Generate Multiple Barcodes on Single Image, Code16K Encoding & Decoding

What’s new in this release?

The new version of Aspose.BarCode for Java 6.0.0 has been released. There are many different types of barcodes, often referred to as barcode symbologies. From this release, the Aspose.BarCode API enables developers to decode the Code16K symbology. In the previous version, we added Code16K encoding; now both encoding and decoding Code16K are supported. Users can now retrieve all possible 1D barcodes using a single method call. The BarCodeReader.getAllPossibleBarCodes method allows them to do so. Please find the details of this feature in the documentation topic: Get all Possible 1D Barcodes from an Image. Barcode recognition percentage gives a clear picture based on the quality and performance parameters. The BarCodeReader.getRecognitionQuality method helps with that. We noticed time and memory consumption problems with the PatchCode symbology. When scanning PatchCodes from TIFF files memory consumption was around 150MB to 200MB. This has is now been fixed and memory usage is now around 40MB. Also, these sample graphics now take only 1.6 seconds to be recognized. The DataMatrix performance with large pictures has been upgraded. Previously, it took too long to be recognized. Key factors of this improvement are “Diagonal check” and “Strict angle check”. It’s now easy to generate multiple barcodes on a single image. We just need to follow a simple code snippet. The BarCodeBuilder.setThrowExceptionWhenCodeTextIncorrect method has been added for 1D barcodes. If the code text is incorrect and the value is set to true, an exception is thrown; else, the code text is corrected to match the barcode’s specification. An exception is always thrown for Databar symbologies if the code text is incorrect. It is never thrown for AustraliaPost, SingapurePost, Code39Extended, Code93Extended, Code16K, and Code128 symbologies if codetext is incorrect. Please see the following topic for help: 1D Barcodes with Optional Exception Message in Case of Wrong Code Text.  Below is the list of main improved features and bug fixes added in this release.

• Recognition quality significative
• Code16K recognition
• Datamatrix performance with heavy picture

Aspose Introduces New Java API for MS Visio Files Creation & Manipulation

What’s new in this release?

Aspose is proud to expand its Java products family with the addition of a new product; Aspose.Diagram for Java. We’re committed and work to extend our community. A lot of work was put into porting and testing the code for the new API. It took longer than we expected but we finally got it out the door. Aspose.Diagram for Java is fully ported from the Aspose.Diagram for .NET API. One of the many benefits that the porting process gives you is the ability to use any new feature implemented in the .NET version because it is available automatically in the ported Java version.  This release includes plenty of important features as listed below

• Add and connect Visio shapes – Aspose.Diagram for Java allows developers to add customized shapes and connect them in the diagrams they create. A connection point is a special point on a shape that developers can “glue” connectors to.

• Insert a new blank page into a Visio drawing – Aspose.Diagram for Java can insert a new blank page into a Microsoft Visio drawing. Developers have the option to create a new blank background or foreground page.

• Retrieve Visio connector information – Aspose.Diagram for Java provides mechanisms for retrieving the information that Visio stores about connectors, for example ID and name.

• Retrieve drawing font information – This article shows how to find out which fonts are used in a diagram. Once fonts are installed in the operating system, they are available to your Office programs.

• Lay out Visio shapes automatically – With certain types of connected drawings, such as flowcharts and network diagrams, you can use the layout shapes feature to automatically position shapes. Automatic positioning is faster than manually dragging each shape to a new location.

• Extract all images from a Visio page – In Microsoft Visio, pages are either foreground or background pages. You can extract images from a particular page of a Visio file.

• Add comments to Visio drawings - Aspose.Diagram for Java allows you to place comments anywhere on a diagram page.

• Get the shapes connected to a particular shape – This article explains how to find shapes that are connected to a specific shape.

• Get the connectors glued to a particular shape – This article explains how to find connectors that are glued to a particular shape.

