• There are new options in the Quick Fields Options dialog box:
• Use JPEG compression: Selecting this option will change the default format of color or grayscale pages generated from PDFs or images scanned through Quick Fields using Laserfiche Capture Engine, WIA capture engine, TWAIN, ScanConnect, or Kofax scan sources.
• Allow editing of list fields: If this option is selected, you will be able to type text into the list field box, add tokens, or select a value from the list's drop-down menu.
• Show summaries for document classes in the Options tab: Specify if you want summaries displayed under each option in a document class's Options tab.
