It is our pleasure to announce November Release of Aspose.PDF API which has been launched for .NET and Java Platforms and available for download. In this revision of the API, conversion engines have been further improved in order to convert PDF documents into other file formats. Several bugs which were reported in earlier version(s) of the API have also been rectified. Along with that, resource optimization of PDF documents has been improved in terms of performance. In case you are planning to download and use this release of the API, you may please use following links in order to download it as per your platform e.g. .NET/Java:
It is also recommended to go through the release notes pages of these releases before downloading and using it in your environment. Release notes are present in respective API documentation over below links:
Following section includes insights into worth mentioning features in this release of Aspose.PDF API.
Optimize PDF Resources
It was observed that execution time of OptimizeResources method was slow in earlier version(s) of the API which was due to slow image compression. In this release of the API, new image compression algorithms have been implemented which work faster and you can optimize PDF documents in an improved and faster way. Following sample code snippet can be used to optimize PDF resources using new implemented properties:
[C#.NET]
Document doc = new Document("source.pdf");
Aspose.Pdf.Optimization.OptimizationOptions opt =
new Aspose.Pdf.Optimization.OptimizationOptions();
opt.LinkDuplcateStreams = true;
opt.RemoveUnusedObjects = false;
opt.AllowReusePageContent = true;
opt.RemoveUnusedStreams = true;
opt.UnembedFonts = false;
opt.ImageCompressionOptions.CompressImages = true; opt.ImageCompressionOptions.ImageQuality = 50; opt.ImageCompressionOptions.ResizeImages = false; opt.ImageCompressionOptions.Version = ImageCompressionVersion.Fast; doc.OptimizeResources(opt);
**[Java]
**
Document doc = new Document("source.pdf");
com.aspose.pdf.optimization.OptimizationOptions opt =
new com.aspose.pdf.optimization.OptimizationOptions();
opt.setLinkDuplcateStreams(true);
opt.setRemoveUnusedObjects(false);
opt.setAllowReusePageContent(true);
opt.setRemoveUnusedStreams(true);
opt.setUnembedFonts(false);
opt.getImageCompressionOptions().setCompressImages(true);
opt.getImageCompressionOptions().setImageQuality(50);
opt.getImageCompressionOptions().setResizeImages(false);
opt.getImageCompressionOptions().setVersion(ImageCompressionVersion.Fast);
doc.optimizeResources(opt);
Miscellaneous Fixes
Along with the features mentioned above, following are some useful improvement which have been included in this release of the API:
