Merlin Project: Base Costs Report as PDF

We received following question recently:

I’m using the latest version of Merlin Project on a mac and have created a project file where I needed to insert various base costs. I know Merlin Project sums them into planned, expected or actual base costs, but my client requested a detailed Base Costs Report to be printed or read in Preview or Acrobat Reader. The report should list all Base Costs on my project and export their properties. Is this possible?

To meet the requirement described above, you may use an AppleScript solution we developed.

Merlin Project: Create Project Handbook as PDF

We received the following question just recently:

I’m using the latest version of Merlin Project on a mac and have created a project file for a client. He has requested a project handbook to be printed or read in Preview or Acrobat Reader. The project handbook should list activities and attachments in a master–detail interface and export a set of predefined properties I am interested in. I don't mind if I need to use a script but I would like the action to do all works in one go; ie. iterate the items, extract the data and create the PDF. Is this possible?

One way to implement the customer's request would certainly be to use the File > Export > Image menu to export customized project views to PDFs or to call File > Print to print your documents.

However, to meet the requirement described above, an AppleScript solution developed by us comes in handy.

Allocate Subscription Payment

Billing Providers

In recent weeks, we have occasionally received cancellation requests due to recurring payments which the requester associates with a payment service. Although no products of our company are used, a corresponding subscription does not exist, we nevertheless get these cancellation requests.

What Might Be the Reason?

Grown up at last!

Happy 18th birthday, Merlin Project!

Like for everyone in Germany, the 18th birthday is also something special for our Merlin Project. Finally of age - finally grown up. Our project management software was released 18 years ago today and has lost none of its magic to this day. Happy birthday.

We could only achieve this together. Thanks to

• our developers for their thoughtful approaches and realization of functional wishes,
• our supporters for their fast, competent and always friendly help,
• our partners for their support and mediation,
• Frank Blome, our boss, who challenges and encourages us.

But our sincere thanks also go to you, our customers. You support us through your subscription, but also through your feedback in the further development of Merlin Project.

Without each and every one of you, Merlin Project would not still be the fun project management solution on the Mac and iPad that we enjoy working with. Thank you!
