As part of the LEAD Technologies 25th anniversary, we are creating 25 projects in 25 days to celebrate LEAD's depth of features and ease of use. Today's project comes from SUPPORT GUY NAME.

What is Does

This ...... using LEADTOOLS Version 19.

Have you ever been faced with a web application where you needed to upload a PDF or TIFF version of a document? Most likely, you had to scan that document separately, save it to your desktop, and then upload it. Wouldn't it have been so much easier if you could have clicked a "Scan" button straight from your browser? Are you a software developer that embarked on adding this to your web application only to realize you bit off more than you could chew?

With the new HTML5 Web Scanning SDK in LEADTOOLS Version 19, developing an application with web scanning is easier than ever! Check out our latest white paper that explores this amazing new technology in LEADTOOLS:

Have you ever been working on a zonal OCR project only to discover that the scanned documents were too different from the original document for OCR to be of any practical use? Some differences such as resolution and skew angle can be algorithmically corrected, but what if the zones themselves change in size? What if the data you want to capture is tabular in nature and has an unknown number of rows?

LEADTOOLS introduced its Invoice Recognition and Processing SDK technology in Version 19 to address this very problem. To learn more, check out our latest white paper which explains how to set up and use LEADTOOLS to recognize data from unstructured documents, invoices and more.

Now that LEADTOOLS Version 19 has been released, we'll be using our white papers to dive into the new features in greater detail. This month's white paper is on the LEADTOOLS Document Converter and Document Viewer.

These exciting new frameworks will help developers create, read, and annotate raster and SVG images, annotations, thumbnails, text data and metadata from supported document types such as PDF, DOC, XLS, TIFF, JPEG and more. By using Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) as an intermediate format, the Document Viewer and Converter are able to work with any document, vector or raster image file format in a uniform fashion. Moreover, 100% accurate document-to-document conversion can be accomplished without the need for OCR.

This month we're going back to the basics! Many of our white papers dive into very specific topics and use-cases. We've recently seen an uptick of interest in our core DICOM functionality and have therefore waded into that set of features in this white paper. Boiled down, DICOM is about loading, displaying, modifying and using medical images and its metadata.

Though this is about the "basics" of using DICOM in LEADTOOLS Medical Imaging SDKs, there's hardly anything basic about DICOM so it's all relative. The DICOM specifications are thousands of pages long and we have several experts in house that devote nearly all of their time towards implementing this ever changing imaging format and communications protocol. In typical LEADTOOLS fashion, our experts have exposed that functionality to you in an easy-to-use, yet lacking-nothing-in-features interface on multiple platforms.
