    Exclude Specific Fonts from Output HTML using GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET 18.10

    Document Viewer API

    We are pleased to announce the release of GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET 18.10. The latest version allows setting the list of the fonts that should be excluded from the output HTML to decrease the size of the output files. Furthermore, the inclusion of 5 improvements and 6 bug fixes have made the API more promising. Below is the list of new features, improvements, and fixes added in v18.10.

    Features Introduced

    Setting List of the Fonts to be Excluded

    Adding fonts into HTML ensures that the text from the original document will appear similar in HTML, regardless of whether fonts are installed on the viewer’s device or not. At the same time, this improvement comes with the cost of the increased size of the output file. Therefore, GroupDocs.Viewer API provides a new setting – HtmlOptions.ExcludeFontsList, that prevents adding specific fonts (that are commonly available on most of the devices). The code sample below shows how to prevent adding fonts into output HTML.

    // Setup GroupDocs.Viewer config
ViewerConfig config = new ViewerConfig();
config.StoragePath = @"C:\storage";
  
// Create html handler
ViewerHtmlHandler htmlHandler = new ViewerHtmlHandler(config);
string guid = "presentation.pptx";
  
HtmlOptions options = new HtmlOptions();
options.ExcludeFontsList.Add("Times New Roman");
options.ExcludeFontsList.Add("Arial");
List pages = htmlHandler.GetPages(guid, options);
  
  
foreach (PageHtml page in pages)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Page number: {0}", page.PageNumber);
    Console.WriteLine("Html content: {0}", page.HtmlContent);
}

    For more details on this feature, please visit this documentation article.

    Improvements

    We have included following improvements in version 18.10:

    • Prevent showing items beyond StartDate and EndDate options when rendering MS Project documents
    • Release internal resources for methods which accept URL
    • GetDocumentInfo method’s page number depending on the type of ViewerHandler
    • Prevent setting malicious values for HtmlResourcePrefix
    • Improve setting PageSize and TimeScale for MS Project documents by default

    Bug Fixes

    Following issues are fixed in version 18.10 of GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET.

    • “Specified watermark font not found” exception when calling GetPdfFile method
    • OutlookOptions.MaxItemsInFolder option not working properly for rendering into image and PDF
    • Incorrect rendering of PDF document into HTML
    • Duplicate link tag when rendering text documents with external resources
    • Exception when rendering PDF document as HTML
    • Images are missing when rendering PDF document into HTML or Image

    Set Target File Format using GroupDocs.Assembly for Java 18.9

    Document Assembly APIWe are excitedly announcing a new feature in the monthly release of GroupDocs.Assembly for Java 18.9.  Using the latest version,  you can now change the target file format of an assembled document using file extension or explicit specification. You can change the target file format when assembling Word Processing, Spreadsheet, Presentation, Email and Text file formats. We recommend you to install the latest version of the API for a better user experience.

    Features Introduced

    Since version 18.9, you can change the format of the assembled document either by specification of the file extension or using LoadSaveOptions as shown in the following code snippets.

    Changing the target file format using the file extension

    DataSourceInfo dataSourceInfo = new DataSourceInfo(...);
DocumentAssembler assembler = new DocumentAssembler();
  
assembler.assembleDocument("template.docx", "result.pdf", dataSourceInfo);

    Changing target file format using explicit specification

    InputStream sourceStream = ...;
OutputStream targetStream = ...;
  
DataSourceInfo dataSourceInfo = new DataSourceInfo(...);
DocumentAssembler assembler = new DocumentAssembler();
  
assembler.assembleDocument(sourceStream, targetStream, new LoadSaveOptions(FileFormat.PDF), dataSourceInfo);

    For more details on this feature, please visit this documentation article.

    At the moment, GroupDocs.Assembly API provides the ability to change target file format when assembling the following file formats:

    • Word Processing documents
    • Spreadsheet documents
    • Presentation documents
    • Email documents
    • Text documents

    Supported output file formats depending on input file formats can be found at this page.

    API Changes

    Newly Added Types

    Following types are added in the latest version.

    public class DataSourceInfo
public enum FileFormat
public class LoadSaveOptions

    Newly Added Members of DocumentAssembler

    Following members of DocumentAssembler are added in the latest version.

    public void assembleDocument(String sourcePath, String targetPath, DataSourceInfo... dataSourceInfos) throws Exception
public void assembleDocument(String sourcePath, String targetPath, LoadSaveOptions loadSaveOptions, DataSourceInfo... dataSourceInfos) throws Exception
public void assembleDocument(InputStream sourceStream, OutputStream targetStream, DataSourceInfo... dataSourceInfos) throws Exception
public void assembleDocument(InputStream sourceStream, OutputStream targetStream, LoadSaveOptions loadSaveOptions, DataSourceInfo... dataSourceInfos) throws Exception

    Removed Members of DocumentAssembler

    Following members of DocumentAssembler are removed in the latest version.

    public void assembleDocument(String sourcePath, String targetPath, Object dataSource)
public void assembleDocument(String sourcePath, String targetPath, Object dataSource, String dataSourceName)
public void assembleDocument(String sourcePath, String targetPath, Object[] dataSources, String[] dataSourceNames)
public void assembleDocument(InputStream sourceStream, OutputStream targetStream, Object dataSource)
public void assembleDocument(InputStream sourceStream, OutputStream targetStream, Object dataSource, String dataSourceName)
public void assembleDocument(InputStream sourceStream, OutputStream targetStream, Object[] dataSources, String[] dataSourceNames)

    Breaking Change

    Removed members of DocumentAssembler were replaced with new ones. Removed members were not marked as obsolete (deprecated) before removal as usual, because this would complicate migration to new members of DocumentAssembler in Java. Thus, we have introduced a breaking change and customers need to migrate their code from removed members of DocumentAssembler to newly added ones when upgrading to the new version of GroupDocs.Assembly.
    For more details, please visit this documentation article.

    Since version 18.9, the Metered licensing security has been improved. Metered licensing is now applicable only in Java runtime version 8u101 or above. Please use other types of licensing if you are using v18.9 or greater in Java 7.
