What's New in Oxygen PDF Chemistry 26.1
March 25, 2024
Oxygen PDF Chemistry version 26.1 is an incremental release for the CSS Paged Media processor used for obtaining PDF output from HTML or XML documents through CSS styling. This version adds basic float support, incorrect values for the units of measurement detected in the width/height of images are now automatically fixed, and new CSS properties are available for configuring your PDF output.
Core
Basic Float Support
Oxygen PDF Chemistry now has basic support for floating images. This makes it
possible to wrap text around an embedded image.
Incorrect Letters in Width/Height Values for Images are Automatically Fixed
For CSS-based PDF transformations, if an image has values for the width or
height that contains uppercase letters (which causes the image to be missing in the
output), the incorrect value is automatically fixed and a warning message is displayed so
that you can also fix the problem in the source file.
Configure Scale for PDF Output
A new CSS property (
-oxy-scale) can be used to specify a scale
factor (on both the x and y axis) for the PDF output. If only one number is provided, it
is used for both the x and y scales. A scale factor smaller than 1 shrinks the page. A
scale factor greater than 1 enlarges the page.Configure Crop Box Style
A new CSS property (
-oxy-crop-box) can be used to choose the
cropping for the page box rectangle that surrounds the area where the content is
displayed. The possible values are: trim-box, bleed-box,
and media-box.Configure Crop Box Offset
A new CSS property (
-oxy-crop-offset) can be used to specify
an extended area outside the page box rectangle (default page size) that contains the PDF
output content. Up to four values can be set (separated by spaces): top,
right, bottom, and
left.Add Crop and Registration Marks
The
marks CSS property property can be used to add crop and/or
registration marks to the PDF document. They are printed outside the page box to
facilitate the trimming and alignment of sheets of paper. The possible values are:
none, crop (adds short lines outside the page box),
and cross (adds cross-shaped registration marks outside the edge of the
page box).
