DocumentUltimate v2.1.0 is released

This release includes the following changes:

• Added: Full CAD support. DWG files (AutoCAD R13, R14, 2000, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016) and DXF files (AutoCAD R12, R13, R14, 2000, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016) can now be opened with DocumentViewer and can now be converted perfectly to Pdf, Ps, Svg, Xaml, Bmp, Gif, Tif, Png, Jpg with DocumentConverter. In previous versions, there was DWG and DXF support but it was pretty limited and it could only load very few AutoCAD format versions. Now any AutoCAD file you throw at it will work.

• Improved: DocumentViewer could sometimes show “XPZ invalid part” error, this happened because of browser cache conflicting with a new version of the cached file. For example if you deleted the cache file and forced regeneration or if a conversion error occured before, this temporary but misleading error was shown (it would disappear when you opened the document second time). From now on you should never receive this error because we splitted document conversion and downloading so incorrect browser caching will be prevented.

• Improved: DocumentViewer will show an additional downloading indicator animation when opening the document. As you know, upon first time view “please wait a moment” dialog is displayed. However even the conversion is completed or when you view the document second time from cache, if you have a very slow network and a large document, there can be a noticable delay until you see the first page appear. This can feel like the DocumentViewer is not responsive however it’s actually downloading partially the first page of the document. The downloading indicator in the middle will ensure the user that the DocumentViewer is actually busy and that it will successfully display the first page in a second or so.

• Fixed: When using non-physical DocumentSource (bytes or stream) and if the source file was a PDF file, the download button would fail with “Path cannot be null” error. This occured because the source copy in cache folder was being overwritten by the generated PDF file so the download button could not find the original source copy anymore (even keepSourceCached was set to true). From now on source copy will use a different key so that it never overlaps with the conversion target that have the same extension (PDF in this case).

• Improved: More descriptive errors will be shown for some cases in DocumentViewer, for example “Download” and “Download As PDF” buttons and PDF Conversion step will tell exactly if the error was due to missing source copy in cache folder or non-existing physical source file.

• Fixed: Trial watermark was being applied twice for PDF source files (could be understood from the boldness of red text color). This occured because the watermark was first applied to the source copy in cache folder and then applied to the generated intermediate PDF file. From now on, source copy will never be touched after being copied from bytes or stream.
