Refreshed design for macOS Tahoe while staying true to PDFScanner’s roots. The app has been on the App Store for 15 years and has received free updates for every new macOS release! A huge thank you to everyone who bought it and still uses it to organize their documents! Additionally, this update provides experimental alternative backends for both scanning (ESCL/AirScan) and OCR (Apple System frameworks, only on Tahoe) that can be enabled on the Advanced Preferences tab in Settings.

Minor improvements and bug fixes

New: PDF/A support (requires at least macOS Big Sur): Documents scanned with PDFScanner can now be saved conforming to the PDF/A standard, which defines a subset of PDF that is guaranteed to be always displayed in the same way (e.g. by forbidding certain features and embedding all fonts). Many industry-specific regulations and certifications require PDF/A for long-term document archiving. This release also improves scanning from iOS, so page sizes now better reflect the real size of the document. This is still not perfect, but unfortunately the iPhone/iPad does not provide sizing information, so PDFScanner has to guess based on the layout. Additionally, OCR accuracy has been improved.

New: Scan from nearby iOS devices You can now use your iPhone or iPad to take a picture of a document and import it in PDFScanner. Perspective correction is done on device and with adequate lighting the quality comes close to using a real scanner. This feature requires your Mac and iOS device to be logged in with the same iCloud account and the "Handoff" feature to be activated on both devices.

* Moved default save / compression options in Preferences and allowed to change them in the save window on a per-save basis * Bugfixes

PDFScanner is now 10 years old and has been updated for free at least once a year, so it's time to change the versioning scheme. Instead of version 1.17, this one is called 2021.5 (the 5th update in 2021) and future updates will follow that naming convention. This means there won't be a version 2 and therefore updates will always stay free. Maybe in the future some pro features will be added added as an in-app purchase - but I promise I won't take existing features from you and charge for them! In this release: * Addes Turkish language * Major improvements in OCR speed and accuracy * Bugfixes
