Public API and Backwards Incompatible Changes

UnembedFonts property was introduced to OptimizationOptions class. If the property is set to true - the fonts become not embedded.

 Document doc = new Document("input.htm");

Document.OptimizationOptions opt = new Document.OptimizationOptions();

opt.UnembedFonts = true;doc.OptimizeResources(opt);

doc.Save("output.pdf");

CompressImages and ImageQuality properties were introduced to OptimizationOptions class.
- If CompressImages set to true all images in the document will be recompressed and compression is defined by ImageQuality property which is value of quality in percent. 100% is unchanged quality and image size. To decrease image size use ImageQuality < 100.

 Document doc = new  Document("input.htm");

Document.OptimizationOptions opt = new Document.OptimizationOptions();

opt.RemoveUnusedObjects = false;

opt.LinkDuplcateStreams = false;

opt.RemoveUnusedStreams = false;

opt.CompressImages = true;

opt.ImageQuality = 10;

doc.OptimizeResources(opt);

doc.Save("output.pdf");

InputEncoding option was introduced into HtmlLoadOptions class
- The InputEncoding may be set to explicitly set the encoding of the document.

 HtmlLoadOptions options = new HtmlLoadOptions();

options.InputEncoding = "windows-1252";

Document doc = new Document("input.htm", options);

doc.Save("output.pdf");

Option LettersPositioningMethod has been introduced into HtmlSaveOptions.
Enumeration LettersPositioningMethods was introduced into Aspose.PDF namespace.the enumeration provides the following values:
- UseEmUnitsAndCompensationOfRoundingErrorsInCss

It’s the default method. It uses EM-units and special algorithms of compensation for rounding errors. It’s preferable for usage in IE10.0 and more fresh versions and gives better scaling of captions when scaling is necessary UsePixelUnitsInCssLetterSpacingForIE. It allows to get sometimes more precise results in old IE browser versions. Following code snippet demonstrates how to optimize letter positioning in old IE browsers.

 Document pdfDocument = new Document(@"input.pdf");

HtmlSaveOptions saveOptions = new HtmlSaveOptions(HtmlDocumentType.Xhtml);

// checked settingsaveOptions.LettersPositioningMethod = HtmlSaveOptions.LettersPositioningMethods.UsePixelUnitsInCssLetterSpacingForIE;

pdfDocument.Save(@"output.html", saveOptions );

SaveInAllFormats font saving mode was introduced in HtmlSaveOptions.FontSavingModes enumeration.

Following code snippet demonstrates how to generate 3 sets of fonts (EOT, WOFF,TTF):

 Document doc = new Document("input.pdf");

HtmlSaveOptions htmlOptions = new HtmlSaveOptions();

htmlOptions.FixedLayout = true;

htmlOptions.RasterImagesSavingMode = HtmlSaveOptions.RasterImagesSavingModes.AsExternalPngFilesReferencedViaSvg;

htmlOptions.FontSavingMode = HtmlSaveOptions.FontSavingModes.SaveInAllFormats;

doc.Save("output.html", htmlOptions);

Star values were added into Aspose.PDF.InteractiveFeatures.Annotations.TextIcon.TextIcon enumeration:

Cross

Cross icon.Circle
Circle icon.Star
Star icon.

The code demonstrates how to use new icons in TextAnnotation:

 TextAnnotation ta = new TextAnnotation(page, new Rectangle(100, y - size, 100 + size, y));

ta.Icon = TextIcon.Star;page.Annotations.Add(ta);

Layer class was introduced

The Layer class contains the following properties:

Name
Layer NameId
layer IdContents
layer operators listLayers

collection was added to Page class

Following code snippet demonstrates how to add layers to Pdf document:

 Document doc = new Document();

Page page = doc.Pages.Add();

Layer layer = new Layer("oc1", "Red Line");

layer.Contents.Add(new Operator.SetRGBColorStroke(1, 0, 0));

layer.Contents.Add(new Operator.MoveTo(500, 700));

layer.Contents.Add(new Operator.LineTo(400, 700));

layer.Contents.Add(new Operator.Stroke());

page.Layers = new ArrayList();

page.Layers.Add(layer);

layer = new Layer("oc2", "Green Line");

layer.Contents.Add(new Operator.SetRGBColorStroke(0, 1, 0));

layer.Contents.Add(new Operator.MoveTo(500, 750));

layer.Contents.Add(new Operator.LineTo(400, 750));

layer.Contents.Add(new Operator.Stroke());

page.Layers.Add(layer);

layer = new Layer("oc3", "Blue Line");

layer.Contents.Add(new Operator.SetRGBColorStroke(0, 0, 1));

layer.Contents.Add(new Operator.MoveTo(500, 800));

layer.Contents.Add(new Operator.LineTo(400, 800));

layer.Contents.Add(new Operator.Stroke());page.Layers.Add(layer);

doc.Save("output .pdf");
