Because our FlexSnap viewers are developed from our robust Java imaging SDK, they support all of the file formats offered in our Java library. With FlexSnap you have the ability to view multiple document and image formats, including ABIC, through a universal viewer.
- SnowBatch, our batch conversion application, provides you the capability to perform rapid batch conversion right from your desktop or server. The easy-to-use interface will enable you to quickly convert all your ABIC files to formats suitable for viewing or storage.
What is ABIC?
ABIC is a proprietary check image format created by IBM's high volume check scanners.
Note: ABIC reading is an additional cost option for Snowbound's products. It is available in Java and Windows (ActiveX, DLL, and .NET). ABIC output is not currently supported.
Important: As we all know document and image specifications are intentionally loosely written and rarely updated. As a result many applications create documents “incorrectly” and they do not adhere to the latest specifications.
In order to maintain the highest ethical standards and help provide customers with the most positive user experience, Snowbound Software recommends that, as part of your purchase process, you test your own sample documents against our products. Snowbound, unlike most competitors, develops its own technology. If in the rare case you come across a problem or non-conforming document or image, we can often fix it.
