2023.09 Release Notes

Release date: 19th September 2023

Next release: 31st October 2023

Announcements:

Java 21: FormVu has been tested against Java 21 (final release candidate) and no issues were found

Enhancements

HTML-3803 Added two new settings for conversions that allow you to highlight form fields with custom colors. formFieldBackgroundHighlight and formFieldBorderHighlight can be provided to hex codes of your choice. Currently, these settings focus on textboxes and select boxes.

HTML-3805 Added support for Radio buttons to handle NoToggleToOff and RadiosInUnison flags

HTML-3810 Implemented a Submit as PDF function to FormVuAPI, allowing the ability to submit a PDF file directly to any provided URL endpoint

HTML-3402 Miscellaneous internal refactoring to improve internal code extensibility and make way for future developments

Fixes:

HTML-3816 Refactored text class names. The index now starts from 0 rather than 1

HTML-3817 Updated path optimization rules to ensure clip shapes are not altered from the original PDF

HTML-3818 Aligned when page suffixes (e.g. _1) are added to class names. Page suffixes are now used for all pages except when the PDF file contains a single page page or when logicalPageRange is set to a single page.

CORE-3954 Fixed an issue where a Boolean was misdefined as a (string), which led to incomplete document metadata

CORE-3961 Removed redundant getParameterConstant(int id) method from the PdfObject class. The method getNameAsConstant(int id) should be used instead.
