Added Support for Metrics on a Page by Page Basis

Allows identification of whether a page was OCRd or rotated during reconstruction

Conversion to Images

Solid Framework – 10.0.9202

The latest public release of Solid Framework SDK is now available for download from the developer portal at www.solidframework.net. This is version 10.0.9202.

MAIN FEATURES

Bug fix when creating PDF/A files

  • Version 10.0.9182 was creating PDF/A files which included streams that were compressed twice using Flate. While technically this is within the PDF specification, it results in files that do not pass PDF/A validation when tested using some third party software. Compression is now only performed once.

Improved handling of list items that extend over a page break when exporting to HTML

  • If a paragraph that represents a list item was spread across multiple pages, then the text that was not on the initial page was moved to end of the list, rather than being considered an extension of the original item. This resulted in a bad reading order within the generated HTML. This has now been fixed.

Solid Framework – 10.0.9182

The latest public release of Solid Framework SDK is now available for download from the developer portal at www.solidframework.net. This is version 10.0.9182.

MAIN FEATURES

Performance Improvement when converting PDFs that contain many small rectangles

  • Time taken to convert a file that contained lines made of small rectangles decreased from 160 to 15 seconds.

Improved export to exact mode HTML

  • Diagonal table labels are now correctly located.
  • Clickable hyperlinks are created when exporting a scanned table of contents. (How cool is that? A scanned document that ends up with working hyperlinks!)

Improvements to Font handling

  • Option now exists to use font metrics from a file rather than from locally installed fonts.
  • Option now exists to embed fonts in reconstructed PowerPoint files.
