"Enhance with Connect" option added for PDFfiles in Windows Explorer
A Windows Explorer context menu entry "Enhance with Connect" has been added for PDF
files. When a user selects this context menu entry, PrintShop Mail Connect Designer opens
with a prefabricated template, that uses the selected PDF file as the background. (SHARED-

Support added for Remote HTML and JSON Snippets
In PrintShop Mail Connect 1.7.1 we introduce the concept of remote snippet resources. These
snippet entries have a Name and URL property (e.g., the hyperlink to the endpoint) and reside
in the Snippets folder located in the Resources panel.
In scripts these snippet entries are referenced just like regular snippets, e.g., loadhtml
('snippets/my_content.rhtml') or loadjson('snippets/posts.rjson'). Note the “r” in the file
extension.
Having the snippet entry in the Snippets folder within the Resources folder allows us the
simplest overview of the resources used. In previous versions this behaviour would have had to
be captured in script and therefore would not have been directly visible as part of the resources.
This new approach greatly simplifies maintenance of the URL, as it can now simply be updated
in the Resources panel rather than by browsing through all the scripts. (SHARED-
