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.
