Product Platform: MacOS,MacOSX

Used Product For: 6-12 months

Recommend Product: NO

This sounds like a very appealing and easy app. It is easy, and it works like a charm on toy examples. But give it a real-world, multipage document and it fails to repeat the entire document contents for each record.

I contacted the author and was told they were able to repro my problem. Yay! I was hopeful. But several follow-up enquiries over the following months were ignored. If this was a freeware app, I'd be more generous, but with this outrageous price tag, I expect it to work - or my money back.

Note that the xsl requires that you export fields in a certain order, which is a left-over from the old, old Filemaker xml schema. But more modern Filemaker versions export a more sensible xml that, with an intelligently designed xsl, do not require the manual work of ensuring that fields are exported in a particular order. This is more evidence that this is abandonware - again, that's fine for freeware, but at that price...!

Bottom line: Do not buy this.
