This was the first workflow solution that LuraTech built on top of its software development kits. In 2002 LuraTech created the PDF Compressor, applying the concepts of MRC layered document compression to PDF standards, especially PDF/A. LuraTech has also taken part in the development of the JPEG 2000 standard. Since then, LuraTech has developed several software development kits (SDKs) and computer applications for creating and handling PDF documents. LuraTech developed a segmentation technology to deal with scanned documents containing mixed raster content (MRC), resulting in the creation of LuraDocument LDF, a proprietary document format for the compression of scanned documents. LuraTech was founded as a part of a joint project with the Technical University of Berlin intended to bring wavelet compression techniques to digital still images.

Its customers are primarily organizations involved in long-term document archiving and scan service providers. LuraTech is a software company, owned since 2015 by Foxit Software, with offices in Remscheid, Berlin, London, and in the United States, which makes products for handling and conversion of digital documents.
