OpenText is extending support of ApplicationXtender version 7 (SP1) to October 1, 2018 so that you have more time to evaluate the latest version of AX. For those that moved to version 8.0, please note that the end of support date is October 31, 2018.
We believe with this extra time you can review the first full release of ApplicationXtender under the OpenText branding -v16.3. It has a variety of new features: Web based scanning for zero install environments (browser client users), a new faster thumbnail preview, integrated text search and a new OCR engine that decreases processing time when compared to the performance of AX7.0. In fact, AX16.3 halves processing time for small documents and decreasing the time by 20% for files greater than 400 pages.
