We at Syncfusion are happy to announce the 2020 Volume 2 release. This includes several value-adding features in four of our pillars, i.e., the file-format libraries.
Syncfusion’s file-format libraries provide .NET libraries to create, read, write, and convert the following formats in the .NET Framework, .NET Core, UWP, and Xamarin applications without Microsoft Office or Adobe dependencies:
Let’s look at the new features and enhancements in the file-format libraries for the 2020 Volume 2 release.
.NET 5 compatibility
From this 2020 Volume 2 release, all our file-format libraries will be compatible with .NET 5. So, you can use our .NET Core version of the file-format libraries in .NET 5 applications to create, edit, and convert documents.
PDF library
Compress PDF documents in .NET Core
Syncfusion’s PDF Library already supports compressing existing PDF files in the .NET Framework. With this Volume 2 release, you can compress the existing PDF files in .NET Core, as well.
It reduces the PDF file size by:
- Down-sampling the images.
- Removing the unused glyphs, font information, unnecessary metadata, commented lines, and white spaces.
- Compressing all the uncompressed content in the PDF.
Please refer to the following screenshot, where the PDF file size has been reduced by compressing it.
Redact annotation
The redact annotation feature allows you to mark some textual or graphical content that is ready for redaction. Using this annotation, the user can have a preview of how the document will appear after the redaction process.
Now, Syncfusion’s PDF Library allows you to mark the words or areas to be redacted with this redact annotation feature like in the following screenshot.
Cloud-style annotation (new)
The new cloud-style annotation feature allows the user to create square, circle, rectangle, and polygon-shaped annotations with cloud-like borders like in the following screenshot.
