Summary

The OmniPage OCR engine generates files stored in a user's temporary file location. However, Laserfiche does not automatically remove these files after the OCR process is complete if you are OCRing color or grayscale images.

Resolution

There is a hotfix available for Laserfiche products that include the OmniPage OCR engine. The fix includes updated versions of the following files:

• BPOmniOCR.exe (version 7.2.1.3)
• OmniOCRWrapper.dll (version 7.2.1.3)
• OmniPage32.lfo (version 1.0.0.3)

To update the OmniPage OCR component

1. Close any applications that may be using the OmniPage OCR engine.
2. Click the following link to download a zip file containing the hotfix files.

   1. Click Start and then click Run.
