2025.08 Release Notes

Release date: 26th August 2025

Next release: 7th October 2025

Announcements:

CORE-4113 The location of the predefined LogWriter properties files has been relocated to a new package. They would previously be found in the root directory of the JAR, they are now located at org.jpedal.predefinedLogger. This has no impact on using the org.jpedal.predefinedLogger setting, which still uses the same input values.

Enhancements:

HTML-3964 No longer rasterize the whole page when it contains type 3 text, rasterize just the type 3 text

CORE-4114 Implemented creating an appearance image from the DA string for FreeText annotations when there is no AP stream in the PDF

Fixes:

HTML-3965 Prevent unnecessary image transform code running which has been causing superfluous error messages

CORE-4117 Fix infinite recursion check ignoring direct dictionaries if they contain only 1 key with a ref as its value
