Aquaforest has always been committed to PDF standards and was one of the first
companies in the world to have a PDF/A solution back in 2006. Our
membership of the industry PDF Association further demonstrates this commitment.
Aquaforest product experts can advise you on a range of topics from expected document conversion performance to product selection or configuration.
E-Discovery and E-Filing
Aquaforest products are widely used in the Legal industry for their ability to support E-Discovery and E-Filing. More information about the use of Autobahn DX and Aquaforest OCR SDK products in the Legal industry is available here or can be downloaded as a PDF file.
Autobahn DX and Worldox
The Worldox document management system is widely used in the Legal industry but does not come with any in-built OCR capabilities. This means that any scanned PDF ("image-only PDF") files or TIFF files will not be searchable via the Worldox text search tool. Autobahn DX can quickly be configured to act as a "monitor" for Worldox to ensure that all image-only PDF files will be automatically converted to fully text-searchable PDF. For more information read this blog article or download the PDF.
NEWS: Autobahn DX 3.0 Released
Aquaforest is happy to announce the release of version 3.0 of Autobahn DX. This includes many user-requested new features such as stand-alone advanced MRC compression for PDFs, support for conversion of Outlook .msg files and PDF/X.
The new Extended OCR module includes support for over 100 languages, including options for Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Korean and Japanese. It also has improved support for OCR outputs beyond searchable PDF, such as .docx and .csv.
