- Smart Rebuild & OCR Optimization: Made ImageMagick pre-rasterization ('Enhance OCR accuracy') optional, allowing significantly faster OCR runs when unchecked. Default settings now have Smart Rebuild enabled and Enhance OCR disabled.
- Remove Digital Signatures Card: Extracted digital signature stripping into a standalone pipeline step (runs as Step 1) and card, restricted to Pro and Trial tiers.
- GUI Help button redirect: Updated help action to redirect users directly to localized website guide sections based on current interface language.
- Pricing and Guide Updates: Added standalone 'Remove Digital Signatures' tool and page, updated pricing tables, sitemaps, and robots.txt.
- Enhance OCR Accuracy option: Added an optional 'Enhance OCR accuracy' checkbox in Rebuild Settings. When checked, it pre-rasterizes scanned pages using ImageMagick at the user-selected DPI, resolving character recognition regressions and line-select issues on low-res or tilted scans.
- Remove Digital Signatures option: Added a checkbox in Sanitize Settings to strip digital signatures and restrictions from PDF documents without full rebuild or OCR.
- Encryption engine file copy fix: Prevented non-PDF files from being lost during encryption pipeline stages; they are now correctly copied to the destination folder.
- Rebuild OCR Engine Optimization: Implemented a fast path for 1-page and fully scanned documents, increasing OCR speed by up to 50% by eliminating redundant page-by-page split/merge processes.
- High-Fidelity Rendering: Configured ImageMagick and Ghostscript to render with 95% JPEG quality (-quality 95 and -dJPEGQ=95), drastically reducing generation loss when combining multiple pipeline options.
- Self-Contained Installer: Removed system-wide .NET 8 Desktop Runtime check, making the installer completely standalone.
- Licensing Verification Fix: Switched silent startup check to the validation endpoint to prevent exceeding activation limits, and added protections to prevent local cache wiping on temporary network/server glitches.
- Deactivate License Button: Added a 'Remove License' button in the application to easily free up activation slots and transfer licenses between devices.
- Smart Rebuild & OCR: Added settings gear to Rebuild & Repair. It now performs page-by-page text copyability checks and skips OCR on pages that already contain selectable text, dramatically increasing speed and preserving vector quality.
- Licensing Limits Enforced: Basic license holders now have a 1,000 files/day limit enforced on both web and desktop, and are limited to a single processing action per run (all tools remain fully active).
- GUI Improvements: Confined DPI selections to 200, 250, 300, 350, and 400 DPI.
- Metadata Leak Fortified: Expanded exact PDF XMP streams definitions (Author, Producer, Creator), so Sanitize now leaves files strictly bare even on individual selection checkboxes.
- Unclaimed File Logic Alignment: Unclaimed items now participate in full sanitize buffers fully back to back.
- Visual Roadmap alignment: Modified the Roadmap simulator triggers so it correctly lists Sanitize corresponding with execution linear streams flawlessly.
- License Parameter Fix: Resolved length limits absolute.
- Performance Improvements:
- Fixed OCR Micro-thrashing: Lifted static image memory cap thresholds in OcrEngine.cs that choked 600 DPI processing into loop-stuck disk buffers.
- Dynamic Buffering: Processes safely utilize available total RAM dynamically scaling with host workstation power.
- Fixed progress bar visibility for reporting options (PDF Bundle Summary, Advanced Bundle Report, Folder Evidence Report).
- Optimized installer size by removing redundant binary files.
- Added real-time progress tracking for batch tasks.
- Initial release with batch document repair and auditing.
- Preserved folder trees in output.
- Local-only processing for GDPR compliance.
