February 8, 2023 – CDP Communications announces the new release of STREAMdiff 3.5

Highlights

New Features

  • Suppress Text Elements
    • The user can now suppress text items that meet a specific criteria. The suppressed items will not be part of the association or compare.
    • This feature will allow users to ignore text items created with a font height or size of zero. Or text items drawn with a white colour.
  • Suppress Report Summary and Report Statistics from output PDF Report
    • The user can now optionally prevent the report statistics page and report summary page from being added to the output PDF report.
  • Comments, No-Ops and TLEs will be associated even if the order of the elements are different
    • This provides an easier way for the user to detect differences in the Non-Visual items as they are now associated (even if the order in the data file is not the same)
  • Ignore Font in Space Character when Combining Strings
    • In some cases, the space character is drawn with a different font, which prevents text items from being combined. The user can optionally ignore the font for spaces when combining text.
  • Font Type Identification improvement
    • Font analysis will now detect if a font is embedded or referenced and will display a difference accordingly
    • For PDF/A or PDF/UA compliance the user needs to ensure that the fonts are embedded. The application will display a difference if the font has changed to be referenced.
  • Option to Ignore Invisible Graphics when Visual Verification is enabled
    • Graphic items marked as “Invisible” were suppressed when Visual Verification was enabled. In some cases, visible graphics were incorrectly labeled as “invisible” and the differences were ignored form the compare. The user now has the option to disable this feature.
  • OKVC can use TLEs and Special Fields as an input
    • When creating OKVC rules, then non-visual elements like TLEs and Special Fields can be used.

Highlights

New Features

Trigger Enhancements

  • Regular Expressions or Text Masks
  • Use the Font Name instead of the text value
  • Use the Page Number to trigger – like the first page of the file

Make Association and Break Association optimizations

  • A trigger condition will be created automatically when dragging paragraphs. This makes creation of the rules much easier when several paragraphs need to be changed.

Postscript Input

  • Postscript text compare can now be performed.

PCL Input

  • PCL text compare can now be performed.

PDF Output Report

  • A PDF report can be created with a side-by-side view.

Ignore Angled Watermarks

  • The user can optionally ignore angled text usually used for watermarks.

Enable/disable Autorotate

  • The user can disable the auto-rotate feature and set a hard-coded rotation for the data.

Flow Enhancements

  • Major flow and association enhancements have been made to allow the application to better detect paragraphs and other items. Existing projects will not be affected by these changes, but new project will use the new flow method.

Automatic DocID

  • Document ID automatically defined for files with less than 30 pages (this can be configured).

Check Font Styles

  • Check only the font style (Bold, Italic or Underline) instead of all font attributes.

Overlapping Line Support

  • Option to reduce the bounding box to handle scenarios with overlapping lines.

Default Trigger Naming

  • When creating a trigger, by default the name of the trigger is the first 15 characters of the text value.

Set Project Setup Location

  • Option to set a different location for the project setup and parameter files.
