then append fields with methods: SummaryįormData objects are used to capture HTML form and submit it using fetch or another network method. The server reads form data and the file, as if it were a regular form submission. That’s same as if there were in the form, and the visitor submitted a file named "image.png" (3rd argument) with the data imageBlob (2nd argument) from their filesystem. So it makes sure there’s only one field with such name, the rest is just like append:Īlso we can iterate over formData fields using for.of loop:įormData.append("image", imageBlob, "image.png") set removes all fields with the given name, and then appends a new field. There’s also method set, with the same syntax as append. formData.has(name) – if there exists a field with the given name, returns true, otherwise falseĪ form is technically allowed to have many fields with the same name, so multiple calls to append add more same-named fields.formData.get(name) – get the value of the field with the given name,.lete(name) – remove the field with the given name,.formData.append(name, blob, fileName) – add a field as if it were, the third argument fileName sets file name (not form field name), as it were a name of the file in user’s filesystem,.formData.append(name, value) – add a form field with the given name and value,.We can modify fields in FormData with methods: The server accepts the POST request and replies “User saved”. In this example, the server code is not presented, as it’s beyond our scope.
