• An error occurred when reading PDF files with corrupted image objects.

• When using the Custom Text data source, entering a text is now optional. Furthermore, the data type there is not considered any further. This allows an alternative result by adding a second rule with the same name, for example, if a search term does not occur in all documents.

• Send email with dyn. attachment: the optional specification of the source folder was not optional so far, it was actually required.
• Send email with dyn. attachment: the software now checks for duplicates when adding attachments.

• Speed improvement when splitting using QR or barcodes.
• Some optimizations.

• The data type "Query" and "Query (with list)" can now be combined as desired within a rule group (i.e., multiple rules with the same name) with other data types such as text. This makes it possible to check in error cases whether the searched term was contained in the document at all and to specify an alternative result for either case.
• Bug fixed: query preview always showed a valid result if the assigned result was empty (regardless of whether an empty result was allowed).

• Regression fixed: Splitting by QR codes and barcodes no longer worked properly
• Some optimizations

• An error could occur when processing larger PDF files.
• In the rule editor, in the cleanup and formatting section, an error could occur when moving entries.

• An error occurred when scrolling through the values of some drop-down selection lists using the mouse wheel.

• New option: Menu -> Options -> Other -> Check monitored folders of a profile for overlaps when saving
• When previewing filter results and checking for overlaps, system resources are now taken into account.

• Order changed: the Rename task is now performed after the OCR.
• There are now several options for the output file resolution when performing OCR.
• Some optimizations.

• When capturing some QR codes, there was an error message related to the dimensions.

• Merge documents
• Send PDF files with dyn. attachments - revised and much more flexible
• Merge PDF files
• Split by placeholder (start a new document at each change)
• Cleanup or format with Excel list (column 1: search term, column 2: result)
• OCR (make files searchable)
• Save Outlook message as draft only

• Fixed a potential problem when determining the Outlook default account.
• If settings for sending emails were made or changed from the profile settings and not via Options -> Send settings, the program had to be restarted once afterwards so that the changed send settings were recognized.

• Previewing the filter result and checking for filter overlaps have been split into two separate tabs.

• Speed optimization for the preview of the filter results.

• A problem with switching the current sample file was fixed.
• Some optimizations.

• There was a problem with the latest version of a third-party DLL, so its previous version is now used.

• When splitting, the value "Exclude documents with less than X characters" could not be changed.

• The content of QR codes or barcodes can be read and used as placeholders.
• Documents can be split by QR codes or barcodes.

• For data extraction rules, previous extraction rules can be used in the new data source Placeholders.
• Support of using a filter list with the filter type Does Not Contain.
• Multiple recipients are now supported when sending via SMTP.

• Regression fixed: Splitting documents only worked if no filter was set.

• Displaying of Excel report corrected - if no processing took place during the set period, "01.01.0001 - 01.01.0001" was displayed as the period.

• After activating the option to automatically send and/or save Excel reports, this was only performed regularly from the next day, regardless of the selected start time. Regardless of this, automated sending of the report is only possible once per day. Changes to the creation time only take effect on the next day, provided that a report has already been sent or saved for the current day.
• Locked and thus temporarily ignored files are now included in the error report for traceability purposes.

• When checking filter results, filter overlaps are now also displayed.

In this context, filter overlaps mean that

1. several profiles monitor the same folder and
2. at least one of these profiles would also process the sample files of another profile due to insufficient filter criteria and
3. that an error occurred during the test processing of these sample files.

For example, 2 profiles could exist that process logs and invoices from the same company from the same source folder Scans. As filter criterion, only the company name is specified. If the log profile does not find the term "Protocol no." in the file to be processed because an invoice was scanned, then the processing of the file would be aborted and an entry would be added to the tab Error in the log area. This source of error should thus become avoidable.

• Further improvements in processing rotated PDF pages made searchable afterwards.
• Some optimizations.

• Support for rotated PDF pages made searchable afterwards.

• There is now a notification if a folder is monitored by multiple profiles, but the extraction rules do not contain any filters (as this would lead to processing errors).
• Some optimizations.

