Aspose development team is happy to announce the monthly release of Aspose.Words for Java & .NET 16.3.0. This month’s release contains over 87 useful new features, enhancements and bug fixes to the Aspose.Words products. Here is a look at just a few of the biggest features and API changes in this month’s release, support of Saving Shape and OfficeMath Nodes to SVG, added Feature to Get-Set Shape’s Aspect Ratio, support for RC4 encryption, reworked Public API for PlainTextDocument Creation, renamed GetOpaqueRectangleInPixels to GetOpaqueBoundsInPixels in NodeRendererBase and improvement of Transparent Image Rendering to PDFA-1. We have introduced new feature in this release to save OfficeMath formulas to image separately from whole document. Now it is possible to pass SaveFormat.Svg into ImageSaveOptions, so OfficeMath and Shape nodes can be save to SVG. We have introduced Shape.AspectRatioLocked property in this release. Plase none that it is possible to get/set AspectRatioLocked for child shapes (mimic MS Word behavior), but AspectRatioLocked has effect only for top level shapes. We renamed GetOpaqueRectangleInPixels to GetOpaqueBoundsInPixels for names consistency and introduced GetBoundsInPixels method for consistency with other properties. PDF/A-1 specification prohibits transparency. In order to provide better output Aspose.Words blends transparent images with white background. Previously images were blended only with PdfImageCompression.Auto. With PdfImageCompression.Jpeg transparent images were rendered by simply stripping alpha channel.
