Despite the high degree of manual data entry and their associated errors, many organizations continue to be highly dependent on paper faxes for communications with customers, suppliers and business partners. These businesses would benefit from a single, fully-integrated system that could process incoming faxes, capture recipient data, convert it to a searchable document and route it to the user via email.

However, finding the right technology with the necessary document publishing, conversion, compression and distribution functionality, together with the flexibility to work with multiple systems, has been challenging and costly.

Adlib software can deliver a comprehensive and cost effective solution for handling incoming faxes and turning them into optimized and searchable PDF documents using Adlib ExpressRecognition Server and its OCR software technology. In addition, zonal OCR allows the fax recipient's name to be extracted and used for addressing email. An email can then be delivered complete with the fax (as a small, searchable PDF) attached to the message.

Adlib Software’s flexible and innovative XML job ticketing feature is what powers this solution. Job ticketing contains the instructions that Adlib ExpressRecognition Server follows to process a job. It enables users to customize the workflow process, specify PDF conversion and compression settings, set publishing options and determine what delivery methods are employed.
