iText^® — XML Worker 5.4.0

• Changes made by Paulo Soares
  • Make EOF consistent in class RandomAccessFileOrArray.
  • Fix PdfStamper: avoid double closing; update Javadoc.
  • Fix PdfReader: fixed confusing error message that reported the wrong value.
  • Fix CMapAwareDocumentFont: Apply the font mapping first before overriding it with the ToUnicode.
  • GlyphList: added support for char names of the format uniXXXX (with XXXX a hexadecimal value).
  • Started working on Indic support based on code contributions by Palash Ray.
    This functionality has been disabled for this release, because it needs much more work.
• Changes made by Kevin Day
  • Refactoring IO: add optional exclusive lock capability
• Changes made by Alexander Chingarev
  • Added tagged DIV element support
  • Fixed "incorrect reading order" problem on some PDF documents
  • A fix for a multithreading issue introduced in 5.3.5 that occurred when embedding ttf fonts.
  • Bugfix in PdfSmartCopy: circular references in PDFs (constructions where object A refers to object B and object B refers back to object A) could cause endless loops resulting in an OutOfMemoryException.
• Changes made by Denis Koleda
  • Adding tag attributes for PdfDiv, PdfPTable and lists
• Changes made by Pavel Alay
  • Fixed margin mirroring functionality.
  • Fixed problems when copying/concatenating Tagged PDFs.
  • Improved file size by removing unused objects after copying Tagged PDFs.
  • Improved tags structure in case the order of documents and pages are mixed.
  • Create nums tree for incorrect tagged document.
  • Fixed a bug with PdfStructureTreeRoot.buildTree() for PdfWriter
  • Throw an exception when trying to merge Tagged PDFs with an invalid structure
• Changes made by Eugene Markovskyi
  • Empty line processing in BidiLine: the remaining width of an empty line should be equal to original width of its container (be it ColumnText or PdfDocument).
  • Fix layout problems when using consecutive spaces.
• Changes made by Raf Hens
  • MappedRandomAccessFile: fixed IndexOutOfBoundsException
• Changes made by Bruno
  • PdfReader: The method eliminateSharedStreams() now has to be called explicitly if you intend to change something to one specific stream.
  • Avoiding a NullPointerException when using an ExternalBlankSignatureContainer
  • The isRevocationValid() method shouldn't assume SHA-1 as digest algorithm.
  • Fix when parsing PDFs because the same glyph name can correspond with more than one character value.
  • Fix: a Chunk shouldn't have the "power" to change the properties of an Image object. If the Image is also used in a different context, you risk unwanted side-effects (getting the image in a different size than you expected).
  • If an OCSP response doesn't define a 'next update', we use the date of the OSCP response + 3 minutes.
  • Applied suggestion by W Trevor King to add support for UTF-8 to FdfReader.
  • EncryptionAlgorithms: Added missing OID for RSA.
  • PdfContentByte: introduction of an isTagged() function that checks if the writer object isn't null before invoking writer.isTagged().
  • AcroFields: changing the font with setFieldProperty() didn't work if no resources dictionary (/DR) was available.
  • AcroFields: the boolean generateAppearances is true by default, which means we need to remove the /NeedAppearances entry. It will be reintroduced if somebody triggers setGenerateAppearances(false); Note that the presence of /NeedAppearances with value true causes recent versions of Adobe Reader to ask the end user if he wants to save the form, even if he didn't change anything.
  • AcroFields bugfix: In case a prefilled form was flattened, the prefilled text fields were disappearing because they weren't regenerated.
  • LtvVerification: Added a method that gets the issuing certificate of a certificate from a list of available certificates. This method is used when getting an OCSP response for a certificate (which requires the parent certificate).
  • BouncyCastle upgrade: we're now using BouncyCastle 1.48 instead of BouncyCaslte 1.47.

• Changes made by Eugene Markovskyi
  • Fixed issues with positioning.
  • Fix layout problems when using consecutive spaces.

• Changes made by Bruno
  • Adding missing brackets for String values in the content stream
  • Solved the problem with missing page table (in some cases)
• Changes made by Raf Hens
  • Fixed a problem in TextAreaOutputStream
• Changes made by Jens Ponnet
  • Make it possible to view image streams as real images
  • Added error handling, some pages/page dictionaries were throwing nullpointer exceptions due to having no parent node.
