• If the recipient of an email sent via SMTP used a very old email client, such as Outlook 2003, it could happen that attachments with a very long name were displayed as 'Untitled attachment 001.pdf'.

• Fixed scaling problem when using English language.

• The profile settings window is now resizable.
• Problem fixed: On older Windows versions, the maximum number of characters of the regex pattern is severely limited. Exceeding it caused a crash.

• Improved handling of hanging Outlook instances.

• New OCR option: convert PDF content to images beforehand.

• A scaling issue has been fixed.

• Send PDF files: the PDF file can now be password protected before sending - either with a fixed password or with a password provided by placeholder.

• Some optimizations.

• Some optimizations.

• Improved scaling at higher resolutions.
• Missing translations added.

• Additional option when deleting files: delete empty parent folder as well.

• When restoring a backup, there was an error message.
• After duplicating a profile, changes were occasionally not applied.
• The error message when printing if a document cannot be read now corresponds to the original error message.
• The check if a folder is already in the list of known folders is case-insensitive.
• Some optimizations.

• Under certain circumstances, for optional files, there was a longer than necessary wait for a group to be complete.

• Some optimizations and error corrections.

• Occasionally the PDF library used did not return files searchable, but in their original state. There is now a comparison of the amount of text and up to two repetitions of the OCR process.

Addditional options for moving files:

• Move remaining files of the folder to the destination folder as well
• Wait x seconds for further files
• Delete the parent folder if it is empty

Addditional options for copying files:

• Copy remaining files of the folder to the destination folder as well
• Wait x seconds for further files

• An outdated compiler directive caused the tests of the non-blocking file grouping to give a successful result in the development environment, although this only partially worked in the shipped version.

• In case of several data extraction rules with the same name, only the result of the first data extraction rule was displayed in the path preview (e.g., path preview in the task Move Files). Now the group result is displayed, i.e. the result of the first data extraction rule with a valid value.
• Processing details - latest entry occasionally showed an ongoing processing even though it was already completed.

Cleanup/Formatting Additions:

• Remove leading lines until regex is matched
• Remove leading lines until regex is not matched
• Remove trailing lines until regex is matched
• Remove trailing lines until regex is not matched

• New option in Options -> Processing: Treat moved files as already known (ignore them during regular processing).
• New option: Also include older, already-known files in the primary subgroup if the filter criteria are met.
• Bug fixed: Non-blocking processing on primary subgroup was delayed.

• Problem with new tab Processing Details fixed.

• New tab with processing details - shows the currently processed file and the application of the profiles.
• The license expiration date is now displayed in the window title bar.
• Error corrected: A file grouping with multiple files in primary subgroup and without a secondary subgroup resulted in a double processing.
• Error corrected: The file grouping preview failed with multiple files in primary subgroup.
• Error corrected: File grouping with non-blocking processing - when catching up, the program did wait the set time, although with this processing combination only a one-time check for completeness should be done.
• Error corrected: When searching for keywords combined with a logical OR, the Case-sensitive (Aa) option was ignored and case-sensitivity always respected instead.

• Monitored folders and sample files can now also be added by specifying a path.
• Multiple monitored folders can now be removed at once.
• Missing translation added.
• Improved detection of selection rectangle resizing in position based data extraction.
• SMTP settings - option added: Check for revoked TLS/SSL certificates.
• Fixed scaling problem in Send task.

• The filter for the path and file name is now evaluated with the current values and no longer with the original values. This means that the filter can additionally be used if one of the preceding profiles changes the file name.

• Completeness of file groupings can now be waited for in a non-blocking mode. In this mode, a group is checked (until the maximum waiting time is reached) on each pass to see if it is complete. If not, the profile is skipped until then. The new mode is activated by default. In Options -> Processing, switching back to the blocking mode is possible.
• Bug fix: File grouping - unnecessarily long waiting time for optional files with an allowed number greater than 1

• When a cleanup action was switched from Replace to Remove, the replacement text was still used and the action returned an incorrect result as long as the replacement text was not removed.

• Automatic date detection: With invalid date formats, it could happen that the preview incorrectly displayed a valid date, but the processing failed. During date cleanup, the result could differ as well.

• Send PDF files: The input field for the message text now allows ten times the number of characters instead of only 32,000.
• Missing translations added.

• The preview of file groupings was not based on the current state of the sample files under certain conditions.
• In the profile settings, the indicator (1) is now displayed for file groupings even if only the primary file group is active.

• Problem solved: Under certain conditions, splitting documents by barcode only worked with QR codes.

• Fixed problem when catching up with activated processing pause.

• When splitting by QR code, an older detection method was still used.
• A set pause between processing of multiple files was not respected when processing file groups.

• Fixed regression: Only PDF attachments could be sent as dynamic attachments.

• GS1-128 is additionally supported for barcodes.
• The determined position of the selection rectangle for QR codes was incorrect in some cases.
• Files made searchable have a significantly smaller file size.
• The processing order of documents is now ensured by a separate sorting (at a certain point Windows no longer delivered the files sorted).

• "Options -> Processing: pause between processing multiple new files" - the option was not evaluated.

• When sending emails: specifying multiple recipients in the CC or BCC categories resulted in an error.

