PDF Incremental Updates Feature & PDF Text Extraction Error Reporting Implementation

What’s new in this release?

Aspose team is pleased to announce the release of Aspose.Pdf for Java 17.12.0 . While investigating a scenario where a PDF document used PDF Type 3 fonts, it was observed that the TextAbsorber class was not retrieving the text correctly. Reason was that the fonts used in the PDF, contained different encoding and it is not possible to extract text from such documents, by using Adobe Reader itself. Aspose team has realized the necessity to implement functionality in the API that such error in the document can be reported. Aspose team is pleased to inform users that text extraction error reporting has been implemented for TextAbsorber and TextFragmentAbsorber classes, which is available with Aspose.Pdf for Java 17.12. It was observed that when users load a PDF document from binary, manipulate it (i.e add some annotations) and save it to a different binary – the content of the PDF document was used to be totally changed. In order to avoid such issues, it have implemented an additional method i.e saveIncrementally() into the Document class. Now users will be able to save document into a Stream object, using Incremental Updates. As it always recommended to use latest release of API’s as they include latest features / improvements and fixes related to issues reported in earlier released versions. Some important improved features included in this release are given below
