I need someone to adapt the following software in a few ways: [login to view URL] The reason for this project is that we want to create a printer driver that will stream-line the process of submitting PDF documents to our servers. Therefore, the user should have the following experience: When he installs the software, he will register/log in using an email and password and a few extra informations. These will be submitted to our server using a REST api (documentation will be provided). A userID will be stored locally so the user does not need to log in every time. When the user wants to send us a document, he will press print in whatever program he is in. Choose to print with the modified PDFcreator (this feature already works in PDFcreator). After that he will get a dialog box where he can write a comment about the document and make a choice in a radio button (new feature). When clicking a "send" button he will see a progress bar (which is not a modal dialog box, but can be in the background if he does not want to wait)(new feature). When the document has been successfully submitted (meaning that the software received a "success" code from the server), a tooltip should show up saying that the document was successfully submitted (new feature I think). In the case, where there is some sort of error, the PDF document should then be saved to the desktop and the user should get a dialog box saying that he needs to submit the document manually (new feature). You need to take care that the solution is compatible with all the same versions of windows as the current PDFcreator and that the installation process is not more difficult than the current version. You need to push your solution to a repository on GitHub and transfer ownership of this repository to my user (fosils). We also need the following adjustments: - Re-brand so the name PDFcreator will never appear, nor any other reference to the current brand names. New names splash-screen, icons etc. (we will provide) - Remove all add-ons and extra features, whích are not strictly related to the functionality described here. We will for example not have any settings/options, everything will be pre-configured. This part will probably be the most time-consuming part of this project. You need send the latest code to GitHub every second day (except for weekends and holidays you have notified me about at least a few days before) so I can see that progress is being made. If you fail to make an update in five days without prior notice, I will assume that you have abandoned the project, and I will cancel it.
