The latest public release of Solid Framework SDK is now available for download from the developer portal at www.solidframework.net. This is version 9.2.8186.

Main Features

Better handling of PDF -> PDF/A Conversion

The content of some form fields and some badly encoded images were being lost when converting to PDF/A. This data is now retained.

 

Improved handling of annotations when converting to PowerPoint

Annotations in some PDF files were being reconstructed in the wrong location when converting from PDF to PowerPoint. This is now fixed.

 

Further OCR improvements

SolidOCR continues to improve, and this release contains further refinements.

 

Layout Information available for text within the source document

Solid Framework has been able to provide layout information for text within the reconstructed document for some time. We have now also provided access to the location of text in the original  document.

The two location values may differ slightly if the original document contains fonts or scaling, etc. that are not supported by the reconstructed document format.
