What's New in Oxygen PDF Chemistry 24
October 18, 2021
Related version: 24.1
Oxygen PDF Chemistry version 24.0 provides lots of improvements and new customization possibilities for the CSS Paged Media processor used for obtaining PDF output from HTML or XML documents through CSS styling. Some examples of the features and updates that were added in this version include the possibility of controlling the security policies for the Chemistry processing, protecting your PDF files using security permissions, and some new properties that can be used to control various components in the PDF output (such as the initial settings for how the document is presented, copyright information, or custom metadata). This release also includes various bug fixes and important component updates.
Control the Security Context of the Chemistry Processing
It is now possible to control the security context of the Chemistry processing
through a Java security policy file. This file can be specified using a new
-security-policy command-line parameter. For more details, see Security
Policy Configuration.
Control Copyright Metadata
Three new CSS properties (
-oxy-pdf-meta-copyright, -oxy-pdf-meta-copyrighted,
-oxy-pdf-meta-copyright-url) were added to provide the ability
to control the copyright information in the PDF output.Custom Metadata Fields
You can use the
-oxy-pdf-meta-custom property to define custom metadata
fields and it now supports multiple values (for example: -oxy-pdf-meta-custom:
"First" "First-Value", "Second" "Second-Value").Control How the PDF Reader Presents the Document
A new set of CSS properties can be used to control how the PDF Reader (e.g.
Acrobat Reader) presents the PDF document. For example, you can specify the zoom level,
whether or not the toolbar and menu is visible, which side panels should be visible by
default, the page sequence presentation (one page or scrolled), and more. For more
details, see How
to Control the PDF Viewer.
Protect PDF Files with Security Permissions
You can restrict the permissions for people using your PDF files by using some
new command-line parameters. For example, you can use the
-pdf-security-restrict-print parameter to restrict users from printing
the PDF content or the -pdf-security-restrict-copy parameter to restrict
users from copying the PDF content. These parameters that are specific to security
permissions start with -pdf-security and details can be found in Command Line Parameters - Optional Parameters.Support Added for the 'visibility' CSS Property
The
visibility CSS property is now applied during the PDF
transformation (previously, the property was applied in the editor, but had no effect in
the transformation). For example, you can use visibility: hidden to hide
something, such as the title for a block element.Border Styling Improvements
More support was added for styling borders. For example, you can try various
combinations of CSS rules that apply to certain aspects of borders, such as the border
style (solid or dotted lines) or the transparency of the border colors.
Rotate Table Cells
For CSS-based PDF output, you now have the possibility of rotating table cell
content by using the
transform CSS property. For more details, see Tables - Rotating Cell Content.Component Update: Apache FOP 2.6
Updated the Apache FOP used by the Chemistry processor to
version 2.6.
