NEWSLETTER Q1 REVIEW - 2017

Release 7.0.2(02/17/2017) & 7.0.2.2 (03/21/2017)

7.0.2 is the latest JAVA release, which made some updates for our recent product launches and minor bugfixes.

7.0.2.2 is a hotfix release for .NET on top of 7.0.2. They are functionally identical, except for a fix of an important blocking issue being reported by ASP.NET users. There is no hotfix for iText 7 for Java, because the bug doesn't occur there. The Java version is still at 7.0.2. 

pdf2Data - Extract information from invoices and templates (04/04/2017)

Pdf2Data is a tool that allows for structured data to be extracted from similarly structured text documents. The way that this is done is through the use of rules to define the location of text that should be extracted or the format of the text. 

This new iText 7 add-on is a great tool, providing the ability to unlock the data that is hard to access within PDFs. The definition of a template PDF can be done through either the online demo GUI or through the Adobe Reader commenting tool. Whichever way you decide to do it, pdf2Data will allow you to use that template and easily implement extraction of vital information from PDF documents in your workflow.