• Additional variant for splitting documents: 'Separator page with text'. This variant works only for searchable files or files made searchable with OCR in advance.

• Before applying a task, it is checked whether the file meets the filter criteria. Thereby, the current name and not the original name was used by mistake. If the file was renamed as well and a term was added that was not allowed to be included according to the filter criteria, other tasks of the profile were thus no longer applied.

• Optimizations for some international date formats

• Version 1.22.2 in the 64-bit variant still corresponded to version 1.22.1

• Problem solved: Recognition of certain long date formats.

• Problem solved: Wrong profile name in log after duplicating profiles with file groupings.
• Some optimizations and error corrections.

• When using the Date data type, automatic date detection can be activated (date format from list, country-specific date format, all known date formats).
• Filter for QR and barcodes - check for presence and/or the value.
• Barcodes are now read consistently. Previously, when extracting based on a search term and position based, there was a different routine for identifying barcodes.
• Subsequent tasks of a profile are no longer applied to the current document when an error occurs.
• Profile-specific SMTP/Outlook settings.
• Some optimizations and error corrections.

• The execution of the Rename task now takes again place before copying, so that a copy also receives the new file name.
• If a file is locked, for example because it is open in Adobe Reader, the operation is aborted and retried at a later time. This affects only the primary file, not secondary files during processing of a file group.

• When determining the data area based on position, the selection rectangle can now be moved closer to the page edges.

• For the 'Query' and 'Query (with list)' data types, an empty query result was always allowed, regardless of whether the 'Allow empty query result' option was active.

• 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.
• Dynamic attachments: a part of the settings was cut off at higher resolutions.

• If a file name contained several consecutive underscores, they were unintentionally shortened to one underscore.

• 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.
• The setting options for QR and barcodes have been simplified.
• Improved detection of vertical barcodes.
• Improved utilization of multiple processor cores when capturing QR and bar codes on systems with sufficient memory.
• The position of the detected QR or barcode is now indicated by a green frame.
• On monitors with low resolution, non-resizable windows are limited to the available space.
• When sending via Outlook, the Outlook default setting for attaching a possible signature is now taken into account.
• When sending via Outlook, there is now an additional option: Open message in Outlook.

• The sorting of the file names now corresponds to that of the Explorer (with the exception of its error a.pdf stands behind a - 1.pdf).

• Files can be moved to the recycle bin after successful processing.
• Some optimizations.

• File groupings for processing related files
• 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.
• Additional options for a subsequent program when splitting: execution only once (after successful run), execution after each new partial document, execution once after splitting has been performed.
• Support of the period Current Day when automatically sending or saving an Excel report.
• Correction: Automatic sending of the Excel report now also works via Outlook.
• Since Microsoft recently disabled the SMTP and EWS protocols for Exchange Online, only a local Exchange server can be supported as a third sending option for sending emails.
• "Search whole word" option for the data types Query and Query (With List).
• 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.
• Some optimizations and corrections.

• Some optimizations.

• 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.

• When determining the email recipient address from a CSV file, a crash occurred if the file was locked by Excel.

• When sending dynamic attachments, any file types can now be used.

• Fixed problem extracting data from the last page of a document (with setting: page x from the end).

• Some optimizations.

• Query with list - support for dynamic lists - load content from file
• Query with list - menu item to add placeholders/operators when creating/editing a static list
• Email send settings are now also accessible from the task "Send file"
• In the task "Split file -> by keywords", placeholders can now also be used as filter criteria
• When duplicating profiles, it is now possible to specify in the button menu whether the new profile should subsequently be selected and/or opened for editing

• Added an option to allow an empty query result
• Filter -> PDF data -> Text contains/does not contain: new option to search only in specific pages
• Filter results can now be checked against the sample files
• Placeholder for the name of the Windows user added

• After changing the keyword for determining the data area, the preview jumped back to the first sample file.

• When using the data types "Query" and "Query with list", the current sample file can be set or changed.
• 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.
• Ability to filter pages when splitting files by:
  • Exclusion of pages with less than X characters.
  • Exclusion of pages with/without the search term ABC.
• Fixed bug with: Replace all occurrences of a text.
• Performance optimizations.

• Regression fixed: query with list did not work since last update.
• Regression fixed: When renaming, a numbering was added on catch-up in some cases, although this was not necessary.
• The program now responds when a toolbar button is clicked even if the application window is not active.

• If only the task Print is active, it is no longer necessary to specify a sample document.
• Improved quick preview of the verification result.
• Detected values (date, number) are additionally displayed in standard format on the Verification tab.
• Some optimizations.

• Error correction for Replace/Remove the text -> All occurrences.
• The ampersand "&" was displayed as an underscore in the status column of the log.
• When using the task type Rename, the setting for the procedure "if a file with the same name already exists" was not respected and a failure occurred in these cases.

• Fixed problem when reading corrupted metadata.

• 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.
• Last application date of a profile is now always up-to-date.
• The log filter now also supports the profile name.
• Log entries can be removed and restored.
• Profile --> Example Files - files can now also be removed from the list with the DEL key.

• Further addition for Edit --> Extract line no. x lines from/to.
• 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.).
• Send notifications can now be set as an option when catching up.
