Release notes are available for the following public releases:

Document Converter Server v11.1

New features:

On top of the various performance, stability, and security improvements, the following new features have been included in the v11.1 release.

Preserving annotations when splitting PDF documents — Previously, during splitting PDF documents, all annotations and comments were automatically removed. From version 11.1, the removal of annotations is configurable. Set the following configuration value to true to preserve annotations during the split operation:

<add key="PDF.Split.PreserveAnnotations" value="true"/>

Document Converter Server v11.0

New features:

KVP extraction — A new and exciting feature is key-value pair (KVP) extraction from PDF documents. The layout of a document is analyzed, and potential KVPs are resolved and returned either as plain text, XML, or JSON. Here is the sample code.
Text extraction from text-based PDF documents is now available. Check out this sample code.
The new GdPicture OCR engine is included. It features better results and a wider variety of languages. Out of the box, Document Converter Services Services is supplied with many languages for the GdPicture OCR engine, including:
Arabic
German
English
French
Hebrew
Italian
Japanese
Dutch
Portuguese
Spanish
Vietnamese

Learn how to set the default OCR engine to GdPicture OCR by modifying the web service configuration or specifying the desired OCR engine directly from the code.

The new GdPicture conversion technology

The new GdPicture converter is capable of converting a wide variety of documents into PDFs.

Here’s a list of the supported input types for conversion to PDF:

BMP, CUR, CUT, DDS, DICOM, DOC, DOCM, DOCX, DXF, EML, EXR, FAX, G3, GIF, HDR, HEIC, HEIF, HTM, HTML, ICO, IFF, J2C, J2K, JB2, JBIG2, JIF, JNG, JP2, JPE, JPEG, JPG, KOA, LBM, MHT, MHTML, MNG, MSG, ODT, PBM, PCD, PCT, PCX, PDF, PFM, PGM, PIC, PICT, PNG, PPM, PPSX, PPT, PPTM, PPTX, PSD, RAS, RAW, RTF, SGI, SVG, TARGA, TGA, TIF, TIFF, TXT, WAP, WBM, WBMP, WEBP, WSQ, XBM, XLS, XLSM, XLSX, XPM

Here’s sample code. You can also read this article to learn how to configure GdPicture Converter to use it globally. If you need to avoid Microsoft Office as a dependency, refer to this knowledge base article.

Breaking Changes

In the latest version of Document Converter Services Services, we introduced the following changes due to the security risks with older versions of Chromium and Chrome. (This can be mitigated by using installed Chrome with regular updates.) Additionally, we removed the bundled Chromium to make the installer smaller and reduce installation time.

Chrome on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 R2 is only available up to version 109. Muhimbi would’ve had to bundle both 109 and the latest version, adding complexity and size.

Blink binaries (aka portable Chromium) are no longer included — Learn more about alternate options.

iFrame, embed, and object entities are automatically removed — If your conversions rely on these entities and you’re confident about their safety, it’s possible to configure the conversion to keep them. For more information, refer to this article.

Document Converter Server v10.3.1

New features:

The Chromium-based HTML-to-Document Converter Services now runs under lowered privileges, making conversion more secure.
Administrators can configure the Muhimbi Document Converter Service to use, for HTML-to-PDF conversion:
- The Chrome application installed systemwide on the conversion service machine.
- A portable Chrome build of their choice located on the conversion service machine.
Administrators can configure the Muhimbi Document Converter Service to automatically remove certain potentially malicious HTML tags when a URL or HTML source is converted into PDF.

Document Converter Server v10.3.0

Improved compatibility with Ghostscript 10.01.0 and later.
New conversion service configuration, which optionally disables an incremental update when watermarking PDF documents. This is because, when watermarking PDF documents with many pages, the resulting file size is far too big. Example: A 420 MB file with 5,800 pages will increase to 790 MB. From now on, users can optionally disable incremental updates and the file size won’t increase.
PDF document compression: As of version 10.3, Document Converter Services can make use of the hyper-compression option. This can reduce the size of output files by removing unwanted items (e.g. annotations, blank pages, JavaScript), downscaling images, and using improved image compression techniques. Hyper-compression, also known as mixed raster content (MRC), is a form of image compression that makes use of image segmentation methods. It’s particularly useful for images containing text and continuous-tone graphics. Read the announcement for details. Please note that you need the OCR and PDF/A Archiving add-on license, in addition to a valid Document Converter Services Services or Document Converter Services for SharePoint license, to use this functionality.
Chromium binaries have been updated to the last version supported by Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012.
Added compatibility for Office 2019.
Implemented trial watermarks for Office documents.

Known issues of this version are:

#1861 — When Fast Web View/Linearization Is Used, PDF Security Cannot Be Applied

As of version 7.0, the OCR and PDF/A Archiving add-on license allows a PDF to be optimized for use on the web (Fast Web View/linearization). This option cannot be used in combination with PDF security and encryption.

#1150 — Office DRM-Protected Documents Aren’t Supported

Documents that have been encrypted and secured via IRM/DRM/RMS/AIP or similar solutions aren’t supported. For details, refer to this Knowledge Base article.

#1149 — InfoPath 2010 Prioritizes Views Selected in the Print Multiple Views Dialog

InfoPath ships with a dialog box that allows the user to select which views (multiple) are printed when a form is sent to the printer. In InfoPath 2007, this functionality is ignored when generating PDF files. However, in InfoPath 2010, these views are given priority over own dynamic view selection functionality. If you wish to use dynamic view selection features in combination with InfoPath 2010, make sure no views are selected in InfoPath’s Print Multiple Views dialog. We hope to find a more permanent workaround for our next software release.

#678 — Empty Excel Sheets Cannot Be Converted

Excel sheets that contain no data cannot be converted to PDF format.

Document Converter Server v10.2.0

New features:

Exporting PDF forms data from XML Form Architecture (XFA) forms (previously AcroForms only).
Importing PDF form data into AcroForms and XML Form Architecture (XFA) documents.
Enabled conversion of .vsdm (macro-enabled Visio drawing) files.
Updated Chromium binaries to v94.0.
Reading document properties (built-in and custom properties for PDF and Word documents).
Ghostscript compatibility with version 9.55.
Support for “On behalf of” string in .msg email conversion.
New scale property for Chromium HTML-to-PDF conversion.
Diagnostic tool can now specify template for InfoPath conversion and PDF forms data import.
Diagnostic tool can now retrieve document information from PDF and MS Word documents.

Fixes for:

8129 — Incorrect number of pages during Word conversion with custom bookmarks, on EU servers only. 7643 — Unicode characters in some emails turn into \uN?. 8085/8086 — Improving InfoPath conversion stability.

InfoPath ships with a dialog box that allows the user to select which views (multiple) are printed when a form is sent to the printer. In InfoPath 2007 this functionality is ignored when generating PDF files, however in InfoPath 2010 these views are given priority over Muhimbi’s own dynamic view selection functionality. If you wish to use Muhimbi’s dynamic view selection features in combination with InfoPath 2010 then please make sure no views are selected in InfoPath’s Print Multiple Views dialog. We hope to find a more permanent workaround for a next software release.
