This release will extend OCR support from standalone images (JPEG, JPG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, and PDF) to images embedded inside the following files and file types: Office files (XLSX, DOCX, PPTX), container files (zip, rar, 7z, and more), and PDF files. Image-only PDF files are already supported, and this this release will support hybrid PDF files containing images and searchable text.
