Python / Changelog / v9.4.2

Version 9.4.2 Changelog (December 19th, 2022)

Changed Behaviour:

  • Certain FDFDoc methods (FDFDoc.Save(), FDFDoc.GetTrailer(), FDFDoc.GetRoot(), FDFDoc.GetSDFDoc() can now cause the FDF file to be counted as a document for consumption-based licensing. This will apply at most once per FDF document and will not if the document was created through PDFDoc.FDFExtract().
