ZePrA Feature overview

Take a look at the functional overview and modules of the older ZePrA 1.2.7 version and the new ZePrA 2.0 version. This allows you to compare the features added to the new version. Furthermore the table provides you with the ability to add the additional modules to the comparison chart by simply activating the checkboxes on top. You will find the features of each module by scrolling down the table. Please note that an additional module requires one of the base versions – either the ZePrA TIFF/JPEG or the XL version.
