Export for multi-page PDFs documents with an undefined number of pages
This feature increases efficiency when scanning large multipage documents and converting them into searcheable PDFs. The export approach for large PDFs (introduced in the previous release) has been modified: Even if the number of pages of the document sent for processing is not known, the recognition session can still be created. When scanning multipage documents, the number of pages in a document is typically known only after the scanning step is completed. The modified new export API allows sending pages for recognition even if scanning of remaining pages is still in process.
Extended ability to inject a text layer into selected pages of a PDF document
The ability to inject text layer under the image was extended to allow for more flexibility: Now it is possible to individually specify the pages, in which the text layer should be injected. (Previously it was possible to inject the text layer for entire document only.)
Simultaneous usage of network and standalone licences within one installation
In some cases it is efficient to use different types of licenses - standalone and network - on one computer. To support this scenario, it is possible to define network and standalone licenses in one LicensingSettings.xml file.
Ability to remove garbage from color images
This feature extends image pre-processing and increases recognition accuracy of color images. In previous releases it was possible to remove the garbage (small excess dots that would slow down processing) from the black-and-white images only. Now it is possible to remove garbage from the colour images as well.

Ability to adjust a time zone for PDF export
In ABBYY FineReader Engine it is possible to write the modification and the creation date using UTC format into the PDF file. This feature was extended by the possibility to specify a time zone that will be used for the creation and modification date of the exporting documents. Several PDF viewer applications display creation/modification date of the document without using information about the user’s time zone. In some cases this missing information might be very important. These new options will allow to specify the creation and modification date for each PDF file.
Updated documentation for working with screenshots
New recommendations for processing of screenshots were added into the documentation to support developers with useful tipps for this increasingly popular scenario.
