Add HTML Tags/Contents to PDF & Remove Extended Rights from PDF Document

LANE COVE, Australia - Aug. 26, 2014 - PRLog -- What's New in this Release?

We are pleased to announce the release of Aspose.Pdf for .NET 9.5.0. The PDF feature extended rights enables end-users to fill data into form fields by using Adobe Reader and then save the filled form copy. However, it ensures that the PDF file is not modified and, if any modification to the structure of PDF is made, the extended rights feature is lost so that when viewing such a document, an error message is displayed stating that extended rights have been removed because the document was modified. Recently we received a requirement to remove extended rights from PDF document. We are pleased to share that this feature is implemented in the latest release of Aspose.Pdf for .NET, version 9.5.0. Recently we received a requirement to add measurement elements using Aspose.Pdf for .NET (like we can use the measurement tool in Adobe Acrobat) to a PDF document. In order to accomplish this requirement, a class named Measure is added to the Aspose.InteractiveFeatures.Annotations namespace and it describes the measure coordinate system. The Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Text class contains a property named IsHtmlTagSupported which provides the feature to add HTML tags/contents to a PDF file. Content added this way is rendered in native HTML tags instead of appearing as simple text strings. To support a similar feature in the new Document Object Model (DOM) of the Aspose.Pdf namespace, we have introduced the HtmlFragmentclass. During PDF to HTML conversion, fonts, image and CSS files containing style information for the PDF contents are generated. These resources are necessary to maintain the formatting of the output HTML file. However, there might be a scenario when you want to load the PDF file Stream object and you do not need to store or save these resource files on the system or drive. For example, if you don’t have the permissions to saving intermediate resource files or you do not want to save these resources but need to perform conversion on the fly (the file will only be viewed once and is not required for later processing). The FormEditor class’ SetFieldLimit("textbox1", 20) method supports the feature to set the field limit, that is the maximum number of characters that can be placed or inserted into a field. Similarly, we have created a new method to get field limit using DOM approach. As well as the above features, this release includes fixes for many issues and it is a major release.
