What’s New in this Release?

The long awaited version of Aspose.Words for .NET & Java (11.4.0) has been released. The release provides 133 fixes and new features. Aspose.Words now exports gray and black color to PDF the same way as how Microsoft Word does. Such color is now exported in the DeviceGray color space and all other types of colors are exported in DeviceRGB. This exports colors correctly as “true black“ as the customer originally wanted. Aspose.Words already boasts support for rendering embedded EMF images to other formats such as PDF and image.
