Corel Photo-Paint 9
Corel Photo-Paint is the well known image creation and photo editing application. more>>
However, using this new Version 9 was a much better experience because of what I can best describe as refinement. Before getting into how Corel PHOTO-PAINT 9 performed, let me first describe what the package contains and generally what it is designed to do. The name PHOTO-PAINT is about as broadly descriptive as you can get for such an image-editing product.
It has the tools, processes, and brushes that computer artists need for painting and digital photographers require to acquire images from scanners and digital cameras, color correct, manipulate, and incorporate in a publishable document containing not just photographic images, but graphic design elements and standard text and manipulated type fonts.
In addition to the main paint and image-editing application, Corel also includes Bitstream Font Navigator 3.0 to organize, view, and select fonts stored in your operating system. Canto Cumulus 4.0 is an acclaimed professional digital asset management application; Adobe Acrobat Reader for access to documentation in Acrobat .PDF format on disc; DigiMarc Digital Watermarking to record your copyright within images; Human Software Squizz an image morphing utility; Corel Capture 9 to record and save screenshots; and Corel Script Editor to automate processes.
The features within Corel PHOTO-PAINT 9 are more extensive than just about any image editor consumer software product currently available. They include in part:
Artistic media brushes that may be used directly and as cloning brushes to paint or repaint using all kinds of natural painting effects as well as more imaginative options.
Layered object effects can be created to manipulate, composite, as well as add graphic elements like type with drop shadows over a photographic image.
You can either open or save to a wide variety of graphics file types making resources created in a number of different applications available, as well as creating images in PHOTO-PAINT that can be used in other applications, including Adobe Photo-shop, MetaCreations painter, among others.
Ixla digital camera support is built-in providing easy access to the images stored by most of the popular brands and models of cameras.
Full support is included for HTML output to create content for web publishing.
Encapsulated PostScript Export includes enhanced color management to assure high quality printing and output to offset press reproduction.
Images created in PHOTO-PAINT may be output in PDF format for web or offset printing targets.
A Wizard is included which makes output to a pre-press service bureau easy.
More extensive and controllable access support of color management is included, incorporating the selection of one of a number of standard color workspaces with ICC profiles which may be imbedded in output files.
And in Corel tradition the package includes a clip art library of 1200 items, 1500 royalty free photos, 750 floating objects, and 300 TrueType fonts.
PDFlib TET 2.2
PDFlib TET (Text Extraction Toolkit) is software for reliably extracting text information from any PDF file. more>>
In addition to low-level text retrieval TET contains advanced content analysis algorithms for determining word boundaries, removing redundant duplicate text (such as shadows and artificial bold). Using the auxiliary pCOS interface you can retrieve arbitrary objects from the PDF, such as metadata, hypertext, etc.
Fully functional evaluation versions of TET including documentation and samples are available from the TET download page for all supported platforms. Purchasing a license and applying the license key will fully enable the evaluation version for production deployment.
With PDFlib TET you can:
- extract text from PDF, e.g. to store it in a database
- implement a search engine for processing PDF
- convert the text content of PDF pages to XML for processing with other tools
- process PDFs based on their contents
Supported PDF Input
PDFlib TET supports all relevant flavors of PDF input:
- all PDF versions up to PDF 1.7 (Acrobat 8)
- all font and encoding types: base 14 fonts, TrueType, PostScript, OpenType, CID fonts
- encrypted PDF with 40- and 128-bit encryption (appropriate permission settings or password required)
Unicode
Although text in PDF is usually not encoded in Unicode, PDFlib TET will normalize the text from a PDF document to Unicode:
- TET converts all text contents to Unicode. In C the text will be returned in the UTF-8 or UTF-16 formats, and as native Unicode strings in all other language bindings.
- Ligatures and other multi-character glyphs will be decomposed into a sequence of their constituent Unicode characters.
- Vendor-specific Unicode assignments (Private Use Area, PUA) are identified, and mapped to characters in the common Unicode area if possible.
- Glyphs without appropriate Unicode mappings are identified as such, and are mapped to a configurable replacement character.
Full CJK Support
TET includes full support for extracting Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text. All predefined CJK CMaps (encodings) are recognized; horizontal and vertical writing modes are supported.
Content Analysis and Word Identification
TET can be used to retrieve low-level glyph information, but also includes advanced algorithms for content analysis:
- Detect word boundaries to retrieve words instead of characters.
- Recombine the parts of hyphenated words.
- Remove duplicate instances of text, e.g. shadow and artificial bold text.
- Recombine paragraphs into reading order.
- Reorder text which is scattered over the page.
- Reconstruct lines of text.
Geometry
TET provides precise metrics for the text, such as the position on the page, glyph widths, text direction. Specific areas on the page can be excluded or included in the text extraction, e.g. to ignore headers and footers or margins.
Version restrictions:
- Unlicensed versions support all features, but will only process PDF documents with up to 10 pages and 1 MB size. Evaluation versions of TET must not be used for production purposes, but only for evaluating the product. Using TET for production purposes requires a valid TET license.
Enhancements:
- repair mode for damaged PDF repairs damaged documents which were rejected by earlier versions of TET
- support for PDF 1.7, the file format of Acrobat 8
- support for AES-encrypted PDF (appropriate password required)
- TET command-line tool: extract the text based on article threads in the document
- updated pCOS interface (the same pCOS as in PDFlib 7)
- Perl language binding
- many new heuristics and workarounds
- Unicode mappings for more documents
- improvements in the Wordfinder
- various bug fixes
- TET Plugin for Acrobat as a free tool and TET technology demo
