The regular monthly update Aspose.PDF for .NET 18.3 has been published and available for download. Like every new release, Aspose.PDF for .NET 18.3 includes fixes for issues reported in earlier release version(s) and in this release, we have also added some attractive and exciting features, in order to cater to the various scenarios. Since we always have been striving to provide a robust, stable and feature-rich release version, Aspose.PDF for .NET 18.3 includes new functionalities and enhancements. An overview of improvements and changes in this version of the API is given in the release notes section of API documentation.

Convert PDF to HTML with Improved Image Quality

In order to produce a better quality of images, when generating HTML from PDF document, you can use HtmlSaveOptions.ImageResolution property to the resolution of output images. This way the output HTML will contain better image quality.

Following code snippet shows usage of ImageResolution property while converting PDF to HTML:

Document document = new Document(myDir + "input.pdf");
string workingDir = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
string outputFilePath = Path.Combine(myDir, "output.html");
HtmlSaveOptions options = new HtmlSaveOptions();
options.ImageResolution = 300; 
options.PartsEmbeddingMode = 
HtmlSaveOptions.PartsEmbeddingModes.EmbedAllIntoHtml;
options.RasterImagesSavingMode = 
HtmlSaveOptions.RasterImagesSavingModes.AsEmbeddedPartsOfPngPageBackground;
options.LettersPositioningMethod = 
HtmlSaveOptions.LettersPositioningMethods.UseEmUnitsAndCompensationOfRoundingErrorsInCss;
document.Save(outputFilePath, options);

Add Repeating Column in Table in PDF

In earlier version(s) of the API, you have been using adding repeating rows feature by setting RepeatingRowsCount property of Aspose.Pdf.Table Class. We have implemented adding repeating column functionality in Aspose.PDF for .NET 18.3. RepeatingColumnsCount property has been added to Aspose.Pdf.Table Class, in order to repeat the columns in tables, which are too wide to fit on a single page. You can check the following code snippet for an example of using RepeatingColumnsCount property:

string outFile = GetOutputPath("40515.pdf");
// Added document
// Added document
Document doc = new Document();
Aspose.Pdf.Page page = doc.Pages.Add();

//Instantiate an outer table that takes up the entire page
Aspose.Pdf.Table outerTable = new Aspose.Pdf.Table();
outerTable.ColumnWidths = "100%";
outerTable.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;

//Instantiate a table object that will be nested inside 
//outerTable that will break
//inside the same page
Aspose.Pdf.Table mytable = new Aspose.Pdf.Table();
mytable.Broken = TableBroken.VerticalInSamePage;
mytable.ColumnAdjustment = ColumnAdjustment.AutoFitToContent;

//Add the outerTable to the page paragraphs
//Add mytable to outerTable
page.Paragraphs.Add(outerTable);
var bodyRow = outerTable.Rows.Add();
var bodyCell = bodyRow.Cells.Add();
bodyCell.Paragraphs.Add(mytable);
mytable.RepeatingColumnsCount = 5;
//comment out this or the top section to test if the table renders
//page.Paragraphs.Add(mytable);

//Add header Row
Aspose.Pdf.Row row = mytable.Rows.Add();
row.Cells.Add("header 1");
row.Cells.Add("header 2");
row.Cells.Add("header 3");
row.Cells.Add("header 4");
row.Cells.Add("header 5");
row.Cells.Add("header 6");
row.Cells.Add("header 7");
row.Cells.Add("header 11");
row.Cells.Add("header 12");
row.Cells.Add("header 13");
row.Cells.Add("header 14");
row.Cells.Add("header 15");
row.Cells.Add("header 16");
row.Cells.Add("header 17");

for (int RowCounter = 0; RowCounter <= 5; RowCounter++)
{
 //Create rows in the table and then cells in the rows
 Aspose.Pdf.Row row1 = mytable.Rows.Add();
 row1.Cells.Add("col " + RowCounter.ToString() + ", 1");
 row1.Cells.Add("col " + RowCounter.ToString() + ", 2");
 row1.Cells.Add("col " + RowCounter.ToString() + ", 3");
 row1.Cells.Add("col " + RowCounter.ToString() + ", 4");
 row1.Cells.Add("col " + RowCounter.ToString() + ", 5");
 row1.Cells.Add("col " + RowCounter.ToString() + ", 6");
 row1.Cells.Add("col " + RowCounter.ToString() + ", 7");
 row1.Cells.Add("col " + RowCounter.ToString() + ", 11");
 row1.Cells.Add("col " + RowCounter.ToString() + ", 12");
 row1.Cells.Add("col " + RowCounter.ToString() + ", 13");
 row1.Cells.Add("col " + RowCounter.ToString() + ", 14");
 row1.Cells.Add("col " + RowCounter.ToString() + ", 15");
 row1.Cells.Add("col " + RowCounter.ToString() + ", 16");
 row1.Cells.Add("col " + RowCounter.ToString() + ", 17");
}
doc.Save(outFile);
