Features included in this release

This version introduces the following new features: -

Support for Office 2007.  Zetafax v2007 provides integration with Outlook, Word and Excel 2007.  The Zetafax Client is also able to render the new Word and Excel file formats (.docx, .xlsx, etc.) during fax creation.

• Support for Exchange 2007.  The Zetafax v2007 Connector for Exchange 2007 is installed as part of the Zetafax Server, reducing the number of components that need to be installed on the Exchange machine.  The Exchange-side components can now be copied onto the machine and configured manually.

• Windows Vista Support.  Both the Zetafax Client and Zetafax Server are supported on Windows Vista Business, Enterprise and Ultimate editions.

• Combined Client Install.  The Zetafax Client, Outlook and Office integration and Fax Broadcast have been combined into a single Zetafax Client Applications installer, making deployment much easier.

• Automatic System Failover.  You are able to setup Zetafax in a Primary and Backup Server configuration.  If the Primary Server should fail, fax processing can switch to the Backup automatically, ensuring that your faxes are still processed.

• Support for the latest Brooktrout Intelligent Fax Boards.

• Automatic User Creation.  Zetafax can now be configured to allow new Zetafax users to create their account automatically, i.e. without Administrator intervention.

• PDF rendering at the Zetafax Server has been improved.

• Route to network folder.  You are now able to route inbound faxes to a specified folder based on the recipients fax number.

• Improved admin features.  The Zetafax Server Monitor UI and usability has been improved, making it easier to access common features and simpler to switch language.
