LuraTech updates document solution

LuraTech has enhanced its document conversion solution with a number of new features, such as unstructured form recognition and the ability to convert born digital documents to PDF/A for long-term archival, states IDM.

LuraDocument PDF Compressor 5.3 provides an improved form recognition module which eliminates manual processes, such as pre-sorting, and supports streamlined conversion of complex, multi-page scanned documents and forms.

Users can read and extract information from the documents; and then prepare it for other applications, such as merchandise management or enterprise resource planning systems.
