CAPTOR for BlackBerry 3.5.6 (iOS): BlackBerry Dynamics Workflows

We are proud to announce the release of CAPTOR for BlackBerry 3.5.6 for iOS. This app update includes major improvements to how content can be shared between CAPTOR and other BlackBerry Dynamics apps such as Work.

Contextual Multi-Share: If you wanted to share multiple content items in the past, you were required to repeat the sharing process for each item, or ZIP them into one single attachment (unless you were sharing multiple photos as a PDF). For many reasons this was problematic. With v3.5.6, you can now share content as individual files in one step! Open a folder, tap Select, tap on each content item you want to share, and then tap Share. Or, swipe left on a folder to share the entire contents of that folder at once.

If the content you select to share is all the same type (ex. two or more photos), you will be presented with File Format options of JPEG, PDF, or ZIP. The JPEG option is new and would export the photos as individual items. Similarly, if you selected two or three scanned documents you would have File Format options of PDF or ZIP, whereas the PDF option would export the individual PDF documents.

If you select some combination of photos, videos, documents, or audio recordings, you will be presented with File Format options of Multiple or ZIP. Choosing Multiple would export individual files, each in their own appropriate file format.

Importing Content: CAPTOR now supports a variety of workflows that involve copying or sharing content from other Dynamics apps into CAPTOR. For example, if you receive a email in Work with a photo attached, you can easily copy it into CAPTOR using either the Open In option (if enabled) or the Save function.

You can also select one or more files in the Docs folder of Work and copy into CAPTOR. If copying one file, open it, tap the three dots on the top right, and tap Save next to the CAPTOR app icon. If copying multiple files from Docs, tap the circled checkmark button, select the items to copy, tap the three dots at the bottom left, then select Open In CAPTOR for BlackBerry.

CAPTOR 3.5.3: Major Document Scanning Upgrade

Beginning today and over the next week we will be rolling out a new CAPTOR app update for iOS that dramatically improves the document scanning capabilities. The goal was to streamline the scanning process and improve the quality of the resulting PDF file.

• All new document scanning process. We wanted to streamline the document scanning process and make it more natural. It is now much easier to adjust cropping and apply color filters. For example, scanning a three page document and adjusting the crop edges for each page required 31 taps with the old process. The same workflow with the new process only requires 13 taps!

• Auto capture for touchless scanning. CAPTOR now supports auto-capture. Just hold the device over the page and as soon as the app recognizes the outer corners it will automatically scan the page and present the result. This makes scanning multi-page documents extremely fast and efficient. In our tests it is possible to scan a perfect 10 page document in 90 seconds!

• Improved filters (B&W, Grayscale, Color). The new filters do a better job of enhancing text. The filter can be changed during the scanning process or by tapping the thumbnail prior to saving the scan. It is now possible to apply different filters for different pages of the same document.

• Optimized PDF files. Improving the quality of the resulting PDF is the real goal. If you are working from home and using CAPTOR to scan important documents that need to be archived, reviewed by co-workers, or sent to customers, the quality of the document is critical. This update is just the first step for improving PDF quality. Our next release will go even further to creating beautiful, clean, easy-to-read, and optimally sized PDF documents.

Please note, the update will only be evident on devices running iOS 13+. If your company still supports some devices with iOS 12, this particular app update will not be a meaningful change, however the next planned update will benefit both iOS 12 and 13 devices. More on that soon!
