• GcPdf
• GcExcel .NET
• GcWord
• GcImaging
• GcExcel Java

GcPdf

Fixed

• Gradient brushes using semi-transparent colors were not processed correctly by GcPdfGraphics. (DOC-1312)
• RadialGradientBrush.AllowEllipticGradients property was not supported by GcPdfGraphics. (DOC-1307)
• PDF files with pages that specified CropBox property could be rendered incorrectly when saved as images. (DOC-1318)
• PDF files using standard PDF fonts without Encoding entry could be rendered incorrectly when saved as images. (DOC-1319)
• PDF files using embedded Type1 font without Encoding entry could be rendered incorrectly when saved as images. (DOC-1319)
• Document with an owner password was generated incorrectly when using StandardSecurityHandlerRev3. (DOC-1327)

Changed

• Some PDF generators render the same text multiple times at nearly the same position to emulate bold text, now GcPdf handles such cases more effectively when building the text map.
• Now property SignatureField.Value is writable, this allows to remove an existing signature.

Added

• Added SignatureProperties.TimeStamp property. It allows to add a timestamp to the digital signature of a PDF document.
• Added StructElement.Attr.Properties property. It allows to edit the content of struct element attribute.
• Added static method FormXObject.CreateList(). This method allows to create a list of FormXObject objects from a list of pages. It is an atomic operation so all resources are shared between the created objects without being duplicated. (DOC-1309)
• Added support for JBIG2 decoder. (DOC-1324)

GcDocs PDF Viewer

Fixed

• Thumbnails show incorrectly for non-standard page sizes. (DOC-1346)
• Incorrect page orientation in print preview in some cases. (DOC-1347)

Fixed

• The zoom out button disappears in Internet explorer. (DOC-1333)
• License icon does not show fully in Edge browser. (DOC-1302)
• Radio button and checkbox cannot be selected in Edge browser. (DOC-1336)
• FreeText callout lines are not shown when the annotation's appearance is specified by an appearance stream. (DOC-1317)

Changed

• If a FreeText annotation has an appearance stream, but it includes text that requires an external CMap that cannot be located, the text specified in the annotation is shown instead of the appearance stream. (DOC-1317)

Added

• Added the ability to hide FreeText annotations using the 'Hide Annotations' button.
• Added support for CID-keyed fonts with external CMap tables. (DOC-1328)
• Added new Document Properties dialog in GcPdfViewer - The dialog shows document info such as author, subject, keywords etc of a PDF Document, and also the list of fonts used in the document (similar to Acrobat's fonts list).
