Avision delivers JPM-style PDF as Hot-Bundling with each scanner

As of this October, the leading scanner manufacturer Avision (Taiwan) delivers their scanner series AV210/AV220/AV610 bundled with LuraDocument.jpm PdfSolutions - the solution for highly compressed JPM-style PDF-files. For this purpose, Avision's AVScan has been enhanced by means of the LuraDocument.jpm C-SDK, so that JPM-style PDFs are now produced directly by the Capture software without detouring.

The advantage for the customer: Time-consuming intermediate steps like the storing of uncompressed original scans for the downstream compression are eliminated. Thus the advantages of the JPM-style PDFs are obvious: The production of very highly compressed scans with both excellent visual and image quality.

Fujitsu/PFU lists PdfCompressor in the ISV program for scanner tools

The world-famous Japanese scanner manufacturer recommends selected and useful tools concerning the scan process to its customers in the context of its ISV (Independent Software Vendor) program. As the first non-Japanese provider LuraTech is now an ISV program participant and now Fujitsu/PFU presents the LuraDocument.jpm PdfCompressor series to its customers. So the successful history of the JPM-style PDFs continues into the next round. If you are interested in using the highly compressed JPM-style PDFs with its excellent text and image quality, please contact our sales:


DMS Expo: JBIG2 compression, linearized JPM-style PDFs and more

The DMS Expo and symposium is imminent. From September 7th to 9th, we will present our product news to you: The newest member of the LuraDocument.jpm family is the 'JBIG2 compression' and will be presented at the DMS for the first time. JBIG2 is an ISO standard of the JPEG group and is suitable for the compression of black-and-white scans or the black-and-white layer in JPM or JPM-style PDF-files. JBIG2 usually replaces TIFF Fax G4 and obtains 30-40% smaller file sizes - lossless! A genuine cost saver for each archive - whether it is black and white or color!

Do you work with multipage-PDF files or place these on the internet? Then our new feature 'linearized JPM-style PDFs' will be of interest to you. You are able to read linearized PDFs while the back pages are still being loaded. Jumping between the pages can also be done much faster. This option is available for the LuraDocument.jpm PdfCompressor and the SDK.

Take a look at the other improvements and product news: The new, faster version of SmartCompress, the new faster LuraWave.jp2 ActiveX Control, the new features of the LuraDocument.jpm ActiveX Control and much more.

To make an appointment: If you are interested in receiving general information concerning “new file formats in Archiving”? Then please visit us for an overview of this during our specialized lecture at the DMS symposium on September, 9th 2004 from 9:00 a.m. to 10:3 a.m. Please see the Tutorial 6 section at:


JPEG2000 standardization: Hidden text and annotations for JPM

The ISO committee continues to work on JPEG2000. Even with this long established standard, and many successful JPEG2000 products, there are empiric reports and customers' requests again and again, which have lead to the so-called 'amendments'. LuraTech has currently initiated an amendment which concerns the storage of the OCR results and similar items within JPEG2000/Part6 (JPM). The amendment is referenced as 'hidden texts and annotations'.

More information on the standard:


New international sales partner: JiAmTech in Korea

As of now LuraTech is 'indirectly local' in Korea. Our new sales partner JiAmTech has competent consultants, who will be delighted to introduce to you the product families of LuraWave.jp2 and LuraDocument.jpm. Discuss on-site and in your own language which ways you can benefit from the advantages of the small files with high image quality. Your support request is in the best hands with JiAmTech.
