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.

For full information about the new release see the release notes.
