Key Innovations in PDF SDK 11.0.0
1. Advanced Security Features
The new SDK emphasizes document security, offering innovative tools such as document sanitization and document-level thread safety. These improvements ensure that applications built with the SDK can handle concurrent document processing seamlessly, enhancing stability and performance, especially during high-demand scenarios.
2. Refined Rendering Control

This change means that even the most complex PDF documents can be rendered in a visually impressive and user-friendly manner.
3. Smarter Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
The upgraded OCR functionality transforms scanned documents into easily searchable formats. Developers can control processing modes and use built-in callbacks to monitor tasks, leading to quicker data extraction and improved stability when handling intricate documents. This aspect is particularly beneficial for industries that deal with large volumes of data.
4. Superior PDF Optimization
Users can now optimize scanned documents more effectively with new features that facilitate image compression, quality control, and thorough space audits. This improvement is crucial for organizations looking to manage file sizes without compromising document integrity.
5. Broader Platform Adaptability
The SDK's reach is significantly widened with enhanced support for diverse platforms. This includes improved Go programming language compatibility for Linux and MacOS environments, as well as support for Linux ARM architecture. Additionally, the tool is now compatible with Python 3.11 and subsequent versions, ensuring developers have reliable access across different development environments.
6. Enhanced Compliance Features
Compliance is a critical concern for businesses, and the enhanced features in the new SDK address this directly. For example, the ability to remove transparency from page objects during PDF/A conversion allows companies to meet compliance requirements with minimal effort.
