We've greatly optimized the HTML rendering process for large documents. ABCpdf 6 took 6 seconds to process our 389 page test case as opposed to 48 seconds under ABCpdf 5. That's an eight-fold increase in speed! Properties like DoMarkup allow you to increase this speed still further.

There are new HTML features too. We now support parameter driven Flash movies so that you can add HTML which passes variables to your movie. If you've been trying to get your Flash charts into PDF this is what you need.

ABCpdf is now PostScript-compatible. This means you can import raster or vector PostScript (PS) or Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files directly into your PDF documents. It means you can take your PDF documents and render them into PS or EPS format.

As well as being PostScript-compatible it's also EMF-compatible which means you can render directly to vector EMF. This means faster higher quality print output and greater support for interoperability with other applications..

ABCpdf now supports conversion of PDF content into annotated SVG. This allows you to identify individual elements on a page and map them back to the operators in the original PDF file. So it lets you perform operations like search and replace on PDF text or identify individual images on a page.

There's now greater control over the output of rendered images. ABCpdf now supports the export of alpha values in rendered PDF content. It also allows control over TIFF compression types like LZW and Flate, different vertical and horizontal resolutions and multipaged TIFF output.

ABCpdf now supports JPEG 2000. This means you can render pages containing JPEG 2000 compressed images. It also means that you can render and save PDF pages into RGB, Grayscale or CMYK JPEG 2000 files at either 8 or 16 bits per component resolution.

We've optimized the ABCpdf table class for faster more scaleable table rendering.

We've greatly enhanced the PDF rendering process to support complex scripts and unusual character encodings.

We've greatly enhanced the PDF field support to produce faster more accurate output and support complex scripts and unusual glyphs.

There are new HTML Styled Text options to allow you greater control over the addition of text.
