What's New in Oxygen PDF Chemistry 26.0
October 11, 2023
Oxygen PDF Chemistry version 26 is the latest release for the CSS Paged
Media processor used for obtaining PDF output from HTML or XML documents through CSS
styling. This version brings the possibility of setting the width property
on top or bottom page margin boxes to better customize your document when displaying page
numbers, publication titles, or other artwork and XPath expressions can be used inside SVG
templates to insert dynamic text when creating your PDF output. Also, various component
updates and bug fixes were implemented.
Core
Control the Top and Bottom Margins of an Element
It is now possible to set the
width property on page
margin boxes. These margin boxes define rectangular areas placed in the
margins that surround the content of the page and may be used to display static
CSS-generated content (such as page numbers, publication titles, or other artwork). For
more details, see Chemistry
User Manual: Page Margin Boxes.XPath Expressions Evaluated in SVG Templates
A new
expand.xpath.in.svg.templates parameter was added (and
it is enabled by default). It evaluates XPath expressions that have a format of
${expression} in SVG template files (with a file extension of
.template.svg). Thus, you can leverage XPath expressions to dynamically
populate and modify elements in your SVG templates, resulting in more personalized and
tailored PDF outputs. For more details, see Chemistry User Manual: SVG Templates.Component Updates
