General availability release.

New Features

  • Added new and improved renderer for PDF documents. This new renderer is used by default, but can be disabled using Snowbnd.setPdfRenderingMode(PdfRenderingMode.Legacy). Accusoft recommends using the default renderer for most use cases. If you expereince problems, try using the legacy renderer instead.
  • HTML conversion on Linux no longer relies upon the external program WkHtmlToPdf and instead uses a new conversion program. See the page input documents and images > html & eml specific considerations for more details.
