LANE COVE, Australia - March 31, 2017 - PRLog -- What's New in this Release?

Aspose development team is excited to announce the release of Aspose.Pdf for Android 16.12.0. It supports converting PDF files to EPUB format, the functionality of adding bullet text inside PDF document and the leverage of setting foreground color for text inside PDF document has been provided in recent release. EPUB (short for electronic publication) is a free and open e-book standard from the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF). Files have the extension .epub and Aspose team has been receiving lots of requests from the customers regarding the support for this format. The conversion of PDF file to EPUB format is made possible with the introduction of EpubSaveOptions class. In case users need to convert any existing PDF file, simply need to load the file in Document object, instantiate EpubSaveOptions instance and pass this object as second argument to Save (..) method of Document object. Aspose.Pdf for Android provides the capabilities to add as well as manipulate text inside PDF file. While adding text, users can set formatting for text objects and also can use setForegroundColor(..) method of TextSegment class, which takes Color object as an argument. A PDF file is comprised of Text, Images, Attachments, Annotations, Graphs, and Headings etc. During the content rendering inside PDF file, ASpose team often come across a requirement where it's needed to add contents in bullet format. This requirement can be accomplished using Aspose.Pdf for Android and in order to fulfill this requirement, it's needed to create Dash and Bullet text and then need to create a string objects to represent Bullet and Dash characters. After that, users need to add the TextFragment objects to paragraphs collection of page instance and finally save the PDF document. Apart from above stated features, this release also has significantly improved performance, handling different documents to avoid unexpected behaviors, have greatly improved the PDF to raster images conversion and text extraction capabilities.
