VT Docs 3.3 – Main Features

This release contains two main features:

  1. Improved PDF parsing
  2. Better Starter Compliance Matrix layout

Improved PDF parsing

PDF parsing is a technically tricky issue to solve. This is due to the PDF format’s primary design goal being accurate display/printing on any device. Typically, PDFs don‘t provide a logical structure like other source tools (e.g. MS Word).

Before VT Docs 3.3, PDF parsing could lead to a loss of text structure. Sentences might end up bundled together and hard to read. Also, the parsing sometimes missed references e.g. “1 Introduction”. We wanted to tackle this and improve our PDF analysis with VT Docs 3.3.

You now have a closer match to the original text structure. Less sentences incorrectly bundled together, and references identified. While it might not be perfect, it is much more accurate and easier to read.

Better Starter Compliance Matrix Layout

This new feature affects all your shreds and Excel reports generated with VT Docs. The improvements made to the layout and design output make reports much easier to read. Based on customer feedback, we removed clutter and re-ordered columns. In addition, we added a column to aid filtering. The result is that you can now easily sort by dictionary term in Excel.

Here’s the before and after:
