New Features

BCL easyPDF SDK 6.0, like previous versions, supports Win32 platforms. Unlike previous versions, however, it now also supports Win64 running on the x64 chip set. The 32-bit and 64-bit editions of the SDK are separate packages, so be sure to use the correct one for your operating system as they are not interchangeable. Read the Instructions for 64-bit deployment .

PDF/A/X generation API - BCL easyPDF SDK supports PDF Generation of PDF/A-1b, PDF/X-1 and PDF/X-3 for long term archiving and reliable prepress data interchange. BCL APIs enable developers to easily create 100% PDF/A/X compliant documents. Download Project File...
CMYK Output API - within the PDF/A/X specification.

PDF to EMF (Enhanced Metafile) image conversions. EMF is a vector graphic format, which means it's infinitely scalable, much smaller in size, and contain real text, lines, rectangles, instead of pixels.

XPS Support (Supports XPS to PDF conversion. Requirement: .NET Framework 3.0 or above).
Handles "Invalid Margin" errors in MS Word by giving developers options to either scale the document or crop the the unprintable areas outside of the invalid margins.
Compression for B&W images, which greatly reduces file size and many times more compact than ZIP.
Automatic and CSS-driven pagination (smarter page break, developers can also manually control whether they want to have page break or not).
Added support for transparent images.
Added wait time for loading website page (For a HTML page containing an embedded object such as Java applet, they are sometimes not printed correctly because the applet rendering can happen after the page is completely loaded. Developers can now use this property to wait until the rendering from the embedded object is finished.)
Several enhancements and fixes to improve stability, speed, and performance. Some examples includes: Office, Visio, hyperlink, bookmark, merge batch, etc.
Support for standard hatched pattern brushes.
Support for single-page old-style JPEG TIFF.
Added EnableAutoMacros as a new Boolean property in ExcelPrintJob. It specifies whether auto execute macros are enabled.
