LEAD Technologies is pleased to announce the release of LEADTOOLS ePrint 6! If you're a regular reader of this blog and/or a LEADTOOLS user, you may be asking yourself, "What is ePrint"? That is understandable if you are only familiar with our flagship imaging SDK product, LEADTOOLS. However, LEAD Technologies actually owns and operates several divisions and subsidiaries which utilize LEADTOOLS within their respective end-user products and utilities. Among those products, LEADTOOLS ePrint is one of the longest running and most successful software applications LEAD has published.

With that mini history lesson out of the way, here is what's new in LEADTOOLS ePrint. Version 6 builds upon and enhances its famous print-to-file conversion of over 150+ formats, Advanced PDF features, Task Printers, Workstation Application and more by upgrading ePrint to use the latest technology from LEADTOOLS Version 18. On top of the across-the-board improvements to ePrint's core functionality, it now comes with support for Optical Character Recognition through LEAD's internally developed Advantage OCR Engine
