HIMSS 2014 is right around the corner and we hope to see many of you next week! In addition to Device Independent Viewing and Cloud Technology, another major focus during the exhibit will be on how LEADTOOLS can be used to build an economically sustainable healthcare solution and improve business intelligence by mining big data.

Create an Economically Sustainable Healthcare System using LEADTOOLS

• The LEADTOOLS Print-to-PACS functionality can incorporate legacy systems into a digital workflow
• The Cloud Storage interface of the LEADTOOLS PACS Server Framework reduces implementation time and resources, and can reduce ongoing operational costs
• The load balanceable LEADTOOLS PACS Storage Server and HTML5 Medical Viewer can easily scale upwards in a cost effective manner to meet the growth and the demands of any enterprise
• Automate business processes with recognition technologies such as barcode, OCR, ICR, OMR and forms processing

Manage Big Data with LEADTOOLS

• Use LEADTOOLS PDF/A capabilities to normalize all of your documents and images into one format type
• Use the LEADTOOLS Recognition engines to extract metadata

In addition to these features, we will have much more on display at HIMSS including our full line of LEADTOOLS Version 18 SDKs including Medical imaging, Document imaging and Multimedia product offerings. While you are in Orlando enjoying the break from cold weather, we hope you take the time to visit our booth to meet our imaging experts and check out the latest medical and document imaging technology in LEADTOOLS.

The LEADTOOLS Anywhere™ cross platform libraries in LEADTOOLS V18 have been very popular since their release earlier this year. LEAD continues to expand its reach by adding new development platforms and interfaces for Windows Phone 8 and Linux.

Displaying multi-page documents in a zero-footprint web application can be a challenge because of the limitations associated with the <img> tag, which can only display a single image. A common solution is to implement a separate thumbnail viewer and attach JavaScript listener events to change the displayed image in your main "viewer." A more advanced solution may involve detecting the scroll position and modifying the DOM to create a continuously scrolling viewer. Those are both great for any file with multiple pages, but what if you want to take full advantage of more advanced file format features such as PDF bookmarks and hyperlinks?

Many applications don't bother supporting the PDF file format and assume you want to use a third party plug-in to display it. However, the LEADTOOLS HTML5 SDK includes support for not only rasterizing the PDF into an image, but also reading the text, hyperlinks and embedded thumbnails so that you can develop a fully-featured, zero-footprint PDF viewer application! Our engineers are very proud of this functionality and have created the HTML5 PDF Thumbnails and Bookmarks demo so you can see the amazing technology LEADTOOLS has to offer. Additionally, it gives you a huge head start on developing your application since the source code for this demo (and all of our other HTML5 demos) is included with the free, fully-functional LEADTOOLS Evaluation download

This month's white paper is an extremely practical one. In fact, we even had a few conversations with customers at last week's HIMSS conference about this very subject. Document archival has been around for quite a while now, but as archives grow and systems become more spread out and the client device ecosystem is much more diverse, standardizing your document archival system is becoming critical.

If you have need for end-to-end PDF and PDF/A functionality including OCR, Virtual Printing, HTML5 viewing and more, you will benefit greatly from our March white paper!
