iText^® 5.3.4 — XML Worker 1.2.1

• Changes made by Paulo Soares
  • The signature date when invoking getSignDate() will now be the timestamp date (if available).
  • Appended xref streams could hide new objects, resulting in errors parsing an existing PDF. When trying to retrieve an existing object, iText returned null instead of the object.
• Changes made by Kevin Day
  • Added low-level filtering hook to LocationTextExtractionStrategy.
• Changes made by Alexander Chingarev
  • Bugfix in OCSPVerifier (a typo was causing false negatives)
  • Preparing better support for creating tagged PDF using high-level objects (work in progress; DO NOT USE UNTIL FINISHED)
• Changes made by Denis Koleda
  • Concatenation of tagged PDFs: PdfCopy now also concatenates the structured tree (using a new class named PdfStructTreeController).
  • Introduced the concept of TABSPACE in the Chunk class.
  • Preparing better support for creating tagged PDF using high-level objects (work in progress; DO NOT USE UNTIL FINISHED); added IPdfStructureElement.
• Changes made by Eugene Markovskyi
  • Avoiding NullPointerException in ColumnText.
  • Fixing NoSuchElementException in ColumnText.
• Changes made by Bruno
  • Added extra methods to PdfAStamper to allow people to sign PDF/A files.
  • Added support for 8 bit images that are compressed using TIFF predictor 2 (suggestion by Paul aka apkeeley on SourceForge). There were some errors in the patch, but Bruno fixed them.
  • Added a getRotation() method to PdfImportedPage so that you can ask the page if it's rotated or not.
  • Fixed a header problem adding a table which spans multiple pages using table.setComplete(false);. Bug reported by Mark Smith on the mailing list (2012-10-31). The problem occurred when the last row added before calling document.add(table) was the last row in a page. Fix needs more testing.
  • Digital signatures:
    • CrlClientOnline cached CRL URLs. There are situations where you don't want that.
    • LtvVerification: added logging information, and introduced a class VerificationException
    • Wrote a class named LtvVerifier along with classes to verify Certificates against a keystore, CRLs, and OCSP responses: CertificateVerifier is the superclass of RootStoreVerifier, OCSPVerifier and CRLVerifier. These classes can be used to create a list of VerificationOK objects.
    • CertificateVerification: extra method that doesn't check any CRLs.

• Changes made by Alexander Chingarev
  • Replaced an ArrayList with a LinkedList in the Tag class.
• Changes made by Eugene Markovskyi
  • Fixed a problem caused by combinations of table and div tags.
  • Added a new createSelectors() method to CssSelector.
