Aspose team is pleased to announce the release of Aspose.Words for Cloud 17.12.0. This release includes improvements in terms of feature enhancements and bug fixes. Specifically, Aspose team is providing improved support for images in PDF to Word conversion and has released fully reworked version of Aspose.Words for Cloud PHP SDK. This release improves support for images in PDF to Word conversion. It now supports Semi-transparent images, Rotated images and Inline images (images that go “inside” the text, being a logical part of text paragraph). Some Restrictions are still apply, such as Vector images (rendered via PDF paint operators) are not converted. The fully reworked version of Aspose.Words for Cloud PHP SDK has been released. PHP Cloud SDK is a wrapper around REST API, allowing to process documents in PHP 5.6 or higher quickly and easily, gaining all benefits of strong types and IDE highlights. The distribution is available at Packagist and source code at GitHub. New SDK is fully supported and has the some advantages over the previous versions, such as SDK is fully in sync with the API, all missing methods are added, Classes, methods, and properties have comments and are IDE-friendly, Better security and Usage of Request/Response classes to represent long lists of parameters. This allows for cleaner code and easier backward-compatibility going forward. SDK is not backward compatible with the previous generation because of the last item. It should be straightforward to convert program code to using Request/Response objects.
