What's new in SoftekSDK 8.3.3.2
Jan 15, 2019
- Enhanced support for Code 93 and EAN13 Supplemental barcodes
New in SoftekSDK 8.1.2.7 (Jun 6, 2016)
- Full use of multi-core systems when processing multi-page documents.
New in SoftekSDK 7.5.1.1 (Feb 14, 2012)
New in SoftekSDK 7.3.1 (Sep 30, 2010)
- GS-1 Databar:
- GS-1 Databar support has been added to toolkit. This includes RSS-14, RSS-14 Stacked, RSS Truncated, RSS Limited, RSS Expanded and RSS Expanded Stacked. There is also support for supplemental information encoded in micro-PDF-417 barcodes.
- Color Images:
- A new property called ColorProcessLevel has been added to the toolkit. This property controls the amount of time the toolkit will spend processing a color image and should make it unnecessary to set the ColorThreshold property to a value other than zero. If you are upgrading from a previous version of the toolkit and set ColorThreshold to a non-zero value in your code then you will need to change the value to 0 in order to take advantage of the new property.
- Micro-PDF-417:
- A memory violation error has been fixed in the micro PDF-417 module.
- Size of color PDF files:
- The compression used when outputting PDF documents as part of the Tiff Split process has been changed from zip to jpeg, which yields significantly smaller files.
- Java Interface:
- The properties; ReadMicroPDF417, ReadDatabar and ReadDataMatrix have been added to the java interface.
- SkewTolerance Range:
- Range checks have been added for the value of the SkewTolerance property.
- SoftekBarcodeLib2.ScanBarCodeFromBitmap empty string problem:
- It was possible for the ScanBarCodeFromBitmap method in the .net 2 interface to return a value of 1, and yet GetBarString would return an empty string. This has been fixed and the barcode value is now returned.
- Median Filter memory leak:
- A memory leak has been fixed when MedianFiler is set to True.
- Double read on skewed DataMatrix barcodes:
- An error whereby it was possible to get a double read for slightly skewed datamatrix barcodes has been fixed.
- Empty values for Datamatrix:
- An error whereby the toolkit returned empty datamatrix barcode values for some images has been fixed.
New in SoftekSDK 7.1.4 (Jul 1, 2009)
- Tiff-split in PDF Format
- The tiff-split feature of the toolkit is now able to output in both tiff and pdf format. Note that the .Net component requires installation of the PDF Extension to do this where as the DLL, OCX and COM interfaces do not. If the PDF Extension is installed then the toolkit is also able to split a PDF file into smaller parts. Note that PDF files are rasterized before being split.
- Java Interface Extended
- The Java interface has been extended to include tiff-split functionality.
- PdfDpi default value changed
- The default value of the PdfDpi property (the resolution at which PDF files are rasterized) has been changed from 200 to 300.
- Patch Code Recognition
- Previous versions of the toolkit would output false positive results if ReadPatchCodes was set to True and MinOccurrence and PrefOccurrence were left at default values, but version 7.1.4 imposes a minimum hit count for patch codes of 30. This value can only be changed via the LoadXMLSettings method/function by setting the property PatchCodeMinOccurrence.
- PDF-417 Recognition
- Improvements have been made to PDF-417 recognition, which allow the toolkit to cope with larger variations in the width of columns.
New in SoftekSDK 7.1.3 (Oct 17, 2008)
- Improved support for the EAN-13 family of barcodes.
- Extended support for Code 2 of 5 barcodes.
- Improved detection of false positive results when using SkewSettings > 0.
- Encoding property added to control format in which barcodes are returned:
- Sorting of barcode results
- Bug fix in SaveResults method in the .net 2.0 component.
- The properties PdfBpp, PdfDpi, PageNo and Photometric can be exported and imported using the XML interface.
- Added support for micro-PDF-417 barcodes via the ReadMicroPDF417 property.
- Added support for Short Code 128 barcodes via the ReadShortCode128 property. Another property called ShortCode128MinLength has also been added to control the minimum allowed length for this type of barcode. The default value is 2.
- Improved recognition of long Code 128 and Code 39 barcodes.
New in SoftekSDK 7.0.3 (Oct 19, 2006)
- Support for PDF-417 barcodes and PNG images
