INTRODUCTION
IRISCompressor is a handy compression tool that allows you to
convert your image and PDF files into compressed PDF or XPS
files in just a few mouse clicks.
The PDF and XPS files IRISCompressor generates are fully textsearchable, thanks to I.R.I.S.' OCR technology (Optical Character
Recognition).
IMPORTANT NOTES
IRISCompressor can process one image file or PDF file at a time. A
file may contain up to 10 pages. The OCR can be done in the
language you select during installation.
In case you want to process more files at the same time, switch to
IRISCompressor Pro.
In case you need to compress larger input files or entire batches of
files, we can recommend other I.R.I.S. products such as Readiris
and IRISDocument Server. These products also support a vast
number of OCR languages. Visit the I.R.I.S. website
http://www.irislink.com for more information.
The information and procedures provided in this documentation are
based on the Windows 7 operating system.
