As a long time user of LEADTOOLS, I am very satisfied with the update, as well as the new features in the tool kit. Some new features include, a new advanced PDF reader, a new barcode interface and a faster more accurate OCR engine. With more and more companies gearing towards cloud based applications, I'd have to say the most notable update to 17.5 is their Cloud SDK. Allowing developers to use servers to easily create computing applications, such as OCR and barcode recognition. I would recommend version 17.5 to developers who are looking for advanced imaging features. All in all I am very pleased with what the new update has to offer.
