DocServer in PixEdit 7
The DocServer window processes documents at the same time as you are scanning or working manually with documents, and is a fully integrated part of PixEdit. DocServer can serve and process an unlimited number of folders that are continuously filled with documents from network scanners and/or multi functional devices. The most common use of DocServer however, is to process the last scanned batch from the current Twain scanner while you are scanning the next one. DocServer does this automatically in the background and your scanner is therefore always ready to scan a new batch.
Automatic updates
PixEdit now supports automatic checking for new versions and revisions. You will no longer receive e-mails when a new revision is available if you have subscribed to this service on our login page. Instead, you will see a small icon in the lower right corner of PixEdit, indicating if a new revision is available for download. To enable automatic checking, use Help, Check For Updates and check this option.
PDF/A Compact
You can now save your documents in a new file format called PDF/A Compact in PixEdit 7.7.0 revision. This file format offers between five and ten times smaller files than traditional PDF’s with JPG compression without any visible reduction in document quality. Saving files in this file format is easy - just specify PDF/A Compact in File SaveAs for manual save, or in the After Scanning dialog box if you use automatic saving. Need to reduce the size of your existing documents? Simply use the Batch Wizard to convert thousands of documents every hour automatically.
Forms Processing
The forms processing function in PixEdit enables you to capture information from scanned paper forms such as customer polls, for further processing in, for example, Microsoft Excel. You can extract information from existing files and/or from incoming files from a network scanner or directly during desktop scanning. Both single page and multi page forms are supported in color and black/white format. If your task is to process a huge amount of forms in a very short time, you can let several PixEdit licenses run on separate computers and process forms from the same “incoming” folder without access conflicts. You need to have PixEdit with OCR plug in in order to process forms.
