| Functional area | Description |
|---|---|
| Technology | Fixed an issue where the Document Capture service would use the PDF file to create the png-files used for showing the document pages in the web client.

The service has now been changed to obtain the correct coordinates aligned with the web client's visual presentation. |

The contents of the installer are the same as for 6.05, so if you have installed 6.05 and experience no issues, it is not necessary to install this update. However, if you experience problems processing PDF-files (version 2.0), we recommend uninstalling the 6.05 service and installing this version. |
