Fixes

Issue Product Description
— Comparison PDF side-by-side comparison, page-range compare, and Cells row/column info. External resources are skipped by default. Fixes for PDF tables and layout, HTML apply-changes on Java 9+, and macOS temp directories.
— Conversion Cooperative cancellation for long conversions. New conversions between Bzip2, Gzip, LZMA, XZ, and Unix Z. Earlier 26.7 also added dynamic PDF forms and PDF attachment conversion.
— Viewer OFD format support, hidden PDF popup annotations, and Word DPI / page-number options when rendering to raster. Archive HTML previews improved. Fixes for EML, PDF comments, Arabic DOCX, and EPSF.
— Assembly Plain Java objects work on JDK 16+ without JVM flags. JavaBean, Map, and collection data sources are easier to use. The library no longer breaks the host app’s StAX/XML stack. Barcode resolution and renamed DataTable lookup are fixed.
— Watermark Document engines updated. Evaluation watermark and document-count limits changed. Fixes for Words native calls, license apply, embedded email objects, and PDF annotation watermarks.
— Redaction OOXML compliance when saving Word files. Spreadsheet templates XLT / XLTX / XLTM / TAB. Custom handler for PDF page-area redaction. Image-area positioning on PDF pages is corrected.
— Parser Annotation extraction from PDF, Word, and presentations. HTML tables, page count, and text areas. Metered licensing works again. Lower memory use on image-heavy PDFs.
— Search New index format 26.7 (existing indexes upgrade in place). HTML is extracted natively. Fixes for index merge/delete and a Windows font UnsatisfiedLinkError.
— Markdown Metered license apply no longer fails.
