Create/Read HTML Documents including CSS Styles & Render to PDF & Raster Image in Java Apps

What’s new in this release?

Aspose is proud to expand its Java APIs family with the addition of a new product known as Aspose.Html for Java. This API offers the capabilities to create as well as manipulate HTML documents in Java applications. Prior to the release of Aspose.Html for Java, Aspose team already have published Aspose.Html for .NET which facilitates the developers to create, read, edit HTML documents including CSS styles and render to PDF & raster image formats. Therefore in order to provide similar features to Aspose customers developing applications on Java platform, It has ported the features of current Aspose.Html for .NET to the new sibling, Aspose.Html for Java. This API enables developers to programmatically create and manipulate HTML documents, whether simple or complex and on the fly. Earlier to the release of this API, Aspose team has an API named Aspose.Words for Java which primarily offers the capabilities to create as well as manipulate existing MS Word files. Apart for MS Word files manipulation, it also provides the capabilities to Convert HTML files to PDF format. Furthermore, Aspose has also another API named Aspose.Pdf for Java, which provides the features to create as well as manipulate existing PDF files. It is also capable of performing HTML files to PDF format but both of these APIs do not support the feature to manipulate HTML file and its contents. Therefore in order to cater the requirement to Insert, Remove, Replace HTML nodes, extract CSS style information, Navigate through HTML document either by NodeIterator, TreeWalker that are provided by Traversal Specifications, XPath or CSS selector queries, Aspose has introduced this new API. Apart from earlier mentioned features, this API also offers the scripting which allows manipulating HTML DOM via JavaScript. Along with HTML, this API also provides the capabilities to load EPUB and MHTML files. As mentioned earlier, Aspsoe.Words and Aspose.Pdf provide the capabilities to render HTML files to PDF format, but in order to have a better support for this feature, Aspose team has natively provided HTML to PDF rendering support in Aspose.Html for Java, so that our customers do not have to use multiple APIs when dealing with HTML files and rendering them to PDF format. Please note that Aspose APIs are famous for their inter file format conversion features and this API also provides the capabilities to load HTML file and render the output in XPS and raster image formats including JPEG, PNG, BMP and TIFF. When generating the output in PDF format, users can also encrypt the document, specify the page setup information for resultant output and we can also specify the compression value for JPEG images inside the output document.

Though the issue was specific to user’s sample file, it could also affect other users who would be using documents generated by the same version of Microsoft OneNote. Aspose team has also fixed an issue with page history information retrieval feature of the API. This was identified while accessing page history information in certain cases. Fixing of both these issues further stabilizes the API functionality of working with document pages. This release also fixes certain exceptions that arise while loading variety of Microsoft OneNote documents. This was reported for specific files only and has been thoroughly investigated with all available file formats. In addition, the API has also been updated for some licensing issues faced by users. Specifically, setting GroupDocs license was not working, resulting in evaluation message on output files. This has now been taken care of. The list of new and enhanced features added in this release are given below
