We are pleased to announce the release of version 1.9.1 of our ready-to-use barcode reading application. Below are the details of the new features which continues to make BardecodeFiler one of the most powerful barcode reading applications available.

PDF documents are now split in such a way as to preserve searchable data and other properties of the original file. An option has been added to the PDF tab in Options to allow the old method to be used if needs be.

It is now possible to reset options back to default values and import/export settings through the Import/Export tab in Options. Note that folder values and the license key are not over-written on reset or import.

Fixed interval split mode now works as expected, including the case when the “Process Images with no barcode” option has been checked.

Template tokens have been added for the current date
(%YEAR2/%YEAR4/%MONTH and %DAY).

Template tokens can now be included in barcode values or reformatted barcode values (using the Re-Format tab in Options).

Improved support for TIF documents using Type 6 (old style jpeg) gray-scale compression. Please note that there is still only limited support for TIF documents using full color documents compressed using old style jpeg.

If you want to try the latest version just head over to the download page, we will be delighted to supply evaluation licenses upon request.

Softek Software are proud to announce they will be a shirt sponsor for the newly formed Cormorant RT (road cycling team) which will be based in Edinburgh and competing through the 2013 system. We will be keeping our website up to date with their results and race reports. For more information check back to the 'follow our cycling team' page of our website. The roster is still being finalised but we expect the team to be competitive across entry level races in Scotland and work towards the aim of obtaining higher category licenses.

We're pleased to announce that we have a new version of the Softek Barcode SDK for IOS that supports the armv7s architecture. This will allow developers to link their apps against the libbardecode.a library in XCode 4.5 GM when building for an iPhone 5.

The new version of the sdk can be downloaded from the following link:

We have received reports of difficulty linking libbardecode.a under XCode 4.5 GM, despite the fact that it worked ok under XCode 4.5 DP2. The following article gives some more detail:

We are currently working on a resolution to the problem and will update this page as soon as news becomes available.
