Public API and Backward Incompatible Changes
This page lists public API changes that were introduced in Aspose.Words 16.3.0. It includes not only new and obsoleted public methods, but also a description of any changes in the behavior behind the scenes in Aspose.Words which may affect existing code. Any behavior introduced that could be seen as a regression and modifies existing behavior is especially important and is documented here.
Renamed GetOpaqueRectangleInPixels to GetOpaqueBoundsInPixels in NodeRendererBase
WORDSNET-13230 (Tidy up NodeRendererBase class) has been resolved. We renamed GetOpaqueRectangleInPixels to GetOpaqueBoundsInPixels for names consistency and introduced GetBoundsInPixels method for consistency with other properties.
Reworked public API for PlainTextDocument creation (WORDSNET-13321)
Breaking API changes:
- All public overloads of static Document.ExtractText methods removed
- PlaintextDocument class renamed to PlainTextDocument
- Added 4 public constructors to the PlainTextDocument class with signatures corresponding to the removed static Document.ExtractText methods
Shape and OfficeMath nodes can be saved as SVG
WORDSNET-12330 - (Provide API to convert Shape and OfficeMath nodes SVG) has been resolved.
Starting from 16.3.0 version it is possible to render OfficeMath formulas to image separately from whole document:
Document doc = new Document("C:/Temp/in.docx");
OfficeMath math = (OfficeMath)doc.getChild(NodeType.OFFICE_MATH, 0, true);
math.getMathRenderer().save("C:/Temp/formula.png", new ImageSaveOptions(SaveFormat.PNG));
Also, now it is possible to pass SaveFormat.Svg into ImageSaveOptions, so OfficeMath and Shape nodes now can be save to SVG.
WORDSNET-12866 - Added feature to get-set AspectRatioLocked property of Shape.
Starting from 16.3.0 Version, Aspose.Words supports AspectRatioLocked property of Shape.
Shape shape = (Shape)doc.GetChild(NodeType.SHAPE, 0, true);
// Get/set AspectRatioLocked.
shape.setAspectRatioLocked(true);
Plase none: it is possible to get/set AspectRatioLocked for child shapes (mimic MS Word behavior), but AspectRatioLocked has effect only for top level shapes!
WORDSNET-13146 - Improvement of transparent image rendering to PDFA-1
PDF/A-1 specification prohibits transparency. In order to provide better output AW blends transparent images with white background. Previously images were blended only with PdfImageCompression.Auto. With PdfImageCompression.Jpeg transparent images were rendered by simply stripping alpha channel. Now images are blended for both PdfImageCompression.Auto and PdfImageCompression.Jpeg.
