Issues resolved in this fix pack

ID Issue Solution
2133220 Performance Issue on Document Routing. Document routing performance has been improved, especially for large documents.

Issues resolved in previous fix packs

Pack 13

ID Issue Solution
2057621 Database Locator does not exclude Own Address from Document during Extraction. The Database Locator correctly excludes the records in the exclusion database during extraction.
1991175 OmniPage OCR incorrectly recognizing zeros (0) as capitol o (O). OmniPage engine now correctly recognizes zeros (0) and capital o (O).
1985047 KBLS service crashes after enormous service memory increase. The Knowledge Base Learning Server no longer crashes due to memory issues because improvements were made to memory handling.

Pack 12

ID Issue Solution
1983381 Bar Code Locator using OmniPage engine returns bar code of previous document. The OmniPage recognition engine has been updated to OmniPage 21.1 FP 12. Bar code recognition now behaves as expected.
1982556 Add Project Merge Tool option to copy the online learning settings. The Project Merge Tool can now merge online learning settings.
1980308 The Validation module does not reload form with scripted document reclassification. The batch tree is correctly updated when scripted document reclassification is used.
1976606 Patch codes are not recognized with OmniPage engine on some documents. The OmniPage recognition engine has been updated to OmniPage 21.1 FP 12. Patch code recognition has been improved with this fix pack.
1972920 OmniPage is experiencing problems when trying to read data that is in front of a bar code.

It is now possible to improve the recognition of text adjacent to bar codes by enabling bar code zoning.

Note: If this setting is enabled using script, it is possible that the bar code is recognized as random characters when full page OCR is performed.

The Bar Code Locator still recognizes bar codes successfully.

The following example shows how to enable bar code zoning via script:

Private Sub Application_InitializeScript() Dim pageProfile As IMpsRecogProfile Dim pageProfileOP As MpsPageRecogProfileOmniPage Set pageProfile = Project.RecogProfiles.ItemByName("OmniPage") Set pageProfileOP = pageProfile pageProfileOP.EnableBarcodeZoning = True End Sub

1965802 Bar code type PDF 417 High Accuracy does not extract value from a PDF 417 bar code, but PDF 417 BC type does.

When a high accuracy bar code is selected, extraction is first attempted with the OmniPage recognition engine. If that fails, a specialized recognition engine is called. This helps ensure that bar codes are recognized with higher accuracy.

In addition to the PDF 417 High Accuracy bar code, there are also the Data Matrix High Accuracy and QR Code High Accuracy bar code types. The recognition of high accuracy bar codes prioritizes recognition accuracy over speed.

Fix Pack 11

ID Issue Solution
1967364 Project merging overwrites and clears existing resource localizations.

Localizations are no longer overwritten during a project merge where the destination project contains localizations and the source project does not.

This is because the 'copy localizations' setting is not activated in this situation.

1969323 Printer Type is going back to "Auto" option even it is saved after change to other printer type options in Zone Profile. If you modify the Printer Type on the OmniPage Zone Profile settings, that value is now saved as expected.
1967047 Validation is not opening when running in a terminal or Citrix session. To overcome the logging concurrency issue, every module and process now creates its own log file. This makes the Logs Aggregation setting in the Service Configuration Tool obsolete.
1965896 Extraction training in Project Builder causes out of memory error. An out-of-memory error is no longer encountered when performing extraction training in the Project Builder.

Fix Pack 10

ID Issue Solution
1958009 Omnipage OCR MRZ line with "<<" read as single character « or additional quotes.

A new setting for OmniPage page profiles and the OmniPage zone profiles is available to process MRZ. This new setting is called MRZ Mode.

When selected, a specialized recognition engine is used to process the document and the recognition accuracy of any non-MRZ text may be reduced.

In addition, for OmniPage zone profiles, the Print Type is automatically set to OCR-B.

1957504 Project Builder crashes when importing a text file into local fuzzy database if data for a column has more than 96 characters.

Project Builder no longer crashes if a database value has more than 96 characters.

Instead, up to 255 characters are now allowed, and in the unlikely event that a value exceeds this length restriction, the value truncated after 255 characters and Project Builder runs as expected.

Fix Pack 9

ID Issue Solution
1954358 OMR Zone Test not showing the "Blackness" in 7.0. OMR zones are now correctly displaying what percentage of an OMR zone is marked.

1953285

Bar code type Code 39 vertically is not detected.

The OmniPage recognition engine was updated to the 21.1.0.11 fix pack.

This improves the recognition of Code 39 bar codes regardless of their orientation, PDF417 bar codes, patch codes, and recognition accuracy.

1953130

Bar Code Locator does not reliably recognize patch codes on the page.

1942751

Accuracy: 'O' vs '0' nonrecognition in Invoice Numbers.

1937773

Bar codes not reading with OmniPage.

1900005

Bar Code Locator does not reliably recognize patch codes on the page.

1952408 Resetting the window positions causes an error in the Validation user module which cannot be closed. Resetting the window positions no longer causes an error in the Validation user module. It is also possible to close the module afterward.
1952659 Document Review module drop-down classification search issue. The selected class is now highlighted and displayed in the drop-down list.
1937749 Copy locator method fails on specific project - invalid stol argument. An invalid stol argument no longer occurs when an Advanced Zone Locator is copied.
1944303 Project Settings Mixed recognition page profile is set to None after Project Merge Tool. After projects are merged with the Project Merge Tool, any Mixed Print recognition profiles are merged as expected.
1929087 StructuredException in Validation when the user reclassifies via script. An error no longer occurs when a user reclassifies a document in Validation via script.

