Finally done for the day.
Dec. 29th, 2016 23:51It took me about twenty-four hours, but I finally got a pet project finished for the DayJob.
Anytime you finance a vehicle, there's about a dozen forms that have to be filled out, right? Since all that information is already in our system, we have a PDF of each form and the system fills them out automatically.
The pet project is an interface that allows us to map recordset data onto a PDF form by clicking and dragging and then saving the new file. Before you could click and drag and it would give you the x/y coords, but you had to copy and paste them into the file yourself. Now it's all automatic. Probably the most useful interface I've ever designed, and I'm pretty happy. It will save oodles of time, where "oodles" is any number greater than zero and less than infinity. It's a fairly large number, I'm thinking. Using it, I was able to make adjustments on a 50 point form in just about half an hour. It would have taken at least two hours the old way.
Go me.
Other than that, I'm sorry to say, today wasn't a good day.( Courtesy snip so you can avoid aspergers angst if you want to... )
Tomorrow will be better. Friday, right?
