DjVu Conversion to PDF & Multi Frame Raster Format, DjVu Pages to Separate Images using Java

What’s new in this release?

Aspose development team is pleased to announce the new release Aspose.Imaging for Java 3.0.0. This month’s release contains many useful improvements including the long awaited support for DjVu file format. Please refer to the release notes of Aspose.Imaging for Java 3.0.0 for a full list of bug fixes and improvements along with sample code snippets for newly added features. DjVu file format is becoming popular as an alternative to PDF because it has smaller file size as compared to PDF. DjVu format can also be considered as a superior alternative to PDF for digital documents, to TIFF for scanned bitonal documents, to JPEG and JPEG2000 for photographs and pictures, and to GIF for large palatalized images. With the release of Aspose.Imaging for Java 3.0.0, the API has provided the support for loading DjVu files for possible conversion to raster image formats as well as PDF. In order to provide this support, the API has exposed DjvuImage class along with many new helping classes, methods & properties listed in the Public API Changes in Aspose.Imaging for Java 3.0.0. Like PDF & TIFF, the DjVu files can have multiple pages/frames therefore while converting the DjVu files to raster formats such as TIFF & GIF, all pages of DjVu are rendered to the resultant image by default. Aspose.Imaging for Java 3.0.0 can also be used to convert the DjVu files to PDF format while using the existing PdfOptions class. It is up to the user requirement if all DjVu pages or a subset of the pages are to be exported in PDF format. Aspose.Imaging for Java 3.0.0 has exposed a new class IntRange that can be used to specify a range that in turn can be passed to an instance of DjvuMultiPageOptions for the conversion of specific range of DjVu pages to TIFF or GIF. It is also possible to store each DjVu page to separate raster image. In order to achieve this goal, the latest version of Aspose.Imaging for Java 3.0.0 has exposed an overload constructor of DjvuMultiPageOptions that could accept an integer value to export the specific page. This mechanism can be extended to render individual DjVu pages to raster formats. Another overload constructor of DjvuMultiPageOptions class can accept an integer value as well as an instance of Rectangle to export a specific portion of DjVu page to raster image format. As always we appreciate your feedback so if you ever have anything to tell us about this release or anything else, please head to the Aspose.Imaging forum for a chat. The main new and improved features added in this release are listed below

• Implement the ability to add new draw operations into existing metafile with saving the result
• Support for DjVu file format
• ISupport of changing contrast/brightness setting and image quality of JPEG image
• java.lang.NullPointerException: while loading a DXF file
• FrameworkException: Incorrect access to field index, while drawing over EMF
• java.awt.HeadlessException while converting WMF to PNG
• Converting DxF file to png or tiff, resulting in an empty output file.
• Binary Dxf file format support
• [Java] Resize image destroys EXIF data
• Value offset not word-aligned: 4261403 while validating Aspose.Imaging's generated TIFF with JHOVE
• Improve working with GetNearestColorIndex method
• BinarizeJPEG test from BlackBox fails. Ethalon and output images have different JpegExifData.
• Performance lag while watermarking frames of a large TIFF image
• Textual contents do not render while converting the DXF to TIFF
• Improve performance of core processing
• Improve performance of PNG codec
• ImageLoadException: Cannot open an image. The image file format may be not supported at the moment, while loading a certain DXF
• ImageLoadException: Cannot open an image. The image file format may be not supported at the moment." while loading a certain DXF
• Resize image destroys EXIF data
• Specify Jpeg quality while converting BMP to Jpeg

Add HTML Contents to Existing PDF File & Mark Text Formatting as Strikeout using .NET

What's New in this Release?

We are pleased to announce the release of Aspose.Pdf for .NET 10.7.0. The TextState class provides the capabilities to set formatting for TextFragments being placed inside PDF document. You can use this class to set text formatting as Bold, Italic, and Underline in this release, the API has provided the capabilities to mark text formatting as Strikeout. Please try using following code snippet to add TextFragment with Strikeout formatting. Aspose.Pdf for .NET provides the capabilities to Convert HTML to PDF Format, as well as the feature to Add Text in an Existing PDF File. However with this release, we have also introduced the feature to add HTML contents inside PDF document where HTML tags will be rendered accordingly, instead they appear as static HTML tags. Aspose.Pdf for .NET provides the feature to convert PDF file to PDF/A fomat, convert PDF/A file to PDF format and the feature to Validate if PDF document is PDF/A compliant. It also offers the capabilities to determine if loaded document is a valid PDF and also if its encrypted or not. In order to further extend the capabilities of Document class, IsPdfaCompliant property is added to determine if input file is PDF/A compliant and a property named PdfaFormat to identify the PDF/A format are introduced. In earlier release versions, the Footnote support has been provided but it was only applicable to TextFragment object. However now you can also add Footnote to other objects inside PDF document such as Table, Cells etc.  A Tab Stop is a stop point for tabbing. In word processing, each line contains a number of tab stops placed at regular intervals (for example, every half inch). They can be changed, however, as most word processors allow you to set tab stops wherever you want. When you press the Tab key, the cursor or insertion point jumps to the next tab stop, which itself is invisible. Although tab stops do not exist in the text file, the word processor keeps track of them so that it can react correctly to the Tab key. As well as the enhancements and features discussed above, there have been specific improvement for PDF to HTML and HTML to PDF conversion features with better support for HTML5. 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, FloatingBox rendering, Footnote, EndNote and rendering of non-English (specifically Arabic) contents are also improved.  The list of important new and improved features are given below

Render Worksheet to Graphics 2D Context & Change Shape’s Adjustment Values using Java

What’s new in this release?

We are pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Cells for Java 8.5.2. This month’s release contains many useful features and improvements along with some critical bug fixes. Aspose.Cells for Java APIs have exposed an overloaded version of SheetRender.toImage method that can accept an instance of java.awt.Graphics2D along with usual parameters to render the Worksheet in Graphics2D context. This feature is helpful in scenario where you wish to get high (scalable) print quality by redirecting the Graphics2D context to PostScript printer and create a PDF from the PostScript. Aspose.Cells for Java now provides the PivotTable.getCellByDisplayName method to obtain the Cell reference by PivotField display name. This method is useful in scenarios where application requirement is to format the PivotField header in the PivotTable. Aspose.Cells for Java 8.5 2 has exposed the Geometry.getShapeAdjustValues method that can be used to make changes to the adjustment points within the shapes. Please note, Microsoft Excel application displays the adjustments points as yellow diamond nodes while allowing to change the arc for rounded rectangle, point location for triangle, top width of a trapezoid and shape of head & tail for arrows. Aspose.Cells APIs provide the means to apply Consolidation Function to DataFields (or value fields) of the PivotTable. In Microsoft Excel, you can right click the value field and then select Value Field Settings… option and then select the tab Summarize Values By. From there, you can select any Consolidation Function of your choice like Sum, Count, Average, Max, Min, Product, Distinct Count etc. The most notable  enhancements in this release includes, Exposed SaveOptions.MergeAreas property to handle scenarios if a spreadsheet has too many individual cells with validation applied, there are chances that the resultant spreadsheet may get corrupted. One possible solution is to merge the cells with identical validation rules or you can now use the SaveOptions.MergeAreas property to direct the API to auto merge the CellAreas before save operation,  Improved the HTML & PDF rendering for alignment and layout, improved overall memory consumption and many more.  This release includes several enhanced features and bug fixes as listed below
