We are thrilled to announce the latest features and improvements of our software, which brings powerful new features and essential stability improvements, especially for users managing high-volume document conversion workflows. With enhanced support for multi-threaded and parallel printers, this release ensures your organization can handle large-scale printing tasks more efficiently than ever before.

Key Enhancements & Features

1. Improved High-Volume Document Printing

Our team has addressed a key issue affecting the performance of printing a large number of documents into image file formats like TIF, JPEG, and PNG. With this update, the gradual slowdown problem has been resolved, enabling faster, more consistent printing for high-volume document conversion. This is especially beneficial for businesses that rely on multi-threaded or parallel printing environments.

2. Parallel Printing & Multi-Threading Stability

For organizations leveraging multiple printers or multi-threaded environments to process large batches of documents simultaneously, we’ve introduced critical stability improvements. These enhancements ensure that even when managing multiple print jobs or sending documents via email in parallel, your workflows remain stable, fast, and error-free. This update significantly boosts efficiency for companies with high-demand printing needs.

3. Expanded File Format Support – Microsoft OneNote (.ONE)

We’ve added support for converting Microsoft OneNote (.ONE) documents, further expanding the versatility of our software. Now, users can easily convert OneNote files for printing and document management, streamlining workflows that involve various document types.

4. Optimized PDF Printing

In this release, we’ve improved the stability of printing to PDF format, addressing issues where certain page elements were not displaying correctly due to clipping problems. Whether you’re printing simple or complex PDFs, you can now count on accurate and reliable output.

Additional Updates & Fixes
