Atlanta based developer, 360Works today releases Scribe 4, a new major version of their popular FileMaker plug-in. 360Works Scribe is the ultimate document automation plug-in for FileMaker. It allows integration with Word, Excel, and PDF documents. Version 4 adds the ability to read scanned documents with Optical Character Recognition functionality as well as the ability to merge PDFs and get meta-data from them, plus multiple fixes for existing functionality in Scribe.

Atlanta, Georgia - 360Works today is excited to announce a new major version of a popular 360Works plug-in, introducing Scribe 4! 360Works Scribe is the ultimate document automation plug-in for FileMaker; it allows integration with Word, Excel, and PDF documents.

In this release, we are taking it to the next level by adding in the ability to read your scanned documents, such as receipts, forms, or contract PDF files, with OCR (Optical Character Recognition) functionality. Additionally, we added features to allow you to merge PDFs and get meta-data from them, plus multiple fixes for existing functionality in Scribe.

New OCR Functionality:
Scribe 4 ships with brand new OCR functionality to read your scanned documents and extract text to be added into FileMaker. For example, a law firm can scan in loads of paper legal contracts and have the text extracted and imported into the appropriate FileMaker records!Scribe leverages the technology of Amazon Textract which goes beyond simple OCR by not only extracting text but also identifying key information like the contents of fields in forms.

New PDF Merge Feature:
We added two new functions to merge and manipulate PDFs with Scribe. For example, if you have a couple of PDFs stored in container fields, the new function ScribePDFMerge allows the two PDFs to be merged together. The new ScribePDFSplice function allows a multi-page PDF to be split up into smaller PDFs. This is beneficial if you have containers with multi-page PDFs, and only need to utilize a specific part of the entire PDF file.

Get PDF Meta-Data:
You can now get meta-data about a PDF, such as the name of the author and page count. The new ScribeGetPDFAttributes function will return various meta-data about a PDF. This can be helpful if you want to have FileMaker manage PDF files according to the author or number of pages specified in the meta-data.

Multiple Improvements To Existing Functionality:
We also made several upgrades to the existing Scribe functionality. When using Excel with Scribe, the Excel cell reading and writing images to Excel cells has been greatly improved. We also made fixes for the ScribeDocSubstitute function for replacing a value.

Availability:
Scribe 4 is available now. Active maintenance subscribers for Scribe or the 360Works Portfolio Bundle can download new major version 4 at no additional cost. All purchases within the last 12 months are still under an active maintenance subscription. If the maintenance on Scribe has not been renewed within the last 12 months, you will need to purchase a new license to use Scribe 4.

For new license purchases, we have several license types available based on number of users, client-side or server-side usage, and a solution bundle license for developers with a vertical market solution. A free, fully functional demo is available to test Scribe. While in demo mode, Scribe will run for 2 hours every time you launch FileMaker (or FileMaker Server, for server deployment). Full pricing, license type information, and the demo version can be accessed at the Scribe product page.

ArtOptimizer for Illustrator Adds Preserve Details 2 Upscale Method - Published on 01/20/20

Zevrix Solutions announces the release of ArtOptimizer 3.0.8, a feature update to company's image workflow automation tool for Adobe Illustrator. ArtOptimizer helps users reduce the size of Illustrator links and automate complex image transformations. The software also offers image format and color conversion, batch processing, settings presets, and much more. The new version adds support for the Preserve Details 2.0 resampling method - the most advanced upscaling technology in Photoshop.

Toronto (ON), Canada - Zevrix Solutions today announce release of ArtOptimizer 3.0.8 for Adobe Illustrator, a feature update to company's image workflow automation solution. The only tool of its kind for the Mac platform, ArtOptimizer eliminates the excess image data of Illustrator picture links and performs essential image adjustments. The software helps users save disk space as well as cut production time and reduce operational costs through automation of complex image manipulation tasks.

The new version adds support for the Preserve Details 2.0 resampling method, a new upscaling algorithm introduced in Photoshop CC 2018. The new option is the most advanced upscaling technology in Photoshop, which utilizes artificial intelligence to interpolate much more effectively. With this algorithm, image size can increase dramatically with surprisingly little loss of quality. ArtOptimizer users now can select the Preserve Details 2.0 method directly in the app in order to apply it automatically to Illustrator links that require upscaling.

ArtOptimizer is a powerful automation solution for users in the print, prepress, and web design industries. For example, with just a click of a button users can:

* Batch-process Illustrator files
* Scale images in Photoshop to match their dimensions in Illustrator
* Change image resolution to 300 dpi
* Convert RGB images to CMYK profile
* Resave JPEG files as TIFF
* Merge layers and delete unused ones

In the end of processing ArtOptimizer reimports images to Illustrator at 100% in their precise position. As a result users can save gigabytes of disk space and countless hours of optimizing images manually. In addition, ArtOptimizer helps users accelerate document printing and exporting to PDF, speed up file transfer to service providers, reduce job turnaround, and cut costs through faster processing.

Pricing and Availability:
ArtOptimizer can be purchased from Zevrix web site for $120 (USD), as well as from authorized resellers and Adobe Exchange. Licensed users of earlier versions can upgrade to ArtOptimizer 3 for $60. Trial is also available for download. ArtOptimizer requires macOS 10.8-10.15 and Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop CS6-2020.
