Change log between V3 and V4?

Post by uko »

Hi,

perhabs I'm too blind but I could not find a document what has changed between Version 3 and Version 4 of SDK. Does such a document exists?
I'm especially interested in changes for the plain viewer dll (not activeX version) and text extraction area.

Thanks,
Ulrich

Hi,

The most significant changes to version 4 SDK's are to security - AES encryption has been added to all parts and the PDF-XChange Drivers (significant changes - but feature wise and functionally)

You can view the driver changes here :

With regards the Viewer (up to Build 2.036) - the majority of changes continue to be in the ActiveX - little has changed in the Simple DLL (nor will there be significant changes as there is little that can or needs to be added - after all the essential function of that is to provide a rasterised Bitmap of the PDF file/page) and to ensure that any problems with opening specific PDF files continues to be maintained if any issues arise of course.

You can view changes to the Viewer here :

https://www.pdf-xchange.com/home/pr ... r/history/

If there is something specific you are particularly looking for - please do feel free to ask - but please do be advised that the bulk of feature functionality will continue to be provided in the Viewer AX - rather than the Simple DLL - that's the way its designed to be and I cannot foresee that altering dramatically.

Thanks
If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.