• Rotate a shape with suitable angle - Rotating shape in Microsoft Visio is supported. Aspose.Diagram API allows developers to rotate a shape to any angle.

• Find and replace a shape’s text – Developers can search and replace the text of a shape.

• Add a hyperlink to a Visio shape – This article describes how to add one or more hyperlinks to Visio shapes. A link can jump to another page in the same Visio drawing or diagram, to another Visio drawing, or to a non-Visio document.

• Create user defined cell in the ShapeSheet – The user-defined cells section is a place where we can store information about the shape that does not appear by default. This example describes how developers can add as many user name rows as they need, assign meaningful names to the rows, and set cell values.

• Working with protection on a diagram or shape – While creating complex diagrams in Visio, you might need to protect either a whole diagram or a single shape. Aspose.Diagram prevents or allows changes to a diagram or shape attributes.

Aspose.Diagram for Java supports any operating system that runs Java runtime, including Microsoft Windows desktops and servers, Linux, Ubuntu, and Mac OS X. It runs on J2SE 1.4.x, J2SE 5.0 (1.5), J2SE 6.0 (1.6) or higher.

Set PDF Document Access Privileges & XFA to Standard AcroForm in .NET

What's New in this Release?

Aspose.Pdf for .NET is an award winning API. Over the years it helped developers with PDF document creation as well as manipulation. In every new release, the development team works really hard to introduce new features and fix issues to deliver a better version of the API. Keeping this tradition alive, we have introduced some new features in Aspose.Pdf for .NET 9.3.0. Dynamic forms are based on an XML specification known as XFA, the “XML Forms Architecture”. The information about the form (as far as PDF is concerned) is very vague – it specifies that fields exist, with properties, and JavaScript events, but does not specify any rendering. The contents of such forms are rendered during the PDF display process by respective viewer application. Due to this nature and structure of the forms, if we directly try to convert it to image format, nothing is rendered. Therefore, the forms have to be converted to Standard AcroForms first and then to image. Aspose.Pdf for .NET supports the feature to convert XFA forms to standard forms. In order to cater for this requirement, the values from an enumeration named FormType can be passed to the Document.Form.Type property. The Aspose.Pdf.Generator namespace makes it possible to create PDF files from scratch. During PDF creation, you might want to set document access privileges (restrictions). Similarly, the Aspose.Pdf.Facades namespace has offered the feature to set document access privileges to existing PDF documents for quite some time. Recently, we were asked to support a similar feature in the new Document Object Model of the Aspose.Pdf namespace, so that a single approach can be used to set access privileges when creating new documents or manipulating existing files. For further details, please visit the article in the documentation section about Set Privileges on an Existing PDF File. Adding layers to a PDF is a unique concept. It can be very useful for cases where you want to distribute multi-lingual file and want text in each language to appear on different layers, with the background design appearing on a separate layer. Aspose.Pdf for .NET 9.3.0 supports adding layers to PDF documents. Hyperlinks are added as LinkAnnotation in PDF files. Aspose.Pdf for .NET supports the feature to add a hyperlink to a PDF file, update links, and extract links. It can also get the destination URL of a LinkAnnotation (hyperlink) in PDF documents. We received a requirement for removing only the signature and keeping the signature field, so that the same field can be used to sign the document again and this feature is now available.  Prior to the release of Aspose.Pdf for .NET 9.3.0, the API supported the feature to either save fonts as WOFF or TTF. Unfortunately this meant that fonts could not be loaded in Internet Explorer 6 through 8, so documents didn’t look right when viewed in these browsers. Also for mobile browsers, TTF fonts are required for maximum compatibility. So the solution was to generate 3 sets of fonts, to ensure maximum browser compatibility, and then reference all fonts in the CSS like as shown below.  As well as the new features above, this new version includes fixes related to PDF to image conversion, saving PDF files in a particular PDF version, deleting images from PDF files, performance improvements when generating PDF files and much more.  The list of important new and improved features are given below

• XFA document to static pdf document
