This iText by Apryse release greatly improves PDF accessibility and reuse. PDF/UA creation now includes automatic color contrast checks and enhanced APIs for accessible, reusable Well-Tagged PDFs. Also, pdfOCR 5.0.0 adds PaddleOCR and EasyOCR support with broad language coverage, better performance, and optional GPU acceleration.
iText Suite 9.5 focuses on preparing for two upcoming additions to the PDF 2.0 specification: introducing support for Brotli compression of PDF streams, and post-quantum resilient algorithms for PDF digital signatures. There’s also improvements for PAdES signature profile validation and various enhancements and bug fixes for iText Core and the add-on modules.
For the third release of iText’s 25th anniversary year, Apryse brings you iText Suite 9.3. For iText Core, we’ve further enhanced its best-in-class digital signing and validation capabilities, with EU LOTL support. On top of that pdfOCR receives a significant boost in capabilities by supporting AI/ML-based ONNX-compatible OCR models, and pdfOptimizer gets better font subsetting for substantially smaller files.
