AspPDF 3.7.0.6 and AspPDF.NET 3.7.0.35014 Service Releases

The new service releases of our PDF components incorporate the following enhancements and fixes:

A rare class of PDF documents has been discovered for which text extraction produced truncated output. This deficiency has now been fixed.

The ability to obtain the URL or page number from the link annotations in existing documents has been added. The property PdfAnnot.Contents has been retrofitted to return the URI or page number this link annotation is pointing to, as follows: " # =https://www.persits.com" or " # =3".

A bug in the PdfAnnot.SetFieldValue/SetFieldValueEx methods have been fixed responsible for creating unexpected artifacts (such as a thin border line) around the text in a form field, that are not visible in the original blank form. The fix affects a fairly rare class of PDF forms.

AspJpeg 2.9.0.5 and AspHEIF 1.0.0.41 Service Releases

AspJpeg and AspHEIF, working in tandem, are now capable of preserving EXIF metadata information during HEIF-to-JPEG conversion. AspHEIF's new property, Exif, returns the HEIF image's entire EXIF block as a Hex-encoded string, which can then be passed to AspJpeg's AddMetadataItem method for inclusion in the output JPEG image. For more information, see Code Example 4 of the AspHEIF User Manual (www.aspjpeg.com/aspheif.html).

AspJpeg's TIFF parsing module now accepts TIFF files with the required "PHOTOMETRIC" tag omitted. Pevious versions would reject those TIFF images with an error exception.

AspJpeg 2.9.0.4 and AspJpeg.NET 2.9.0.12555 now support relatively rare 16-bit BMP images. Previous versions of AspJpeg would crash when trying to open a 16-bit BMP (AspJpeg.NET would gracefully reject it.)

Also, the components are now capable of replacing a green background with an alpha channel using a new, more advanced algorithm.

We are happy to announce the addition of a brand-new component to our product line. The new product, called AspHEIF, converts images in the High-Efficiency Image Format (HEIF) designed by Apple to PNG for viewing and further processing. Static HEIF images usually have the file extensions .heif and .heic.

The product also supports a new format based on the AV1 compression introduced by the Alliance for Open Media. This image format is known as AVIF. AspHEIF is currently in beta. For documentation, and to download a free evaluation version, please go to http://www.aspjpeg.com/aspheif.html.

AspEmail's and AspEmail.NET's TLS engine, specifically its ECDHE module, has received a small but important enhancement: support for SHA256-based RSA signatures. The previous versions only supported SHA1-based signatures.
Some SMTP servers require that the client application support SHA256-based signatures, and reject the secure handshake otherwise. This would result in the exception

Transport Layer Security Error #25 (WinSock): No information received from the server.

The new service releases fix this deficiency.

Also, the new version of EmailAgent.NET can now connect to a POP3 server via TLS 1.2 if the Port number is set to 99521 in the configuration panel application. Older versions of EmailAgent.NET only supported TLS 1.0 for POP3 connections.

A serious bug in the Revision 5 and Revision 6 module (256-bit encryption) has been fixed. The bug is responsible for throwing the System.ArgumentNullException error when calling OpenDocument on an encrypted PDF document without specifying a password. The bug was introduced in Version 3.5.0.33933. It only affects AspPDF.NET and not AspPDF.

AspPDF & AspPDF.NET 3.6 Released with Image Replacement, Rich Media Support

The new versions of AspPDF and AspPDF.NET offer several major features and a number of fixes and improvements:

1. Image replacement. One or more images in an existing PDF document can now be replaced with other images or graphics. This feature is useful, among other things, for reducing the overall size of a PDF document by replacing its high-resolution images with their lower-resolution versions.

2. Rich media annotations. A new annotation type, Rich Media, has been added which allows 3D, Flash, video and audio files to be embedded in a PDF document.

3. A bug in Page.ExtractText. A class of documents has been discovered for which text extraction would return an empty string. This bug has now been fixed.

4. A bug in Structured Text Extraction. A class of documents has been discovered for which text is extracted only partially or not at all. This bug has now been fixed.

5. A number of minor bugs in the parsing module have been fixed.

Upgrading is free for registered users, as always. To download the upgrades, please visit www.asppdf.com and www.asppdf.net.
