New in NAPS2 (Not Another PDF Scanner 2) 7.0 Beta 1 (Jan 2, 2023)

  • Most NAPS2 code has been rewritten. Things should mostly look the same but under the hood there are many differences:
  • Beta feedback thread
  • TWAIN support has been reworked:
  • Some lifecycle-related issues should hopefully be fixed (e.g. only being able to scan once)
  • With "Use predefined settings", TWAIN now uses the built-in NAPS2 progress window, which allows multitasking
  • TWAIN UI should no longer be visible in console and batch mode
  • TWAIN should also now support scanning larger images (e.g. 1200dpi) without out-of-memory issues
  • Upgraded Tesseract to 5.2.0 for OCR:
  • Up to 30% faster OCR performance
  • Tesseract is now bundled with the NAPS2 download, so no extra download is required (though you still need to download language data if you don't already have it).
  • PDF import and export have been rewritten to leverage Pdfium:
  • This means better support for importing different kinds of PDFs
  • In some cases this means much faster import/export
  • Pdfium is bundled with the NAPS2 download so there is no longer an extra download needed to import non-NAPS2 PDFs
  • New Crop UI
  • Minor tweaks to blank page detection
  • Image list tweaks:
  • Selected images appear with just a blue border
  • Spacing has been optimized
  • New automatic image correction functionality (work in progress):
  • "Document Correction" under the Image menu
  • Automatic fixing of color calibration, noise, skew, and other common scanning issues
  • Eventually this will be integrated into profiles
  • JPEG2000 support for importing/saving images (Mac only for now)
  • Dropped support for rarely-used image file formats (.emf, .exif, .gif):
  • Please request if you want this back
  • NAPS2 on Windows now requires .NET Framework 4.6.2:
  • This means no more support for Windows XP
  • Windows 7 SP1 is now the minimum requirement
  • The 64-bit Windows install location is now "Program Files" instead of "Program Files (x86)"
  • The MSI installer now has separate 64-bit and 32-bit downloads
