Miraplacid Text Driver 2008

Miraplacid Text Driver 2008 for Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista extracts text from any printable documents. After installation on your PC, Miraplacid Text Driver appears as a new printer in your system. When document is printed, Miraplacid Text Driver opens a dialog with Preview Window. You can save resulting text to disk, upload to FTP or HTTP server, email it, print it to a real printer, or send to Clipboard.
You can save the extracted information as plain, formatted text or as XML or RSS feed for future processing in all installed codepages and Unicode.
Miraplacid Text Driver 2008 adds an icon to the desktop. All the documents you drag and drop to this icon will be printed behind the scenes and processed by Miraplacid Text Driver. Turn "Auto Save Mode" on to handle text extraction and processing without waiting for your input. Filenames and paths of the resulting files can be constructed using special tags: {{TERMINAL}}, {{DOCNAME}}, {{EXT}}, {{USER}}, {{MACHINE}}, {{SYSFOLDER}}, {{PAGE}}, {{IDENTITY}}, {{JOB}}, {{DATE}} or {{TIME}}. They will be replaced with appropriate values.
With "Print a copy to" option, you can print original print job to your physical printer at the time of extracting text.
You can choose between Unix(LF) and Windows(CRLF) line breaks.
You can create multiple virtual text drivers in your system, each with individual settings. If you need to save one form to disk and send the other form by email, just print one form to one virtual printer and the other - to the second virtual printer.
Version 2008 supports text printing from DOS programs.
As a developer, you may control printing process from your own software.

If you wish to use Text Driver in Terminal Services environment, please, use special Terminal Edition of Text Driver.

If you wish to use Text Driver as integrated part of your own product, please, use Miraplacid Text Driver SDK.

New in version 2008

There was a feature to use original document name in the saved file name, but it inflexible. For your convenience, we have added tag {{DOCNAME}} into file name and path. If path does not exists yet, it will be created. File exatension now represented by {{EXT}} tag.
FTP create recursive pathes on FTP server when necessary.
Windows Vista Security Requirements compatibility improved.
When Windows prints text document, it sometimes splits a phrase into separate chunck. Miraplacid Text Driver usually does good job gluing it back together, but sometimes it needs a little bit of fine-tuning. New version has "Whitespase size". You can adjust it to help Miraplacid Text Driver to distinguish cunked phrases from separate columns of text.
Some problems fixed in software and documentation.
Administrators may save "Common settings" for users who do not have their profiles yet.
