Is there some enhancement to populate fields or something like that?
that would be cool too for Xara to produce PDFs with forms

but seems that there's nothing like that actually ... ?

any ideas?

thx for answer - if this would come true - wow ! - where's the online shop....

Try it.

Hi John,

yes, you are right - for this i would not use this module if it forces me that the rest of my homepage gets ignored...and this exactly is the case because it forces the user to first put his eyes on this gadget before he can take a look at the rest...

Ditched my creditcard and I don`t have paypal. Hmm, have to figure out
how to pay now

...i had taken a look at it and it looks great!

Yes it is a big step forward for us webdesigners; but one serious question is:
Is this webdesign feature implemented in the next release of Xtreme Pro 5?
My answer is clearly yes it will be, if you see the similar look of the program interface and the politics of Xara:
For instance they selling
Screenmaker 3D - This one is implemented in XARA 3D
a part of XARA 3D is implemented now in Xtreme so i am quite shure that
Xara Webdesigner will make it into the next Version of Xtreme...
Everyone of us who had used Xara-Webstyle and Xtreme maybe had often thought: It would be great to combine to programs together and now, it seems that this step is succeed because of the similar interfaces and it is only a programers code away to implement both programs together!

So maybe the reason to wait for the next release of Xtreme, because it is shure that everyone of us will update to the next version, isn't it.

I don't think it's so straightforward. It might be more attractive commercially for Xara to reign back web feature development on Xtreme to encourage customers to buy both programs. They've kinda made a rod for their own back with this release - if Xtreme includes this new functionality, will Xtreme owners that upgrade Xtreme be paying twice over for these new features? Should Xtreme owners just wait and see what's on the way for Xtreme? Could this herald a return to illustration roots for Xtreme?

I think it could be a good juncture to channel development of future web features away from Xtreme. Interesting times, whatever they do.

That said, the new software looks like a great product and a bargain. It should sell like hot cakes and could well outperform Xtreme as a revenue engine.

Welcome to the Xtreme Conference bayoda

There is no form tool but as I pointed out in an earlier post, there is are several form gadgets which can be used to create forms.

The PDF export is not an option. I just had a peek.

Methods of Payment:

Also, for Paypal, just sign up on their site. It only takes 2 minutes or so. You don't need a credit card, you can transfer direct from your bank account to Paypal, then purchase from Xara with Paypal. Not a big deal once you've done it.

I'm buying it

Wow ! at that price, I am tempted to buy a copy myself.

I am new to web design, my concern would be, and maybe you experts in web design can help me out.

My concern is that the code this program outputs is it understandable and done correctly for any web designer to go in and add or edit using dreamweaver or other authoring software?

How is the code?
