OpenBook 9 Downloads
Read Me First
OpenBook requires that you restart your computer during the installation process. To avoid problems, always download the OpenBook release to your computer first instead of running the executable from the Windows Download dialog box. The following briefly describes how to download and install an OpenBook release.
- Select the download link that appears at the end of this procedure.
- When the dialog box opens, choose Save and select a location where you can easily find the downloaded executable file.
- Run the executable and follow the talking installer.
Demo Version of OpenBook
If you want to try a free, fully-functional demonstration version of OpenBook, select the link below in the Download Link section to install and use OpenBook in 40-minute demo mode. The software will run in this mode until you are ready to purchase a product license and upgrade to the released version. There are several advantages to having one release. For example:
- It eliminates the need to have a separate demo download file or demo CD.
- Unlike previous demo software, you do not have to worry about the software expiring at a future date.
- Finally, you can take advantage of the Check for Updates feature in the Help menu to conveniently update demo software installed from a CD picked up at a show or downloaded months ago from Freedom Scientific.
For more information about demo products, see Freedom Scientific Demo Software.
Download Link for Current OpenBook Release
Note: If your corporate firewall prevents you from downloading files using FTP (File Transfer Protocol), use the HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) links instead.
FineReader Languages
Select the link below to install additional languages for the FineReader OCR engine. This is only necessary if you download and install OpenBook from the Freedom Scientific Web site. OpenBook must be installed prior to running the installer for the additional languages. Note that these languages are automatically installed when using the OpenBook program CD.
