Renders large bitmap very quickly, and display multipage documents in a multiple page view mode (WinForms).
- New document converter class
Quickly converts more than 100 formats to PDF and TIFF, by handling every aspect of the conversion.
- OCR
The engine has been optimized to reduce memory usage, improve stability and increase accuracy, especially with low-resolution bitmap and very large bitmap.
Searchable PDF (PDF-OCR) creation has been improved, and the files produced are smaller.
The PDF page recognition method has been improved to avoid wasting time on existing visible text.
- Long term archiving (PDF/A)
GdPicture.NET 14.0 is able to generate all PDF/A versions.
- Additional PDF features
Most important parts of the PDF core have been enhanced to improve parsing, writing, rendering, memory usage and speed.
GdPicture.NET is now up to 5 times faster reading a complex PDF and dramatically faster-writing PDF text. Produced files are smaller and the compatibility with several viewers has been improved.
There is a new font generation engine supporting subsetting of True Type fonts when writing PDF with Unicode content. The new text extraction algorithm builds text closer to the natural reading order.
Other new PDF features and enhancements include: support for transfer functions to the PDF rasterizer, new CCITT filter decoder, support for adding JPEG image to PDF without decoding / re-encoding the image, PDF packing improvement for documents with links, enhancement of page normalization support, and better processing speed (and memory usage) of big documents.
