Exclude Areas from PDF Documents
This feature allows users to exclude a PDF’s header and footer sections from all MAXQDA analyses, such as Word Frequencies and MAXDictio-based analyses.
Easily exclude repetitive text information, such as journal names, page numbers, and header titles.
Excluded areas can be set up for all pages of a PDF document at once.

Automatic Transcription
Ignore disfluencies: you now have the flexibility to exclude verbal fillers (such as “uhm,” “err,” and “hm”) in your English transcripts for enhanced readability or include them for detailed analysis.
The progress indicator now displays the number of ongoing transcription processes, so you can easily track how many transcriptions are in process.
Hebrew has been added as a language option.
True Page Numbers for PDF documents
MAXQDA now detects if a PDF file contains information about “true” page numbering, the numbers on the actual document.
“True” PDF page numbers are now displayed alongside MAXQDA’s native file numbering for easy navigation and are used as source information for copied segments.
PDF Documents
Relink a missing PDF document easily by dragging and dropping it into the corresponding area in the document properties.
Blank characters and hyphens at the end of the line are ignored in analyses using the Smart Coding Tool, Categorize Survey Data, and Categorize Paraphrases functions.

Interface
