Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and from version 0.9.0 onwards this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

Unreleased

1.3.1 - 2025-04-28

Fixed

  • Adjusted make files to properly handle white space in path names (issue #96)

1.3.0 - 2025-02-12

Added

  • Added support for fonts in Web Open Font Format (WOFF/WOFF2)
  • Added support for TrueType/OpenType fonts given as byte arrays
  • Added support for additional barcodes (especially 2D barcodes like QR code, DataMatrix etc). In principle, all barcodes supported by the Zint library can be used.

Fixed

  • Fixed wxPdfDocument::Translate by adding missing unit conversion factor

1.2.1 - 2025-01-06

Changed

  • Improved font lookup in wxPdfFontManager to search also under the font family alias, if given
  • Replaced use of wxScreenDC by wxDisplay
  • Restored support for wxWidgets 3.0.x

Fixed

  • Check for availability of header file Security/SecRandom.h (fix issue #94)
  • Fixed wxPdfDCImpl::DoDrawText for multiline text

1.2.0 - 2024-02-18

wxPdfDocument is compatible with wxWidgets versions 3.2.x and above.

Added

  • Added support for document protection with AES-256 encryption (PDF 2.0).
  • Added support for importing PDF documents protected with AES encryption.

Changed

  • The library now requires a C++11 compiler for compilation.
  • Build support for Visual C++ versions below 2015 has been removed.

Fixed

  • Fixed problem with page breaks in XML tables.

1.1.0 - 2024-01-27

Changed

  • The signature of methods ScaleX, ScaleY, ScaleXY, Scale, MirrorH, MirrorV, SkewX, SkewY, Skew, Rotate, and UseTemplate has been changed to get rid of the negative default values for the position parameters. This was necessary to support negative coordinates in all graphics operations. If an application had explicitly specified the default value (-1) in calls to one of the above methods, these values have to be replaced by calls to method GetX resp GetY.

Fixed

  • Fixed issue #92 "Rotated text at wrong position". The problem arose from the use of negative coordinates. All graphics operations now support negative coordinates, too.
  • Fixed output of wrong text background colour for rotated text in wxPdfDC.

1.0.3 - 2023-11-16

Fixed

  • Fixed handling of long table: take top page margin, page header and table header into account for page breaks.
  • Fixed handling for empty table bodies.
  • Fixed handling of the height of (optional) table header rows (taking it into account for calculating table parts fitting on a page).
  • Fixed isue #81. Improve handling of table cell borders in markup. Table cell borders could be (partially) hidden by table cell backgrounds.
  • Actually use wxPdfDocument::GetImageSize() MIME type parameter.
  • Fixed handling of surrogates for TrueType fonts.
  • Fixed problem with automatic page break

[0.9.0] - 2010-12-29

wxPdfDocument is compatible with wxWidgets version 2.8.11 and version 2.9.1. Compatibility with older wxWidgets versions is not guaranteed.

This is the first release of wxPdfDocument containing a PDF drawing context (wxPdfDC). There are implementations for wxWidgets 2.8.x and 2.9.x; the matching implementation is selected automatically at compile time. Please report your experiences with wxPdfDC to the author of wxPdfDocument, be it bug reports, contributions or feature requests.

Added

  • methods to draw Bezier splines through a list of points; the drawing sample has been extended to show the new functionality
  • PDF drawing context (wxPdfDC); not yet all methods are implemented
  • support for fonts with VOLT (Visual Ordering and Layout Tables) data (currently visual ordering only, preprocessing of the fonts required); fonts for 9 Indic scripts are included to demonstrate this feature

Changes

  • increased output speed for method SaveAsFile (if large graphics files are involved)
  • all currently supported CJK font families are now registered automatically at startup of the font manager
  • MS CJK fonts aren't automatically registered as Type0 fonts, since this conflicts with registering these fonts as TrueType Unicode fonts
  • handling of image masks has been improved

