Release notes are available for the following public releases:

PDF Converter Services v10.2

Read the announcement to see what is new in this version. An overview of breaking changes / points of caution when upgrading from a previous version can be found in this Knowledge Base article.

Known issues of this version are:

#1861 - When FastWebView / Linearization is used PDF Security cannot be applied

As of version 7.0 the PDF Converter Professional add-on license allows a PDF to be optimised for use on the web (FastWebView / Linearization). This option cannot be used in combination with PDF Security and encryption.

#1150 - Office DRM protected documents are not supported

Documents that have been encrypted and secured via IRM / DRM / RMS / AIP or similar soluions are not supported. For details see this Knowledge Base article.

#1149 - InfoPath 2010 Prioritises views selected in the Print Multiple Views dialog

InfoPath ships with a dialog box that allows the user to select which views (multiple) are printed when a form is sent to the printer. In InfoPath 2007 this functionality is ignored when generating PDF files, however in InfoPath 2010 these views are given priority over Muhimbi's own dynamic view selection functionality. If you wish to use Muhimbi's dynamic view selection features in combination with InfoPath 2010 then please make sure no views are selected in InfoPath's Print Multiple Views dialog. We hope to find a more permanent workaround for a next software release.

#2020 - JPEG2000 encoded PDFs cannot be OCRed

#1495 - Externaly referenced images don't always finish loading before conversion in InfoPath

When an InfoPath form contains a number of externally referenced large images then the PDF Conversion may be carried out before these images finish loading. As a workaround use smaller images or embed the images inside the InfoPath form.

#880 - Transparency settings in watermarks depend on PDF Reader.

#1149 - InfoPath 2010 Prioritises views selected in the Print Multiple Views dialog

InfoPath ships with a dialog box that allows the user to select which views (multiple) are printed when a form is sent to the printer. In InfoPath 2007 this functionality is ignored when generating PDF files, however in InfoPath 2010 these views are given priority over Muhimbi's own dynamic view selection functionality. If you wish to use Muhimbi's dynamic view selection features in combination with InfoPath 2010 then please make sure no views are selected in InfoPath's Print Multiple Views dialog. We hope to find a more permanent workaround for a next software release.
