Learn about the changes, additions and fixes of the Toolbox add-on.

Version 1.5.0​

24 January 2025

Added​

  • The Toolbox add-on now natively supports Microsoft Windows ARM64 processor architecture.
  • You can now copy a page without copying its graphical content using the new DoNotCopyContent option. This is helpful for content removal workflows that have to fully preserve a page’s metadata, annotations, and widgets.

Fixed​

  • A bug where the soft mask of an image was lost during copying has been fixed.
  • This update fixes an issue where the Toolbox add-on incorrectly handled x-advance information of the text painting operator, leading to wrongly placed glyphs.

Version 1.4.0​

28 November 2024

Added​

  • You can now set the Hidden flag for Widget classes. When this flag is set, the Widget is invisible and unavailable to user interaction.

  • You can now get and set the Locked flag for Widget class. When a Widget class is Locked its properties can’t be changed.

  • As of this update, you can also get and set the FontSize for the CombTextField and the ListBox classes.

Version 1.3.0​

9 October 2024

Added​

  • The Pdf.Structure namespace has been added to the Toolbox add-on. You can use the classes and methods in this namespace to add structure information (“tags”) to the generated PDF content for use cases such as PDF accessibility. With this update, you can Tag content created using the ContentGenerator and link the content to the document’s Structure Tree. You can also create custom tags by adding them to the document’s RoleMap.

  • As of this update, you can determine whether a font is embedded in a PDF by checking the IsEmbedded property of the Font object.

  • You can now redact a rectangular area of an image using the Redact method of the Image class. This changes the content of the image so that all pixels within the defined rectangle are set to the same color.

Fixed​

  • With this update, you can set the URI for the LicensingService using the Sdk class of the Toolbox add-on. Before this fix, the default value for the LicensingService was always used.

  • Before this update, the Toolbox add-on sometimes could terminate unexpectedly when:

    The underlying issues were fixed. As a result, the Toolbox add-on no longer crashes in the described scenarios.

Version 1.2.0​

22 July 2024

Added​

  • Image sampling accesses and handles the raw pixel data of an image in a sequential order without altering the resolution. This involves reading or setting the pixel values directly, often in the context of image processing or manipulation at the most detailed level. You can now get and set image samples using the Toolbox add-on. Review the Image.Samples property in the API documentation for more information.

  • As of this update, you can set the URL for the Licensing Service using the Sdk Class of the Toolbox add-on. This URL is used for trial licenses and page-based licenses.

Version 1.1.0​

28 June 2024

Added​

  • It is now possible to retrieve information about a content element’s Optional Content Membership using the Toolbox add-on. Optional Content Membership is defined by Optional Content Groups (also called layers) whose state determines whether a content element is visible or invisible.

  • You can now retrieve the Rotation (None, Clockwise, UpsideDown, or CounterClockwise) of a page using the Toolbox add-on.

Version 1.0.0​

Added​
