Dynamsoft Service Setup

[Marieta Reeks]

TheDynamsoft Service is a component which is required to handle the communication between the hardware (scanner, webcam, etc.) and the browser. It represents the core piece of the Dynamic Web TWAIN SDK when it is launched in the service mode.

In CStoreOffice, you will need to install the Dynamsoft Service to scan documents using scanner or camera. You will need to install the Dynamsoft Service only once and then continue scanning documents without any additional steps.

Although the installation process may be a little different depending on the operating system, browser and security settings, in general, you can try to refer to the following instructions if you are not sure how to install the application.

In certain scenarios, there may be requirements to store encrypted image caches on a local disk for temporary data storage or backup purposes. Dynamic Web TWAIN introduces a new feature that facilitates developers in securely storing image caches in encrypted form within the Dynamsoft Service folder.

MacOS Service Hotfix

Due to changes introduced with ICA drivers, Dynamic Web TWAIN may exhibit strange behaviour while scanning. This release updates the Dynamsoft Service for MacOS to address these issues. See this article for more details.

DWObject process optimization

Fixed an issue where if the Web TWAIN object was deleted from context mid scan, the scanning queue would not terminate, leaving any future requests being left pending in queue.

New Features

Image Viewer

Add a new property zoomOrigin to determine the zoom origin as well as adding to ImageEditor and EditorSettings.

Preview Feature

PDF Compressor (Beta)

PDF Compressor is a compression technology based on color clustering which can help to reduce the file size when saving images as a PDF file. To preview this feature, please see this demo. Please contact us if you have any feedback or suggestions.

Improvements

Image Viewer

Optimize display speed of images in viewer in n*n ViewMode.

Android Service

When the remaining valid date of the local.dynamsoft.com certificate is less than or equal to 21 days, the certificate will be automatically renewed in the network environment.

Remote Scan

Optimize the configuration pages of Bonjour Service and Proxy Service to make the process clearer and easier to proceed.

General Improvements

Update third-party libraries to the latest version.

Remove redundant 32-bit dlls from Dynamsoft Service 64-bit installation directory.

Remote Scan

The remote scan solution powered by Dynamic Web TWAIN is now officially available. With it, you can turn any of your traditional document scanners into a network-able scanner and allow your end users to use it without installing anything on the client device. Read this documentation to learn the Remote Scan solution works.

Improvements

Image Viewer

The Viewer component has been migrated to a dedicated resource file. This will allow for viewerless implementations of Dynamic Web TWAIN to reduce the load by removing the necessity of loading the Viewer resources into memory even when the Viewer is not being used. See the property Dynamsoft.DWT.UseDefaultViewer.

Added the enum EnumDWT_WorkMode with a new option for image editing

Added save() to the ImageEditor object

Dynamic Web TWAIN v18.1 is restructured into two editions. While the standard Service Edition focuses on interactions with scanners, the Plus Edition offers support for mobile cameras as well. The goal is to make sure the Service Edition is small-sized, easy-to-use, and stable. The Plus Edition, on the other hand, is more comprehensive and offers flexibility in platforms and devices.

New and Improved Features

Mobile Web Capture

Improved performance and user experience with re-designed mobile document capture workflow. Some highlights:

The original copy of an image is kept in the new document editor object so you can always go back to the original image to make any edit.

Interface elements in the viewer/editor are now customizable. You can easily add/remove icons or change their style.
