ImageGear for C and C++ on Windows v19.4

ImageGear for C and C++ on Windows v19.4 introduces the following improvements:

Samples

• Added support for Visual Studio 2019 in non-legacy samples. See Samples.

• Removed support for Visual Studio 2010 in non-legacy samples. See Samples.

PDF

• Updated the internal PDF Library to fix a number of rendering issues.

Product Fixes

• Fixed an issue with the PDF component where embedded OCR data would be rendered on top of the PDF image when printing the PDF. This was fixed with an update to a third-party library (Datalogics Adobe PDF Library).
• Fixed an issue with the PDF component where a malformed PDF would render incorrectly and not produce any errors. Now, malformed PDFs will not render and will instead throw an exception. The issue was fixed with an upgrade to a third-party library (Datalogics Adobe PDF Library).
• Fixed a regression introduced in V19.2 where a conversion of raster image to PDF would crash if SAVE_FLAGS control parameter for PDF filter was set to IG_PDF_LINEARIZED. This issue was fixed in IG PDF native code and affected IG PDF component (igpdf19d.dll).
• Fixed an issue with detection of grayscale images or images with few color pixels. This issue was fixed in IG Core native code and affected IG Core component (igcore19d.dll).
• Fixed an issue with loading PDF files with bad-formed Acroform fields (missing FT key) that was causing an error. Now, such fields are ignored and an ImageGear warning message is displayed.
• Fixed an issue that caused TIFF files with the "Software" tag set to  "Capture Pro ..." to be recognized as DCRAW. Loading such images with ImageGear for C/C++ resulted in black images. This issue was resolved in PicTools native code.
