LuraTech introduced its new LuraWave JP2 ICS Standard Edition imaging software tool kit. It gives organizations with smaller digital archives the ability to create, store, manage and share high-res JPEG2000 image stores, and deliver image and metadata content through customized websites without plug-Ins or advanced programming skills.

Until now most digital archiving projects have required organizations to spend a lot of time and/or money creating digital archives and sharing them via the web. The Standard Edition offers the same robust engine as the Enterprise Edition to convert JPEG2000 images to JPEG and delivers them "on-the-fly" to the end user's browser-based viewing application. The simplified software tool kit allows the creation of customized viewing applications with advanced image-viewing features, such as panning, zooming and page turning, and eliminates downloading delays.

The newest version of PDF Compressor Server now maintains the quality of embedded images, such as photographs, logos and graphics. The old version PDF Compressor Server applied Mixed Raster Content (MRC) Compression across the entire scanned document, including images embedded on the scanned page. As a result, embedded images also would be segmented into three layers, creating damaging and visible artifacts. The new PDF Compressor Server can identify the location of embedded images and preserve them prior to the MRC compression, thus maintaining the original look and feel of those images. Digitized newspapers, journals and magazines can benefit greatly from MRC compression without sacrificing the visual quality of their embedded photographs, logos and graphics.

Also, we have been able to improve the average compression rate for PDF/A files by 10 percent to 15 percent. You notice this benefit because the scanned and compressed documents are now even smaller and require less storage space. Specifically, this means that the files can be more quickly opened and downloaded from the archive, and also sent more quickly as e-mail attachments.

Last but not least, the LuraDocument PDF Compressor is now available with a professional electronic signature from the Swiss company OPENLiMiT SignCubes AG. Highly-compressed PDF or PDF/A files can be signed electronically and stored in a way that meets legal requirements in a single step, using just one tool. The OPENLiMiT software has been certified by the Federal Office for Security and Information Technology (BSI) in accordance with the international IT security standard, Common Criteria EAL 4+.

If you would like to the use the electronic signature or if you need further information about LuraDocument PDF Compressor, e-mail to: info@luratech.com.