• Some optimizations.

• Support of placeholders for the message subject.
• Error fixed: when using static attachments, the currently processed file was added to the message once again as well (exclusively when sending via SMTP).

• Additional filter for the path of the file (excluding filename).

• Numerous selection options for SMTP encryption method added. Default is Automatic Negotiation.
• Scrollbars for entering the message text added.

• Problem solved: When using regular expressions for the keyword in conjunction with specifying a specific page number, the following error message was issued: Determined data area is invalid.

• Using the printer's default settings (ignoring page settings) is now activated on a profile-specific basis rather than globally in the options. This allows individual settings to be made for different printers.

• For the "Query" and "Query with list" data types, a preview of the document is now displayed, along with matching search results.
• Adding and moving entries in the editor is no longer sluggish.
• Using network shared USB printers could cause problems. Therefore, there is now a new option in Options -> Other: Simplified printer availability check. This option is active by default.

• The use of a custom date format must now be activated as an option. By default, the date format is determined automatically.

• Date format detection when using the data type Date failed for some month names.
• When using the data type Date, the date format is now automatically detected and only needs to be be specified for invalid date formats.

• The placeholder <SplittingNumberWithLeadingZeros{1}> was not evaluated - therefore the insertion of leading zeros in the new file numbering was not possible.
• Some optimizations.

• Fixed license check issue introduced in version 1.8.2.

• Some optimizations.

• Task Send Email: if in the setting "Email address from CSV file" no CSV file was specified, a crash occurred.

• New button Step-by-step Instructions (can be hidden in Options -> General).
• Missing translations added.
• Some optimizations.

• Print settings revised and user-defined scaling in percent added as setting option.
• Some profile presets can now be set in the options.
• If multiple rules were created with the same name, they were listed in the placeholder menu accordingly many times. Now only one rule per name is displayed.
• New option Add Logical OR for the input field Keywords (Set data area).
• Some optimizations.

• Options --> Other - Automatically add the trimming function to new rules. The option is active by default.

• New task type: Send PDF file as email. Send settings can be set in the options separately from the settings for notifications.
• After sending emails, a subsequent pause can now be set in the options. This avoids the problem of running into a possible limitation of the email provider.
• Possibility to create exception rules in Options --> Other to solve the following problem: When folders including subfolders are monitored, the contents of newly created subfolders are indexed first. If new PDF files are always placed in new subfolders, they can now be processed as well.

• Some bug fixes and optimizations.

• When using the option "CSV collective file", it is mandatory to set a file name. It now appears a message if this is not given.
• It has been excluded that file names can have a double ending. Previously, this was possible, for example, in the CSV collection file, if the file name mistakenly contained an extension. The extension is automatically assigned by the program depending on the output format.

• Fixed bug: Splitting pages by keywords did not work if the filter "Page does not contain" contained a term.
• Fixed bug: In the settings for saving a CSV extract, fallback rules were listed.

• 2 bugs have been fixed. One of the two bugs: failure of rule verification did not cause processing of the corresponding file to fail under certain circumstances.

• Bug fixed: If a regular expression was applied to a placeholder when setting the dynamic subfolder, an error was reported in case of non-fulfillment, even if the respective file was supposed to be excluded from the processing by setting filters.

• The values specified for the cleanup do not have to be contained anymore - this is only necessary for formatting. Example: Replace xyz with abc - the cleanup was previously invalid if xyz was not contained in the document text.

• Trimming (tab "Cleanup" and tab "Formatting") now also removes leading and trailing blank lines.
• Fixed UHD scaling issue with the log filter.

• A problem with the check interval has been solved.

• For the path of the storage folder, a regular expression can now be applied to a placeholder when setting the dynamic subfolder. However, this functionality is more for allowing the file to be stored in multiple folders. For example, if a placeholder contains 3 different case numbers, this allows the file to be stored in all 3 subfolders, each named after the case number.
• Some optimizations.

• Fixed a potential error when loading log data.

• The function "Replace the regex result with the text" now supports the use of the result groups ($1, $2, $3 etc.).
