Does the following sound familiar? You've been working on a file on your computer, sometimes for weeks non-stop, when an error message pops up. Suddenly the file appears to be damaged, i.e. a "corrupted" file. It is always inconvenient and very frustrating.
Avoid losing your time and your work. Follow these suggestions:
- Take regular backups. Store backups in the cloud, on a USB stick, or on an external hard drive.
- Do you work with shared folders? Avoid working with several people in the same document at all costs. How? You can do this by first saving documents from, for example, Google Drive or OneDrive on your desktop and then opening and editing this copy in SprintPlus. This way you avoid several students working in the same document e.g. someone who saves their changes, the software synchronizes,... This can cause a certain document to get corrupted.
This is probably because you have opened a photo PDF. There is no text available in such documents. SprintPlus will display the following message: 'There's no text information in this document. Please use OCR to make this document readable.'
To check for text in a PDF document use the function key F7. After pressing F7 coloured character indicators will outline the text information. If not, there is no text in your document and it will not be read by Sprint. Press F7 to make the outline disappear.
If there is no text in your document, you will need to use OCR software to convert the photo PDF to a readable text PDF.
When you enter text in SprintPlus, you create an extra layer in your pdf. You can only see this layer if you have SprintPlus or Sprint Viewer.
You can download Sprint Viewer for free here.
You can even prepare and improve the files with the Sprint Viewer, ideal for teachers. Note: you open your Sprint Viewer and afterwards, you can open the Sprintpdf's from "File" > "Open file" > choose your document.
Before formatting your PC you first need to remove your SprintPlus license. Start SprintPlus and go to the tab File > License manager. Fill in the serial number and click Next. Select 'I want to remove my license' and click Next. The number of available activations will be reset so you will be able to register your license again in the future.
Check what type of pdf you have. If you save a pdf as a secure pdf, you will not be able to print that document and that is irreversible.
To transfer a licence to another computer, you first need to deactivate the licence on the current computer. Launch SprintPlus and go to File > Info. Click Update license. Fill in the serial number and click Next. Select I wish to automatically remove this license by means of internet (recommended). Click Next and click Finish. The license has been removed and can be used on another computer.
If it is not possible to remove the licence over the Internet, you can request a removal code. Launch SprintPlus and go to File > Info. Click Update license. Fill in the serial number and click Next. Select I wish to request my removal code by telephone or I already have a removal code. Click Next. You will see a PC code in the following dialog box. Mail your serial number and PC code to unlock@jabbla.com or call us. You will get a removal code to deactivate you license.
