What's new

The PDF viewer has been upgraded with multithreading to support concurrent rendering of pages, aimed at reducing delays with complex and large pages. Performance impact may be affected as follows:

• Documents with vector content will experience performance improvements.

• High page-count documents with rasterized content may experience performance improvements.

• High page-count documents with vector content, especially if the vector quantity per page is small, may not show substantial performance improvement.

• Some PDF processing use case types may experience a degradation in performance as a result of parallel orchestration and system resource constraints. These use case types include the following:

  • Using the multiprocessing feature for single page PDF documents.

  • Using the multiprocessing feature for PDF documents without any graphics.

  • Using the multiprocessing feature in one-core CPU environment.

The decoders have been enhanced to handle a wider range of file formats. The new support includes:

• .webp files: Decoding for newer web image formats.

• .msg files: Direct support for decoding email formats.

• .eml files: Enhanced email decoding capabilities.

• .html and .txt files: Expanded web and text file decoding.

• XML files: Broadened support for structured data formats.

• Visio documents: Now supports Visio diagrams and drawings.
