January 2026: languages, PDF improvements, and use-case pages
The January update introduced German and French versions of ScanToExcel, improvements to PDF uploads, and revised use-case pages explaining the converters.
Editorial update . Edited for clarity while preserving the announcement’s historical context.
German and French launched
The interface, tool pages, and documentation were made available in German and French. This was the first language expansion described in the January release.
PDF upload improvements
The update addressed bugs behind failed PDF uploads and added multi-page handling. It described support for both text-based PDFs and scanned pages, including documents such as bank statements and invoices.
Revised use-case pages
The converter pages gained clearer descriptions, input and output examples, and step-by-step guidance. The aim was to help readers choose the relevant tool and understand the resulting file.
Languages planned next
Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, and Dutch were in development at publication. This January post records them as planned, even though later articles describe their launch.