Fix Pack 8

ID Issue Solution
1937646 Fix pack installation command brings error when path has a space included. Using a space when installing a fix pack no longer results in an error.
1937276 When trying to setup anchors in Project Builder an exception error is returned. An exception error is no longer encountered when setting up anchors.
1936434 OCR (OmniPage) results for Hebrew are written out in the wrong order. The recognition results using the OmniPage OCR engine for Hebrew and other right-to-left languages are now aligned correctly from right to left.
1935487 Document Review hotkeys function differently than in previous versions - selected element is resetting to first item in search list. The last selected value is now retained whenever a hot key is pressed.
1934780 Memory leak when creating and removing field alternatives by script. There are no longer issues with memory consumption when removing field alternatives by script.
1928065 Duplicate value in classification drop-down menu in Document Review module. Class filtering has been improved so that the classification drop-down list contains one entry per class names only.
1926116 QR code encoding is incorrect. Umlauts not recognized by Bar Code Locator. Umlauts in QR codes are now supported by the Bar Code Locator.
1925201 Bar Code Locator (BCL) intermittently crashes in Project Builder during development. The Bar code locator no longer causes Project Builder to crash.
1900030 Project Merge Tool cannot merge project files with Advanced Zone Locator. It is now possible to use the Project Merge Tool to merge projects that contain recognition profiles with fallback profiles.

Fix Pack 7

ID Issue Solution
1921126 Certain PDF will break in Project Builder as well as in the Validation module when zooming in and out. Increasing and decreasing the magnification of PDF documents no longer causes issues in Project Builder or the Validation module.
1892972 XValues are lost after KTM Server 1 when running it for classification only.

XValues are no longer lost when using multiple instances of KTM Server.

If two Server instances (Server1 and Server2) are used for a project and one instance performs classification and the other performs extraction, then the following script sample shows how to copy the XValues so they are available in KTM Server2.

The following script sample calls a function from the project script for the Document_AfterClassify and Document_BeforeExtract methods.

Public Sub CaptureFieldsToKTMFields(pXDoc As CscXDocument) If Project.ScriptExecutionMode=CscScriptExecutionMode.CscScriptModeServer Then Dim lCount As Long For lCount = 0 To pXDoc.Fields.Count - 1 Dim Key As String Key = "AC_FIELD_" & pXDoc.Fields.ItemByIndex(lCount).Name If pXDoc.XValues.ItemExists(Key) Then pXDoc.Fields.ItemByIndex(lCount).Text = pXDoc.XValues.ItemByName(Key).Value End If Next End If End Sub

1892914 PDF Document: Format Locator: Fox-Exception: Index (-1) out of range. The error is no longer encountered in PDF documents using a Format Locator because Unicode NONCHARACTER U+FFFF is no longer included in the extracted text.
1885819 KTM Server crashes at Recognition/Mixed Print. A crash longer occurs when using mixed print recognition, while detecting zone boxes for handprint.
1885620 Fix huge performance slowing down in the local fuzzy database for text source file without BOM information. Performance improvements have been made when using local fuzzy databases.
1885281 When the document OCR is done with a mixed print profile using formXtra, there is no OCR result over the hand print areas, when opened with XDocBrowser. The correct OCR results are available in the XDocBrowser when mixed print including handwritten text is recognized using the handprint zone recognition profile from the FormXtra recognition engine.

Fix Pack 6

ID Issue Solution

ID Issue Solution
1840848 Real error behind "Cannot open file xyz.txt" error message is hidden. The Windows error is now included in the error message that is displayed to the user.
1830104 Ability to configure idle timeout for extraction processes.

A new setting called Idle time before terminating process [min] is now available in the Service Configuration tool.

This setting enables you to specify how long to wait before terminating an idle extraction process.

1823256 Custom storage string is limited to 1024 characters. The maximum XML Output Buffer Length was increased to 32768 characters, enabling XValues of up to 32768 characters to be read from the XDoc.
1822773 Fuzzy database lookup button hides columns if they were not selected for searching.

A new setting called Show All Columns is now available when configuring a fuzzy database lookup.

When selected, all database columns are displayed in the Database Lookup Window in Validation, even if they are not selected and included in the fuzzy search.

This setting is set to FALSE by default.

Fix Pack 3

ID Issue Solution
1824159 Arabic doc recognition fails with error: "General Protection Fault in the Engine." Recognition for documents with the Arabic language no longer causes a recognition error.
1819532 Bar codes are not being recognized by the Bar Code Locator using OmniPage. Bar codes with one character are now successfully recognized by the OmniPage recognition engine.
1818330 Document Review Class List Behavior Changed in 6.4Document Review Class List Behavior Changed in 6.4.

When filtering the list of classes in the Document Review Class List combo box, the entered text filters the text in two ways:

  1. First, any classes that start with the filtered text appears in alphabetical order in the filtered list.

  2. Next, any classes that contain the filtered text anywhere in their name are displayed at the bottom of the list, also in alphabetical order.

For example, if you have 5 classes called Invoices, Purchase Orders, Service Orders, Order Forms, and Accounting Orders, and you type ‘order’ in the Class List, the results are as follows:

  • Order form

  • Accounting Orders

  • Purchase Orders

  • Service Orders

1813346 A change in script causes Project Builder to crash silently while saving. Project Builder no longer crashes when a project contains a script with both & and % characters.
