Docotic.Pdf 4. Much improved rendering engine and more

October 11, 2013

I am very happy to announce that we've released Docotic.Pdf 4 on our site.

Seven months of active development were not in vain: the new major release brings some great improvements.

Docotic.Pdf 4 comes with a new, much improved text rendering engine. With the new engine, text gets drawn at the right positions with the right font. The new version of the library produces much more accurate outputs than the previous version did. Let me assure you: you will see the difference.

Text rendering and text extraction are often go hand in hand. With Docotic.Pdf, that's not different. New version of the library extracts text more precisely and can provide you more information about text in a PDF document. You can know the font, the pen and brush color and the rendering mode used to draw any chunk of text. There are new properties in the PdfTextData class for that.

The new version adds support for JPEG 2000 images. The library can add, extract and draw them. Other imaging related areas also received some of our attention. Some bugs related to the processing of JPEGs were fixed. Extraction of images (including masked ones and those in the CMYK color space) was improved.

As with every release of the library, we also fixed processing of some PDFs which not quite meet the standard and documents with unusual internal structure.

Speed improvements, new features and fixes in Docotic.Pdf 3.7

March 1, 2013

I am happy to announce that Docotic.Pdf 3.7 is finally released.

As in the previous release of the library, we optimized the code of Docotic.Pdf and now the library opens documents even faster than before. The new release also adds some new features, part of which were suggested by our customers. And there are some bug fixes in the new version, too.

We added the ability to embed and extract file attachments and file annotations. Please have a look at the new group of samples called Attachments.

The library improved to better preserve existing structures in PDF files. It means that Docotic.Pdf will try to keep an internal structure of a file as is unless it was changed by the user.
