Oracle Documaker 13.0 ReadMe

Oracle® Documaker Standard Edition
Version 13.0
December 2024

Documaker version 13.0 is built for the 64-bit architecture. Documaker 64-bit applications support 64-bit processors which can handle larger data sets, perform complex calculations more efficiently and access significantly more RAM than with 32-bit.

Version 13.0 is feature equivalent with Documaker 12.7.2 which was built for the a 32-bit architecture and customers may upgrade to Documaker 13.0 product version at any time. As this is a new architecture, we recommend that the upgrade begin as a new install and do not recommend an in-place upgrade over any existing 32-bit Documaker version.

Critical Patch Updates (CPUs) for Documaker version 12.7.2 (32-bit) will continue during the Premiere support period which ends December 2026.

Documaker 13.0 begins a new support period under the Oracle Lifetime Support Policy.
