26.06.2023
Doctool: Added function to convert HTML files to PDFs
This version brings the possibility to convert HTML files to PDF via command line. This is possible via the -convertToPDF switch.
Doctool: Allow overwriting files or not
PDF24 Creator 11.11.1 allowed the DocTool to overwrite existing files if the user so desires. However, there is one use case where this behavior is not desired. To cover this case, the docTool.forceMakeNameUnique [DWORD32] option can now be used to control how the DocTool should behave. If this value is set to 1, a unique file name will be generated in any case, as was the case in older versions.
Doctool: Outputs on the command line now visible
Process outputs are now printed on the console when the Doctool is used on the command line. Previously, DocTool outputs could not be traced on the command line.
Common: Consideration of locales when converting numbers
When converting numbers, the locale is now taken into account and set for certain functions to ensure a specific number format. Without a correct locale, there may be problems with some functions. Currently, this is only an issue when the console is opened because this changes the locale in the app. This change can then cause problems for some users. This issue has been improved.
Common: Missing characters in the console due to incorrect encoding
Fixed a problem with missing characters in the console when the console is open. We now call setlocale with an empty string to set the default locale for the user or system system. This fixes the problem with the output in the console.
Common: Three memory leak sources found and removed
These memory leaks are not particularly critical because the PDF24 apps are usually closed again quite quickly and thus the memory is freed up again, but we do not like memory leaks and have thus investigated and fixed them.
Reader: PDF24 Reader now takes into account the DPI of the monitor
Enabled PER_MONITOR_AWARE_V2 to fix problems with the PDF preview when used in a multi-monitor environment with different DPI values. With this improvement, the PDF preview now behaves correctly even if you move it between monitors.
Reader: Printing multiple PDFs via command line
Multiple PDF files can be printed at once via the command line. To do this, use the command line as described so far in the manual. To pass another document now, you can place this further document behind the other one. Then both documents will be printed one after the other.
Reader: Jump targets now better visible
Making the destination visible via bookmarks has been improved. The target area of the page is now taken into account to display the corresponding point of the target. Previously, only a "Go to page" was performed, but this was not good enough for certain views and zoom sizes.
Reader: Faster text selection
With some PDFs PDF24 Reader could freeze when text was selected. We have analyzed this and improved the implementation. The new version is now much faster and also selecting many words via for example STRG+A is now smooth, even with the files that caused problems.
Reader: PDFium updated to BRANCH chromium/5846
This means that PDFium's improvements will also benefit PDF24 Reader.
Assistant: Better visible background color for selected file elements
FileTools: Better visible background color for selected file elements
Creator:
When trying to save a modified PDF with PDF24 Creator and the destination file was opened with another program and blocked, the error message "Error=32 File copy error from=tempFile to=destinationFile" appears. This message could only be confirmed with an OK button - saving failed. The OK button has now been replaced with a Retry and Cancel button, so that you now also have the option to close the application that is blocking the destination file and then try to save again using the Retry button.
Toolbox: New color of the primary button
The color of the primary button is now slightly darker to improve the color contrast of background and font.
Toolbox: Green check mark to emphasize offline processing
A small green check mark next to the text "Works offline" emphasizes that PDF24 processes files offline.
Toolbox: Create electronic invoices integrated
The tool for creating electronic invoices is now also available offline in PDF24 Creator. Now you can create invoices offline according to ZUGFeRD and XInvoice standards.
Toolbox: CMaps problem in PDF editor fixed
PDF files using CMaps were not displayed correctly in the editor because of a problem with the CMaps URL. The problem has been fixed.
Toolbox: PDF compression failed when console was open
When the black console (F12) was opened, PDF compression failed. The problem is fixed.
Toolbox: Execution of Toolbox functions via command line
A command line switch has been added to start Toolbox functions via the command line. This means that it is now possible to do almost everything that the Toolbox offers via the command line. A detailed description of this function is not yet available. Until the documentation is available in the manual, feel free to contact PDF24 directly.
Toolbox: Fixed a crash caused by converting empty number fields
For some tools, the toolbox crashed if one of the integer values was left empty. In this case the conversion failed and the toolbox crashed. This issue is fixed.
PDFLib: Output of floating point numbers improved
The way of outputting floating point numbers has been improved. Zeros at the end are now removed, which makes the PDF slightly smaller.
Ghostscript: PDF/A creation and problem with umlauts and other characters fixed
PDF/A are created with the help of Ghostscript. However, there was a problem that metadata is discarded when using umlauts and other Unicode characters. We have investigated and fixed the problem and sent this patch to the Ghostscript developers.
