LuraDocument JPM/PDF for Kodak Capture software: Request demo now!

During the CeBIT the LuraDocument JPM/PDF Exporter for the Kodak Capture Software (CS) was introduced for the first time to the public and encountered large interest. Now the modul is released and can be requested as demo version on our website and can also be licensed as full version.

The LuraDocument JPM/PDF Kodak CS Exporter which intergrates itself smoothly into the Capture Software enables the users to export scanned documents highly compressed with optimal quality directly from the Kodak Capture Software. In doing so the user can select apart from all well- known setting possibilities whether he would like to produce JPEG2000/ Part6 files (JPM-format) or the LuraDocument PDF files generated with the methods of JPEG2000/Part6. The last-mentioned can be viewed without any additional software or plugins in the Acrobat Reader starting from version 5. In both formats - LuraDocument JPM and LuraDocument PDF - scanned documents are divided into three layers and each layer is compressed with a compression process which is optimal coordinated to it. This principle has been standardized as 'multilayer compression' for document compression by the ISO as JPEG2000/Part6. As option for the black/White layer there is also JBIG2 available besides fax G4 compression.

The modul works optimally both for black-and-white originals (JBIG2 compressed PDF) and for gray scale documents as well as for full-color documents. Apart from the enormous compression rate and the excellent quality, with the segmented black/white layer one receives the optimal cleaned original for a following OCR. Increased recognition rates are a further effective cost advantage.

IS&T Archiving Conference: JPEG2000, the Archiving and Access format

From April 26th to 29th, 2005 the second IS&T Archiving Conference takes place in Washington, DC, which LuraTech attends among other things with the lecture 'New File Formats in Archiving: JPEG2000, High Compressed PDF, JBIG2 with Real World Examples'. The lecture explains among other things why JPEG2000 as 'digital original' is an optimal storage format for scanned originals of libraries and archives. It also explains that with the features 'progressive decoding' and 'region decoding' JPEG2000 can be used as access format at the same time. Further access formats like JPEG2000/Part6 and LuraDocument PDF will be presented in particular against the backround of the optimal transcoding. Certainly the meta data storage will come up, too. Everyone who manages to come to Washington, DC within the period of the cherry blossom should not miss the lecture on April 29th at 10:30h. Everyone who will not be able to come can reread the concepts here:
