Features ImageProcessing-FM:
Image processing is used to improve and optimize the quality of scanned documents (PDF, TIFF, JPEG) or to improve the image quality for machine readability in preparation for a subsequent OCR recognition. This allows blank pages and black borders , Holes, lines and impurities are removed. The FM version is installed as a Windows service and can monitor one or more input folders.
- MS Windows service
- Multiple jobs can be created to monitor multiple input folders.
- Multithreading / parallel processing ensures a high processing throughput
- Configuration of the processing steps via profiles (new, copy, edit, delete, export, import)
- Only the start folder or the entire subfolder structure can be processed.
- Folder contents can be deleted after processing or the folder structure can be retained.

- Adjustable number of retry attempts / time interval if a file should be blocked.
- Logging (all events, only the error events)
