Did you ever think of converting and rotating a document at the same time? We make your wish come true with this month’s release of GroupDocs.Conversion for Java 19.4.
You can now set page rotation angle when converting to a PDF or Image format. And it only takes a single line of code.

We implemented following new properties:

We enriched ImageSaveOptions class with a new property that takes rotation angle value as parameter.

Measure Conversion Time

Can we measure or track time for a document conversion? You might be thinking of such a feature. Because its appealing. Therefore, we’ve introduced this in current release. Let’s have a look at its implementation.

Include Hidden Slides in Converted Document

Bug Fixes

We listen your feedback carefully and make sure to fix the disruptions that you face. Spreadsheets are one of the best way to represent data. Most of the time you add graphs in it. Previously, API was not converting spreadsheets with graphs properly. It was not showing complete data. However, this issue is now fixed.

Width and Height not Working

Furthermore, there was no impact of width and height in the output that you set in ImageSaveOptions. This issue is also now resolved.

Will we get PasswordProtectedException?

Yes, we fixed obfuscation config for com.groupdocs.conversion.exceptions package. You will now get proper exception on processing a password protected document without applying password. Eventually, this exception could be then handled.
