Version 11.1 is primarily a bugfix release.

Improvements:

  • [ocr] Upgraded the IRIS OCR Module to IRIS OCR SDK 16.2.2+130.
  • [pdf] Improved vertical positioning of text overlays for redaction rectangles. The gap between the rectangle edges and the text is now thinner and vertical center alignment is more precise.

Bugfixes:

  • [pdf] Fixed an issue with with ConvertPrinter.install() where it could sometimes fail on Windows 10 or later with error "Failed to install printer." Previously, this could happen with some applications that are running with compatibility mode for older Windows versions.
  • [pdf] Fixed an issue with rendering images with an ICC color profile and a soft mask black matte. Previously these images could be rasterized darker than expected.
  • [pdf] Fixed an issue with redaction of text objects containing text rise. Previously, the redaction rectangles could be vertically shifted.
