Absolute Positioning Support for CSS Objects in HTML to PDF Conversion in .NET Apps

What's New in this Release?

There are indeed improvements at the foundation of the API to enhance performance and its enriched with lots enhancements, which you will appreciate every day. Your applications based on our API will become more essential and productive. HTML to PDF conversion is one of the most widely used and liked feature by our customers and with every new release, we are trying our best to make it more stable and captivating, so that it caters all most all of the scenarios in which our customers use our API. One of the customers recently requested a feature to provide the support for absolute value of CSS position property and in this new release, we are excited to announce that our API now fully supports absolute positioning for CSS objects. With this new release, we get the power to set the font for complete document and all this can be achieved using a single property DefaultTextState. When adding RadioButtonField to PDF document, we need to specify the page number on which it will be rendered. However when creating a PDF file dynamically where we are not entirely certain about the number of pages a PDF document will be comprised of, we cannot specify the exact page number to render the control. So in order to cater such scenarios, we have introduced a new overload of RadioButtonField constructor which takes Document object as an argument. As well as the enhancements and features discussed above, there have been specific improvement for PDF to HTML and HTML to PDF conversion features. Among these fixes, the PCL to PDF, SVG to PDF, PDF to Excel, PDF to DOC, PDF to TIFF and TIFF to PDF conversion, conversion of PDF to PDF/A compliant documents, text replacement, Filling of signature field with an image, flattening of PDF and rendering of PDF to XPS format are also improved.

Add VBA Modules to Workbook, IFNA Formula & Improved Chart Creation using .NET

What’s new in this release?

We are pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Cells for .NET 8.4.2. This release contains some useful features and other enhancements. The most worth mentioning feature of the release is the support for adding VBA modules to the spreadsheets. Starting with this release, Aspose.Cells for .NET has provided support for adding VBA modules to the spreadsheets. Aspose.Cells for .NET 8.4.2 has exposed the VbaModuleCollection.Add method to add a new VBA module to the instance of Workbook. The VbaModuleCollection.Add method accepts a parameter of type of Worksheet to add a worksheet specific module, whereas the existing VbaModule class contains all the module specific properties. Aspose.Cells for .NET 8.4.2 has exposed simplified mechanism to create charts on the fly. Please note, the conventional means of creating charts involves several steps that may include, but not limited to specifying the series and category axis data ranges separately. With new mechanism, all you have to do is to specify the chart’s data range while using the Chart.SetChartDataRange method. The SetChartDataRange method accepts two parameters, where first parameter is of type String in order to specify the cell area from which to plot the data series. The second parameter is of type Boolean that specifies the plot orientation, that is; whether to plot the chart data series from a range of cell values by row or by columns. In the new version, we have also provided some important new enhancements, such as support for IFNA function, added an overloaded version of Cells.CopyColumns method that can be used to repeat the source columns onto the destination while copy operation, exposed 2 new fields for the PasteType enumeration in order to mimic the Excel’s ‘All’ & ‘All except borders’ functionality for pasting range of cells. In this release, several important issues have been addressed. For example, issues around reading/ writing Microsoft Excel file formats, deleting rows, retrieving data validation applied on the cells, manipulating list objects/ tables, rendering to HTML file format, manipulating drawing objects and shapes, rendering images from Excel worksheets, manipulating charts with formatting, rendering images files from charts and exporting Excel workbooks to PDF format have been resolved.

Auto Layout Scaling for CAD Conversion & Optimized Dithering Mechanism using Java

What’s new in this release?

Aspose development team is pleased to announce the new release Aspose.Imaging for Java 2.9.0. Aspose.Imaging for Java API has improved the imaging core for performance considerations by converting the internal structure to utilize the byte array instead of the com.aspose.imaging.Color array. With these changes in place, the latest revision of the Aspose.Imaging for Java 2.9.0 is less resource consuming and more efficient as compared to any of its predecessors. Previously, the imaging core used the com.aspose.imaging.Color array to store the pixel information due to which each pixel had to occupy 24 bytes in the memory. This schema proved to be the performance bottleneck in scenarios where images having huge dimensions have to be processed because image required more memory to process and hence more time to flush the data. Most of the CAD drawings have more than one layouts stored in a single file, and each layout could have different dimensions. While rendering such CAD drawings to PDF, each page of the PDF could have different scaling according to the layout size. In order to make the rendering homogeneous, the Aspose.Imaging APIs have exposed the CadRasterizationOptions.AutomaticLayoutsScaling property. Its default value is false but when set to true, the API will try to search for a corresponding scale for each separate layout and draw them in corresponding manner by performing automatic re-size operation according to page size. Please check the article on Customizing CAD Conversion for more details and source code snippets for this feature. The dithering process is now more optimized and predictable. All you need to do is use the newly exposed RasterImage.Dither method instead of creating & setting DitheringSettings and RawDitheringMethod properties as we used to do with previous revisions of Aspose.Imaging for Java API. Upon calling the RasterImage.dither method the dithering is performed right in-place and you can then review the dithered results by loading pixels or raw data. In order to facilitate the users and to avoid the miss-configuration of the TiffOptions instance, the Aspose.Imaging for Java API has exposed another constructor for that TiffOptions class that accepts a parameter of type TiffExpectedFormat. Based on the selected value from the TiffExpectedFormat enumeration, the API auto configures all the mandatory properties for the TiffOptions instance in order to produce the desired results. Please check the possible values of TiffExpectedFormat parameter and their details at TiffOptions’ Configurations. This is a long awaited feature that will surely ease the developer’s life who wish to auto-rotate the Jpeg images to correct the orientation. Most digital cameras stores the orientation information along with the image data as EXIF tags of the JEPG images. Aspose.Imaging APIs use this information to perform the auto rotation on the Jpeg images to correct the orientation. Aspose.Imaging for .NET API has exposed a very easy to use mechanism to set the BitDepth for existing as well as new PNG images. With the release of version 2.9.0, the API has provided the BitDepth property for the PngOptions class that can be used to set the BitDepth as 1, 2, 4 or 8 bits for grayscale and indexed color types, whereas, for all other color types only 8 bits are supported at the moment. The main new and improved features added in this release are listed below

• Compression Schemes for PNG File Format
• Add support of multiline object during Cad -> Pdf export
• Jpeg2000 support
• Auto Correct the Orientation of a JPEG Image
• TiffImageException: Cannot decode strip 0. Details: Cannot perform 2d decoding. Missing changes from previous row, at TiffFrame.Save
