Why Scan & Capture only support PDF 1.4. version (and above)?


Why Scan & Capture only support PDF 1.4. version (and above)?

Scan & Capture are not able to automatically process all pdf v1.3 documents. Even when capable to process, Scan & Capture are not able to guarantee the accuracy of the data extracted.

  • PDF v1.3 was released in 1999 and replaced by PDF v1.4 in 2001
  • Many software components do not support v1.3 files, including OCR engines and capture software
  • Security vulnerabilities exist in v1.3 that were fixed in version v1.4
