CVISION Technologies Inc., a leading provider of advanced document capture software, announced the release of PdfCompressor for Kofax Capture 5.0, a Kofax Custom Module that complements Kofax Capture with advanced file compression and superior OCR.

PdfCompressor for Kofax Capture offers highly accurate OCR and dramatic file compression to fully optimize the capabilities of Kofax Capture. Designed specifically for organizations with a high volume of scanned documents, PdfCompressor for Kofax Capture outputs dramatically compressed, web-optimized PDF files that are fully searchable, allowing for greater versatility while integrating seamlessly into existing Kofax Capture document workflows.

The combination of OCR and file compression improves the overall effectiveness of Kofax Capture.
