  • Environment variables can now also be used when specifying the monitored folder.
  • Smaller optimizations.

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.31.0 (Apr 3, 2024)

  • Support for the new, additionally available lifetime licenses.
  • Smaller optimizations.

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.30.15 (Mar 27, 2024)

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.30.13 (Mar 5, 2024)

  • The check that all data extraction rules provide a valid result now also takes place for the 'Print' and 'Delete' tasks. This enables additional filter options compared to using the standard filter.

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.30.12 (Feb 23, 2024)

  • Corrected a regression in the configuration of the send settings: a set delay after sending messages was only applied when sending via Outlook

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.30.11 (Feb 22, 2024)

  • File name filter: A selection option for the scope has been added. This allows you to specify whether the filter should only apply to the original file name or whether it should apply continuously, i.e. even after renaming. Existing profiles are given the latter option, new profiles the former (as preset).

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.30.10 (Feb 12, 2024)

  • Problem fixed: manually entered folder paths with a trailing slash were not processed.

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.30.5 (Jan 24, 2024)

  • The processing log data when sending mails now also contains CC and BCC recipients
  • When sending mails via SMTP, the server's response is now also available in the log data (if it does not match OK)
  • Fixed bug when using the data source Placeholder: if the name of the rule using the placeholder appeared multiple times in the list, the reading of the available placeholders was stopped at the first rule with the name

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.30.4 (Jan 22, 2024)

  • Toggle switch for splitting: Start partial documents with an empty document, start partial documents with the structure and objects of the original document

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.26.4 (Jul 12, 2023)

  • An outdated compiler directive caused the tests of the non-blocking file grouping to give a successful result in the development environment, although this only partially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

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.26.3 (Jul 10, 2023)

  • 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

  • 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.

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.25.0 (Jun 19, 2023)

  • Monitored folders and sample files can now also be added by specifying a path.
  • Multiple monitored folders can now be removed at once.

  • Fixed scaling problem in Send task.

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.24.1 (Jun 12, 2023)

  • 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.

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.24.0 (Jun 11, 2023)

  • 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
  • Bug fix: File grouping - optional files - report an error with multiple hits - it was not waited for.

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.23.8 (Jun 8, 2023)

  • 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.

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.23.7 (Jun 5, 2023)

  • 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.

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.23.6 (Jun 1, 2023)

  • 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.

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.23.5 (May 29, 2023)

  • A set pause between processing of multiple files was not respected when processing file groups.

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.23.1 (May 2, 2023)

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

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.23.0 (Apr 30, 2023)

  • 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.

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.22.8 (Apr 19, 2023)

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

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.22.7 (Apr 6, 2023)

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

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.22.6 (Mar 29, 2023)

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

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.22.5 (Mar 24, 2023)

  • 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.

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.22.4 (Mar 13, 2023)

  • Optimizations for some international date formats.

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.22.3 (Mar 11, 2023)

  • Some optimizations and error corrections.

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.22.0 (Mar 1, 2023)

  • 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.

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.21.17 (Feb 14, 2023)

  • 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.

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.21.16 (Feb 8, 2023)

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

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.21.15 (Feb 5, 2023)

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.21.11 (Dec 19, 2022)

  • Speed improvement when splitting using QR or barcodes.
  • Some optimizations.

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.21.10 (Dec 19, 2022)

  • 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).

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.21.9 (Dec 15, 2022)

  • Regression fixed: Splitting by QR codes and barcodes no longer worked properly
  • Some optimizations

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.21.8 (Dec 14, 2022)

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.20.6 (Oct 10, 2022)

  • 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.

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.20.5 (Jul 25, 2022)

  • Previewing the filter result and checking for filter overlaps have been split into two separate tabs.

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.20.4 (Jul 11, 2022)

New in Automatic PDF Processor 1.19.1 (Jan 19, 2022)

  • 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.
