Changelog:


iText 5.0.2 Core

  • Changes made by Paulo Soares

    • EncryptionRevision 3 and 4 only requires the first key length bytes to be hashed 50 times (fix of a problem reported by the people of pdfforge).

    • Fixed height didn't work correctly in PdfPCell.

    • CFFFontSubset: avoiding a NullPointerException

    • XfaForm: skipping white space

    • BaseFont: Not all the xobjects have resources and that was causing a NullPointerException.

    • Java 5 code simplifications in PdfCopy and PdfContentByte

    • PdfPTable: New method to reset the number of columns.

    • Added support for QR barcode. The code is based in ZXing (Apache license).

    • HTML Markup: Support for absolute-size (CSS).

    • AcroFields: introduction of the class FieldPosition to make the code more readable.

  • Changes made by Kevin Day

    • PdfContentReaderTool: Show details on resource entries

    • PdfContentStreamProcessor: Adjustment so embedded images don't cause parsing problems and improvements to EI detection

    • LocationTextExtractionStrategy: Fixed anti-parallel algorithm, plus accounting for negative inter-character offsets. Change to text extraction strategy that builds out the text model first, then computes concatenation requirements.

    • Adjustments to linesegment implementation; optimalization of changes made by Bruno to text extraction; for example: introduction of the class MarkedContentInfo.

    • Major refactoring of interface to text extraction functionality: for instance introduction of class PdfReaderContentParser

    • New class PdfVisibilityExpression: Support for visibility expressions in OC membership dictionaries.

    • Optional content usage: support for PageElement and User

    • New class TaggedPdfReaderTool: tool that is able to convert a Tagged PDF into an XML file.

    • New class TextMarginFinder: strategy to find the boundaries of text

    • Introduced MarkedContent info in the TextRenderInfo

    • Introduced a PdfImageObject for the ImageRenderInfo

    • Replacing getStartPoint and getEndPoint with getLineSegment.

    • PdfDictionary: new method clear()

    • PdfCollection: Collections can also have a custom view.

    • PdfAnnotation: suggestion by Eric de Beus to add a method to create Polygon/Polyline annotations. As the two methods suggested by Eric were identical except for one line, I merged them into one method.

    • BaseFont: TrueTypeFont.WindowsMetrics.usWeightClass and usWidthClass and made both accessible via TrueTypeFont.getFontDescriptor() (posted to the mailing list by Thimo Seitz 14/07/2009 14:12)

    • Tabs and justified alignment don't mix. Not really a bug fix, but at least the line doesn't jump out of the text column anymore.

    • FDF files are now generated as version 1.4 (instead of 1.2)
