  • Fixed a problem that caused Can't find image error when using VdpRenderer.

7.0.0 - June 28, 2023

Major Feature Highlights

  • Rendering performance - improved the rendering speed and quality. Design Atoms now renders text shadows, complex vector paths, and large image sizes. In some cases, the speed of loading, parsing, and rendering of complex designs with a large number of elements has been increased by 10 times.
  • Text as text - added the possibility to render text to PDF files as a text object. To do so, set the IConfiguration.PdfTextOutputMode property to Text. By default, this property is Outlines, and text is rendered as a set of outlines.

General Improvements

  • Bounded text items with overflow strategy FitToWidth now uses copyfitting settings from the Graphics Mill engine. In other cases, copyfitting settings built into Design Atoms are still used. In the future releases, BoundedTextItem will use copyfitting settings from Graphics Mill for all strategies.
  • The following converter classes were moved from the model:
  • Added the JustificationConverter class for conversion between DesignAtoms.Model.Items.TextAlignment and the following Graphics Mill properties: Codecs.Idml.Justification, Codecs.Psd.PsdTextJustification, AdvancedDrawing.TextAlignment, TextWhizz-string, and GM-string.
  • Added the ParagraphSettingsConverter class to convert Codecs.Idml.Paragraph to DesignAtoms.Model.Items.ParagraphSettings.
  • Implemented DesignAtoms.Model.Utils.EnumParser.
  • Implemented the GraphicsContainerItemsProcessor class for color conversion when rendering a GraphicsContainer.
  • Removed the dependency of FontService on IMemoryCachingService.
  • Minor internal changes in the ColorManagement.
