Released: Dec 14, 2016

Updates in 16.2.3

Features

• PDF Document Processor
  • PDF/A Compliance - Now supports PDF/A - an ISO-standardized version of the Portable Document Format. Documents can now be exported to one of the following conformance levels:
    • PDF/A-1b
    • PDF/A-2b
    • PDF/A-3b
  • Interactive Forms Flattening - With this release, the PDF Document Processor can flatten interactive forms. This replaces the interactive fields with content such as text, images or shapes. You can flatten the entire form or a specific field on the form.
  • Performance Enhancements - Text documents are now rendered up to 30% faster. We have also optimized document printing. For instance, text documents can be printed to the XPS writer up to four times faster. In addition, the resulting XPS file is approximately 20 times smaller.
• Spreadsheet Document Automation
  • Two-Way Data Binding - With this release, the Spreadsheet Control provides a simple and consistent way to manipulate data. You can now bind a worksheet or specific cell range to a data source. A cell range can also be used as a data source for any DevExpress or third-party data-aware control (Data Grid, Chart, etc.). All data-related modifications affecting the worksheet are immediately propagated to bound controls and changes made within external controls are immediately reflected in the worksheet.
  • Print Titles - DevExpress Spreadsheet allows you to print titles for individual documents. If a worksheet occupies more than one page, you can repeat row or column headings on each printed page in order to help improve readability.
  • XLSX/XLSM File Encryption - With this release, the Spreadsheet Control supports XLSX/XLSM file encryption. You can encrypt documents using standard or agile encryption.
