What's New in this Release?
The latest version of Aspose.Pdf for .NET (7.7.0) has been released. In this release, we have introduced new and useful features such as rendering text as text rather than graphic objects when printing documents. It makes the printing feature more viable and robust when it comes to the usage of the Document as well as PdfViewer classes. One of the new features regarding document conversion is rendering headers and footers as Microsoft Word headers and footers when converting PDFs to DOCs. In this release, we also support many classes including Table, Row, Cell, MarginInfo, BorderInfo etc. in the Aspose.Pdf namespace which were earlier in the Aspose.Pdf.Generator namespace. These changes let you add table objects to existing features. You can also add a table into the header and footer sections of existing PDF files. Prior to the release of Aspose.Pdf for .NET 7.7.0, we only supported adding JavaScript to document actions. With this release, you can add JavaScript against page actions. To accomplish this, we've implemented the PageActionCollection. Aspose team has also made many improvements in terms of performance, XPS to PDF, HTML to PDF, PDF to image rendering, PDF concatenation and much more. This release includes plenty of new and improved features as listed below
