What’s new in this release?
We are pleased to announce the release of
Aspose.Pdf for Java 9.5.0. . Aspose.Pdf for
Java has been providing support for adding, updating, deleting and extracting images from PDF files. Recently, we received a requirement for setting the DPI/PPI (Pixels Per Inch) factor for images when adding them to a PDF file, or when replacing existing images in a PDF file. Starting from the release of Aspose.Pdf for Java 9.5.0, we have introduced support for adding an image from a BufferedImage instance to a PDF document. Now you can use any InputStream and not just FileInputStream objects to add an image. So when using a java.io.ByteArrayInputStream object, you do not need to store any files on the system. PDF to HTML conversion is one of the most popular Aspose.Pdf features because it makes it possible to create PDF files that can be viewed on various platforms without a PDF document viewer application. The output HTML is in accordance with WWW standards and can easily be viewed in all web browsers. Using this feature, PDF files can be viewed on hand held devices because you do not need to install any PDF viewing application: a simple web browser is enough to view the file. By default, when converting PDF files to HTML, any images in the PDF are saved in a folder created in the same directory as the output HTML. However, recently we received a request for making it possible to specify a different folder for saving images when generating HTML files. To accomplish this, the saveOptions.SpecialFolderForAllImages property has been introduced. It can be used to specify a target folder for storing output images. Aspose.Pdf for Java offers the feature to add, update, and remove metadata from PDF documents. Before attempting to remove metadata from a PDF, check if the source PDF contains metadata. PCL file to PDF conversion has been supported in Aspose.Pdf for Java for a while. However, in this release we also provide support for HP-GL to PDF conversion. When signing a PDF document using a signature, you basically confirm that its contents should remain “as is”. Consequently, any changes made afterwards invalidate the signature and thus you know if the document was altered. Certifying a document first allows you to specify the changes that a user can make to the document without invalidating the certification. It is possible to store the values of these form fields in a separate file and that file is an FDF (Forms Data Format) file that contains the values of the form fields in key/pair fashion. Using Aspose.Pdf for Java, developers cannot only export the values of their PDF form fields to an FDF or XFDF file but also to an XML file. The most important thing to know is that all these files use different syntax to save the values of PDF form fields. The following code snippets shows the steps to export FDF file from PDF and also how to import FDF file into PDF. As well as the new features mentioned above, this version includes fixes related to converting SVG, PCL, HTML and XPS files to PDF, and converting PDF files to image format, better text and image extraction, general performance improvements when generating PDF files and much more.
