Version 11.3.0 Changelog (February 19th, 2025)

Version 11.3 is primarily a bugfix release.

• Added a new Generic Key-Value engine to the Data Extraction Module. (DataExtractionModule.e_GenericKeyValue)
• Added a function to update http request custom headers for viewing linearized PDF file from URL. (PDFViewCtrl.UpdateCustomHeaders() and PDFViewWPF.UpdateCustomHeaders())

• Added Inclusion and Exclusion zones to the Data Extraction Module. These zones allow users to specify regions of interest in a document when using specific Data Extraction Module engines. (DataExtractionOptions.AddInclusionZonesForPage() and DataExtractionOptions.AddExclusionZonesForPage())
  

• [pdf] Improved file size when inserting a CCITT image into a page by using CCITT compression in the PDF image stream if the original image is a TIFF image that is CCITT compressed and if the user has not specified any particular compression to use.
• [pdf] Improved how overlay text is aligned inside a redaction rectangle for cases where the PDF pages have rotation.
• [pdfua] Improved placement of link annotations within the structure tree when auto-tagging.
• [pdf] Improved performance of rendering of corrupt PDFs that contain vector graphics paths with enormously long segments. Previously, rendering such PDFs could take an extremely long period of time.
• [pdf] Added getter and setter functions for the radio button groups of optional content groups (OCGs) to the OCG Config class.
• [pdf] Improved the Apryse SDK's repair capabilities when opening corrupted PDF files. Previously our repair could be incomplete, causing inaccurate rendering or content extraction.

• [pdf] Fixed an issue where the 32-bit SDK created corrupt output PDF files when the 4GB size limit was exceeded. Now an exception is thrown instead, and the 64-bit SDK has no such size limit.
• [pdfa] Fixed a PDF/A validation case where an error "Embedded Type1 font descriptor's CharSet string does not list all glyphs." was reported when it was not the case.
• [pdfa] Fixed conversion to PDF/A-1a when a font is missing a ToUnicode table.
• [pdfa] Fixed the regeneration of the CID font's CIDSet during PDF/A-1a conversion when the same descendant font is shared by more than one CID parent font.

• [xfdf] Fixed a crash that could occur when converting FDF to XFDF if a page's viewport has no BBox entry.
• [pdf] Fixed a potential timeout issue in the Data Extraction Module. Previously the following exception may have occurred with very large PDFs: "Error extracting Form Fields from PDF using the AIPageObjectExtractor module Add-On. This module was not designed to run as a standalone application".
