v2.0.25

📣 borb release 2.0.25

This release is a small feature release.

• Small fix in TextAnnotation.
• Small fix(es) in tests related to redaction.
• All tests that produce a PDF now check the validity of that PDF using an external validator.
  • The default profile of this validator checks against the latest version of the PDF spec. borb was built to adhere to iso32000.
    Most notable difference is the embedding of the standard 14 fonts. I made a separate profile that checks only against the iso32000 spec.
  • CheckBox should be debugged. The validator marks it as a bad PDF.
  • For PDF A1/b to really match the spec, the fonts (even standard 14) need to be embedded.
• You can now specify multiplied_inter_column_spacing in MultiColumnLayout.
• x or Decimal(y) evaluates to Decimal(y) when x == Decimal(0). This was unintended. I only wanted it to evaluate to Decimal(y) when x is None. I fixed all unwanted occurrences. This mostly affected the LayoutElement classes.
• Add Alignment to easy imports
• Add LoremIpsum class to quickly generate dummy text (using a markov chain)

v2.0.24

📣 borb release 2.0.24

This release is a small feature release.

• a strong effort has been made to annotate all asserts
• all public methods are documented
• fixed a small bug in Page.apply_redact_annotations
• fixed a ton of mypy warnings

v2.0.23.2

📣 borb release 2.0.23.2

This release is a small feature release.

• rounded corners are available on LayoutElement and all its children
• all properties of LayoutElement are now available on all its children
  • with the exception of FormField
  • with the exception of nonsensical properties
    • e.g.: font_size on Shape
• PDFToJPG can now locate fonts on Windows and Mac
• OCRImageRenderEventListener has been made more resilient to bad input

v2.0.23

📣 borb release 2.0.23

This release is a small feature release.

• rounded corners are available on LayoutElement and all its children
• all properties of LayoutElement are now available on all its children
  • with the exception of FormField
  • with the exception of nonsensical properties
    • e.g.: font_size on Shape
• PDFToJPG can now locate fonts on Windows and Mac
• OCRImageRenderEventListener has been made more resilient to bad input

v2.0.22.2

📣 borb release 2.0.22.2

This release is a small bugfix release.
By adding al lot of imports to borb/pdf/__init__.py suddenly all imports for Chart were imported.
This included matplotlib.pyplot. This import is only needed when working with Chart.
I changed the code in Chart to only declare the type, but not do the import (as it didn't really need to in the first place).

v2.0.22

📣 borb release 2.0.22

This release is a small feature release:

• Test have been added corresponding to issues on GitHub.
• More documentation has been added in general. No undocumented public methods!
• Unsplash API has been added, to ensure you can build rapid prototypes for Documents by just specifying keywords for images, rather than having to look for the perfect Image
• Small bugfix w.r.t. annotation names
• Small improvement in writing a PDF to bytes, inline array objects no longer have trailing newline character
• Small bugfix to fix layout of FormField objects using FlexibleWidthColumnTable
• Added some imports to borb/pdf/__init__.py to make it easier to import borb objects in general
• Added the EURion symbol to the LineArtFactory
• Added methods to rotate Shape and DisjointShape

v2.0.21

📣 borb release 2.0.21

This release is a small feature release:

• borb can now read some broken PDF documents
• tests have been added for this use case
• more documentation has been added in general (less than 10 undocumented methods)
• border for RemoteGoToAnnotation has been removed

v2.0.20

📣 borb release 2.0.20

This release is a small feature release.

• SoundAnnotation can now be added to a PDF, enabling you to add voice-clips, music or other audio to your document
• JavaScriptPushButton makes it easier to add your own JavaScript enabled buttons
• minor improvement to TextRankKeywordExtraction

The majority of the work this sprint went into updating the documentation.
You should check it out. All code-samples in the README are now actually stand-alone code files that can be run.
They are automatically included in the README, rather than duplicated (as before), making it a lot easier to maintain the examples repo.

v2.0.19

📣 borb release 2.0.19

This release is a small feature release.

• Forms have been extended with PushButton, which enables you to place a PushButton in a PDF and tie an action to it.

• Tests for PushButton have been added to the repository.

• Examples for PushButton have been added to the examples repository.

• A test was added for issue #69 on GitHub, which deals with adding 500 Heading objects to a PDF.
  Turns out recursive parsing has its limits 😵‍💫

• A small fix was introduced for issue #71 on GitHub

• Annotation now is its own proper class, each seperate Annotation has its own subclass. This makes the Page class a lot lighter (where the code previously resided).

• Document level JavaScript is now supported, examples and tests have been added to the corresponding repositories.

• Both embedded files and JavaScript use the concept of a NameTree which is now its own separate class.

In order to make sure your code runs smoothly, check your imports when upgrading to the latest version.

v2.0.18

📣 borb release 2.0.18

This release is a cleanup release.

• The library (previously called ptext) still had some imports being renamed as pDecimal or pString or pList.
  These occurences have been completely removed from the code.
• borb can now create PDF documents that are almost PDF/A-1b valid. Some effort for fonts remains.