Fixed

  • opening font files could fail if the file path contained non-latin characters Now wxFileSystem::FileNameToURL is used to create valid file names for use in method wxFileSystem::OpenFile
  • invalid format codes in method wxPdfUtility::Double2String could cause problems in MinGW environment
  • registering half-width CJK fonts didn't work
  • bug in page size handling
  • no file was written when Close was called before SaveAsFile
  • bug in the handling of transparency for image masks
  • uninitialized member variables in layer objects possibly causing invisibility of layers
  • cleaned up output formatting codes for building on 64-bit systems
  • compile time bugs for wxWidgets built with wxUSE_STL
  • several minor bugs

[0.8.5] - 2009-10

wxPdfDocument is compatible with wxWidgets version 2.8.10. Some preparations were done to make wxPdfDocument compatible with version 2.9.x and above, too.

Added (all builds)

  • support for individual page sizes
  • support for setting fill rule to odd/even or winding
  • support for setting the text render mode
  • support for layers (optional content groups)
  • support for patterns as draw and fill colours
  • support for Code 128 barcodes

Added (Unicode build)

  • support for kerning
  • support for different encodings for Type1 and TrueType fonts
  • support for using TrueType and OpenType fonts loaded directly from .ttf or .otf file
  • support for using Type1 fonts loaded directly from .pfb and .afm file
  • support for using TrueType and OpenType fonts defined by a wxFont object
  • font subsetting for OpenType Unicode fonts (experimental, currently non-CID fonts only)
  • direct positioning and writing of glyph numbers for TrueType/OpenType Unicode fonts (this may be used in conjunction with tools for writing complex scripts like ICU)

Added (ANSI build)

  • support for fonts defined by a wxFont object (mapped by family, weight and style to the Adobe core fonts)

Changes

  • coordinate transformation (location of origin and y axis orientation) is now done directly in PDF. This was a prerequisite to add wxGraphicsContext support in an upcoming version. User unit scaling is done programmatically.
  • unified the naming of all methods manipulating colours. Now always the British spelling is used, i.e. colour instead of color.

Fixed

  • line style measurements did not use user units
  • encryption support for big endian platforms
  • method wxPdfDocument::ClippingText

[0.8.0] - 2006-12

wxPdfDocument is compatible with wxWidgets version 2.8.0 as well as with version 2.6.x.

Added

  • support for external templates: pages of existing PDF documents may be imported and used as templates
  • font subsetting for TrueType and TrueType Unicode fonts, often resulting in much smaller PDF file sizes
  • support for using and embedding OpenType Unicode fonts
  • enhanced support for password based encryption, encryption key length freely definable between 40 and 128 bits (Attention: Adobe Reader supports only keys with 40 or 128 bits.)
  • support for AES encryption (additional standard encryption method in PDF version 1.6 and above)

Changes

  • As an add-on preprocessed font files for the free DejaVu fonts (version 2.12) are provided in the file release wxPdfDocument Add-Ons.

  • For supporting font subsetting for ordinary non-Unicode TrueType fonts the format of the font definition files has been extended. Font definition files created with prior versions of the makefont utility are still usable, but do not support font subsetting. It is recommended to regenerate own font definition files. Unfortunately common AFM font metric files do not contain glyph information which is required by the makefont utility to create the character-to-glyph mapping. Therefore the utility ttf2ufm had to be changed. The modified version including a Windows executable is available in the file release wxPdfDocument Add-Ons.

[0.7.6] - 2006-10

wxPdfDocument is now compatible with wxWidgets version 2.7.1 and above as well as with version 2.6.x.

Added

  • setting/getting the default path used for loading font files
  • getting the description of the current font
  • loading images from a wxInputStream (in addition to loading from file or wxImage)

Attention: The structure of the font definition files has changed due to the addition of the font attribute xHeight. It is necessary to regenerate own font definition files using makefont. To support the xHeight attribute the utility ttf2ufm had to be changed.

Fixed

  • several bugs

[0.7.5] - 2006-09

Added

  • support for tables in simple XML markup spanning more than a page
  • support for internal links in simple XML markup
  • support for transparency

  • PDF forms
  • JavaScript at the document level
  • Simple XML markup language for styling and structuring text
  • wxPdfDocument::LineCount, wxPdfDocument::TextBox and several getter methods were added for convenience
