What is new in this release?

The long awaited version of Aspose.Words for Java &.NET 13.2.0 has been released. This month’s release supports rendering of 3D and shadows effects on Shapes. A shape or image in Microsoft Word document can have advanced effects applied to them, such as shadow, 3D rotation (extrusion), reflection and more. In previous versions Aspose.Words would render shapes with such effect to PDF and similar formats as regular shapes without the effects applied. Starting with Aspose.Words 13.2.0 we have made big improvements to this area of rendering and now 3D extrusion and simple shadows on shapes are now supported upon rendering. This release also supports reduction of File Size when Saving Documents with JPEG Images to PDF. We have made some improvements to the way JPEG images are exported to PDF which results in some great file size saving benefits. One test document which contained a few particularly large images had its output PDF size reduced by up to 12 times. The list of most notable new and improved features in this release are listed below
